Breast Reduction

• Relieves chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain

Many women find that breast reduction surgery improves not only their physical well-being but also their quality of life by allowing them to feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery if you:

• Experience chronic pain in the back, neck, or shoulders due to large breasts
• Suffer from skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts
• Have difficulty participating in physical activities or exercise
• Feel self-conscious or uncomfortable with your breast size
• Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
• Have realistic expectations about surgery and recovery

During your consultation with Dr. Capraro, he will evaluate your concerns, medical history, and goals in order to determine if breast reduction is right for you.

Consultation & Surgical Planning

• Dr. Capraro will assess your breast size, skin elasticity, and overall health
• Discussion of desired breast shape and size
• Explanation of the surgical approach and expected results

The Procedure

• Performed under general anesthesia for comfort
• Reshaped and lifted breast tissue enhances contour and symmetry
• The excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to achieve a proportionate breast size

Standard incision techniques include:

• Anchor-shaped (inverted T) – Used for significant breast reduction
• Lollipop incision – Suitable for moderate reductions with minimal scarring

Recovery & Healing

• Swelling and soreness are common in the first few days
• Patients wear a supportive surgical bra to aid healing
• Most women return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks
• Complete healing and final breast shape develop over the next few months
