About the Breast Reduction Procedure
It is a misconception to think that women interested in plastic surgery for their breasts automatically want to go bigger. Many women desire smaller breasts for a variety of reasons, whether because of chronic pain due to uncomfortably heavy breasts, body image concerns, wanting to address breast sagging, or a desire for a more proportionate appearance.
For these and other common reasons, they choose Clearfork Plastic Surgery Center for breast reduction surgery in Fort Worth because they trust our board-certified surgeons and are eager to do something about it.
Breast Reduction Before & Afters
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to alleviate discomfort caused by overly large breasts by removing excess tissue, fat, and skin. This surgery helps women achieve a breast size in proportion to their body, relieving physical discomfort like back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as painful indentations in the shoulder area from bra straps, while reshaping the breasts for a balanced, natural appearance. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell support patients interested in breast reduction by:
- Reducing breast size for patients who believe their breasts are too large.
- Creating smaller, natural, and more shapely breasts.
- Reshaping and lifting breast tissue to achieve proper body proportions.
Breast reduction surgery is one of the more common forms of plastic surgery in Fort Worth and can instantly improve your quality of life. For instance, many patients find engaging in physical activities and exercise easier following the procedure. It also helps create a more balanced appearance, enhancing overall body harmony and boosting self-confidence.
How a Breast Reduction Works
Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell are sensitive to your needs and desires. They will sit with you and listen to everything you want to achieve through breast reduction surgery in Fort Worth, including reviewing any photos of breast sizes and silhouettes you prefer to mimic. Together, you’ll determine with your surgeon what the best approach is; you will also have every opportunity to ask questions and dispel any concerns you may have about the procedure.
Your Experience on Surgery Day
The good news about breast reduction surgery is that it is considered an outpatient procedure. In other words, you will arrive on surgery day at our surgical facility and typically go home the same day. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell use light general anesthesia, which is strong but safe enough to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. You will not feel any pain during surgery. During your breast reduction surgery in Fort Worth:
- We will monitor your vital signs to ensure your health and safety.
- The surgeon will make incisions around the areola and down the breast to the crease, removing excess tissue, fat, and skin. The nipples may also be repositioned to a more youthful position, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted.
- You will also receive a breast lift to ensure a comfortable, more youthful position.
- If necessary, Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will recommend reducing the size of your areoles for a more balanced look.
Recovery from breast reduction involves wearing a surgical bra or compression garment to support the breasts and reduce swelling.
Recovery After Breast Reduction in Fort Worth
You will experience minor pain and discomfort as a result of your breast reduction surgery. That said, most of it, along with swelling and bruising, can be easily controlled with pain medication and rest. Most patients at Clearfork Plastic Surgery can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Full recovery can take several months, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
You will want to avoid heavy lifting for the first few days after surgery. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell recommend that you have someone on hand in the home to help with your children, cooking, etc. Surgical scars are inevitable and will usually appear darker as they heal. However, they usually fade and become far less noticeable within 12 months of your procedure.
At the end of your recovery period, you should notice your breasts are in a more aesthetically pleasing shape and size for your body.
