What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of the breasts. The procedure involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, resulting in breasts that are smaller, lighter, and firmer.

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed for medical reasons, such as to alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture, and reduce skin irritation and rashes. It can also improve the overall appearance of the breasts, making them more proportionate to the body.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Women looking to reduce the size of their breasts for reasons related to comfort, health, or aesthetics could be good candidates for breast reduction surgery. The most common reasons why women choose to undergo the procedure include the following:

  • Breasts that are too large to match the proportions of their body
  • Inability to wear certain types of clothing
  • Large breasts causing frequent pain in the shoulders, neck, and/or back
  • Inability to participate in certain activities due to discomfort or embarrassment
  • Skin friction beneath the breasts causing rashes or infections
  • Large breasts causing poor posture

To be an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery, you should also be in good physical health, be a non-smoker, and not be currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

One of the best things that I have ever done was reaching out to Dr. Fisher’s office about scheduling a consultation. Her team has been nothing but friendly and genuine in the entirety of my time in and out of her office, and Dr. Fisher herself made me feel like I was welcome and valid through every step.

I’m a year out from my ‘mommy makeover’ and I’m so happy I found this practice and Dr. Dumestre!
