What are Breast Reductions?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. The goal is to relieve discomfort from very large breasts and improve aesthetic appearance. During the procedure, Dr. Wallach carefully removes excess tissue and reshapes the breasts using incisions tailored to your needs, often in a lollipop or anchor pattern. Depending on how much breast tissue is removed, nipples and areolas may be repositioned for a lifted, natural look, and the areolas may be resized. The surgery takes about 2 to 4 hours, and most patients return home the same day.
Who is a Candidate for Breast Reduction?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are individuals who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to large breasts. You may be a good candidate if you suffer from back or neck pain, have difficulty exercising, or feel self-conscious about your breast size. A consultation with Dr. Wallach will help determine if surgery is right for you; your consultation will also determine if additional surgical techniques like a breast lift are necessary.
