If you have large, heavy breasts, which may be the cause of breathing difficulties, back, shoulder and neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap indentations and chafing under your breasts, you may be a candidate for surgical breast reduction. Mobile Alabama plastic surgeons will also perform breast reduction if excessive breast size decreases your sense of attractiveness and self-confidence. Some women also desire breast reduction surgery because they feel that their large breasts interfere with daily activities and exercise.
Breast reduction surgery is intended to give the patient a more attractive breast contour and smaller size. Breast reduction is also intended to free the patient from health problems associated with excessively large breasts. Another goal of breast reduction surgery is an improved self-image.
The breast reduction procedure is done under general anesthesia. The nipple-areolar complex is moved upward and excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The patient goes home in a special bra that holds the breasts symmetrically during initial healing. Initial discomfort subsides daily and can be controlled with oral medication. Scars will usually fade in 6–12 months.
