With Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts to reduce their size and weight. This procedure is typically performed for medical reasons, as large, heavy breasts can cause physical discomfort and pain, including back and neck pain, skin irritation, and posture problems.

Some people may choose to undergo the procedure for aesthetic reasons, as well, as they may feel that their large breasts are disproportionate to their body size or make them self-conscious. Breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-5 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before making a decision.
What you can expect on Procedure Day
The day of the breast reduction procedure is usually the culmination of several weeks or months of preparation, including consultations with a plastic surgeon, preoperative tests, and preparation for the surgery.
On the day of the procedure, the patient will typically arrive at the surgical facility several hours before the scheduled surgery time. They will be given instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, such as fasting for a certain period of time, not drinking alcohol or taking certain medications, and showering with a special soap. Before the procedure begins, the patient will be given general anesthesia to put them to sleep and prevent any pain or discomfort during the procedure. The plastic surgeon will then make incisions on the breast and remove excess fat, tissue, and skin. They will also reposition the nipples, if necessary, and reshape the breast to achieve the desired size and shape.

Experience the Benefits
After the breast reduction surgery, the patient will need to take some time to recover. This will involve managing pain and discomfort, taking care of the incisions, and following specific postoperative instructions given by the plastic surgeon.
In the first few days after the surgery, the patient will likely experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. They may also experience some difficulty moving and may need to limit physical activity. To manage pain, the plastic surgeon will usually prescribe pain medication and advise the patient to take it as directed.
TimeLine
It is important to avoid strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting for several weeks after the surgery, as this can interfere with the healing process and lead to complications. Most patients will be able to return to work and normal activities within 2-4 weeks after the procedure. With proper postoperative care, patients can expect a successful recovery and excellent results from their breast reduction procedure. It is important to discuss the specific postoperative instructions and recovery timeline with the plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome.
