Breast Reduction Surgery in Denver, Greenwood Village, CO & Beverly Hills, CA

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a transformative procedure that alleviates physical discomfort and enhances aesthetic balance. At Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery, patients seeking breast reduction benefit from expert care, advanced techniques, and personalized solutions to achieve natural and proportionate results.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

Many women find it difficult to physically exercise due to their oversized breasts due to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Breast reduction surgery offers a solution to these issues, delivering significant health and aesthetic benefits:

  • Relief from Physical Discomfort: Breasts that are large can cause discomfort due to the straps digging into the skin, poor posture, and skin irritation. Breast reduction alleviates these symptoms.
  • Improved Mobility: After the procedure, patients experience greater ease in performing physical activities such as exercise, which may have hindered their breast size.
  • Enhanced Aesthetic Proportions: Breast reduction restores balance to the body’s proportions, offering a more symmetrical and flattering appearance.
  • Boosted Confidence: Reducing the size of the breasts can improve self-image, making patients feel more comfortable in their clothes and overall appearance.

Details of the Breast Reduction Procedure

During breast reduction surgery, the patient’s breasts are sculpted to fit the shape of their bodies while the volume and weight of the breasts are reduced. At Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery, the process is carefully tailored to meet each individual’s needs.

  1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your health history, discuss your goals, and explain the surgical approach. This step ensures a personalized plan for achieving optimal results.
  2. Aesthesia: To ensure the comfort of the patient, general anesthesia is typically used during surgery.
  3. Incision Technique: The most common incisions are the anchor-shaped (inverted T) or the lollipop technique, depending on the patient’s breast size and desired outcome. The surgeon will make precise incisions to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.
  4. Reshaping and Lift: After the tissue removal, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to create a youthful, proportionate contour.
  5. Recovery: The recovery process typically takes 2-6 weeks. Patients will experience slight swelling and some noticeable soreness in the first few days, but these symptoms gradually subside.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Reduction

When women are physically uncomfortable or dissatisfied with their breast size, breast reduction is a good option. Key characteristics of good candidates include:

  • Individuals suffering from back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by oversized breasts
  • Those with skin irritation or rashes beneath the breastfold
  • Women who find it challenging to engage in physical activities due to breast size
  • Individuals seeking to improve their breast proportions for a more balanced appearance
  • Non-smokers in good general health with realistic expectations
