Breast Reduction Pre-surgery Q&A?
What is breast reduction plastic surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure in which excess breast tissue
is removed to resize and reshape the breasts. In most cases, breast reductions are performed to provide relief from the pain
and physical restrictions endured by women with oversized, heavy breasts.
Am I a candidate for breast reduction cosmetic surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty)?
Women with large, disproportionate breasts who are afflicted by pain, discomfort, and embarrassment due to their breast size
may be good candidates for breast reduction surgery. Ideal candidates for breast reductions are women who are also not currently
pregnant or breastfeeding and do not plan to breastfeed in the future.
With the various surgical options available, women of all races and ethnicities are candidates for breast reduction, including
African American women, Asian women, Caucasian women, and women from other races.
What is the breast reduction surgery recovery period like?
Breast reduction surgery recovery will require the constant use of a surgical bra for several weeks. During the first few weeks
following breast reductions, breasts will be swollen and bruised. The swelling may cause a temporary loss of sensation in nipples
and breast skin.
When can I return to work and exercise?
Although your chest may be sore, you can resume light activities within a 5-7 days following breast reduction surgery. In order
to help the healing process, routine physical activity and exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks after breast
reductions. It is very important to avoid lifting and pushing or pulling motions during this period.
Because sexual arousal could cause incisions to swell, creating the possibility of delayed healing; sexual activity should be
avoided for at least two to three weeks after breast reduction surgery.
Since there are various surgical techniques used in breast reductions and individual circumstances vary, it is important to get
specific instructions from your breast reduction surgeon regarding returning to work and physical activity after breast
reduction surgery.
What are the benefits associated with breast reductions plastic surgery?
There are two major benefits of breast reduction surgery: relief from pain and increased personal satisfaction with appearance.
Many women have breast reductions because their oversized breasts cause back, neck, and shoulder pain and limit their physical
activities. Women also seek breast reduction surgery to obtain breasts that are more proportionate to their frames.
Breast Reduction Post-surgery Q&A?
What risks and complications are involved in Reduction Mammoplasty?
Breast reduction complications may include issues that are common potential problems for all surgery: bleeding, infection,
hematoma, adverse reactions to anesthesia, and scarring. Specific potential breast reduction surgery risks are asymmetrical
breasts, uneven nipples, altered or loss of breast sensation, and the inability to breastfeed.

What type of scarring should I expect in Breast Reduction surgery?
Scarring and its potential complications keep many women from getting breast reduction surgery. African American women may have
even greater concerns because of their tendency towards keloid scarring.
With various techniques for breast reductions, there are several possible scarring patterns. Traditional breast reduction surgery
will produce anchor-like scars that will extend around the nipple, down the middle of the breast, and under the breast. Vertical
incision breast reductions tend to create shorter scars which also circle the nipple and extend vertically down the breast, but
do not continue under the breast. "Scarless" breast reductions through liposuction usually only leave minor scars that are
typically left under the breast fold. (It is important to note that although this procedure seems to be an optimal procedure
for women trying to avoid scarring during breast reduction, especially African American women prone to keloid scarring,
liposuction breast reductions may not be a good option for women with breasts larger than size C whose breasts are saggy.)
It is not wise to avoid breast reduction surgery because of possible scarring since the benefits of breast reductions tend to
outweigh the appearance of scars. Also, scars from breast reductions tend to fade over time and can usually be hidden under
bras or bathing suit tops.
How long do the results of Reduction Mammoplasty (breast reduction surgery) last?
Once breast reduction surgery is performed, breasts will remain smaller than they would be if the procedure had never been
performed. However, patients who gain weight, become pregnant, or take hormones after breast reductions may notice an increase
in breast size due to a natural increase in breast tissue. Also, the effects of aging and gravity may cause breasts to
sag over time.
Will my insurance cover the cost of breast reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)?
Breast reductions may be covered by medical insurance if the purpose of the breast reduction surgery is to alleviate physical
discomfort and pain caused by oversized breasts. In some cases, however, the cost of breast reduction surgery may not qualify
for insurance coverage. During these cases, or in instances when medical insurance only pays a portion of the fees, healthcare
financing for breast reduction procedures is available.
