Who are the best candidates for breast reduction?

Candidates who desire to reduce the size of their breasts for aesthetic or medical reasons. The best candidates are in good physical health and do not smoke.

What are the risks of breast reduction surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks — though rare. The most common include bleeding, infection, changes in skin sensation, asymmetry, and poor wound healing. Follow-up visits monitor and correct any complications.

Will breast reduction affect my ability to breastfeed?

It is best to be finished having children before breast reduction if you plan to breastfeed. The surgery doesn’t completely eliminate the ability to breastfeed but may limit it.

When will final results be apparent?

Once swelling and bruising dissipate. Swelling can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Scars continue to fade over time — protecting them from the sun helps prevent darkening.

What is recovery like?

Swelling and bruising are most apparent during the first two weeks. Most patients return to work after two weeks. Resume regular exercise after about six weeks.
