You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have one or more of the following
conditions:
breasts that are too large in proportion to your body frame
heavy, pendulous breasts with nipples and areolas that point downward
one breast is much larger than the other
back, neck or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
skin irritation beneath your breasts
indentations in your shoulders from tight bra straps
restriction of physical activity due to the size and weight of your breasts
dissatisfaction or self-consciousness about the largeness of your breasts
Breast reduction can be performed at any age, but plastic
surgeons usually recommend waiting until breast development has stopped. Childbirth and breast-feeding may have significant and
unpredictable effects on the size and shape of your breasts. Nevertheless, many women decide to undergo breast reduction before
having children and feel that they can address any subsequent changes later. If you plan to breast-feed in the future, you should
discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
During the consultation, you will be asked about your desired breast size as well as anything else about your breasts that you
would like to see improved. This will help your plastic surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they
realistically can be achieved.
How Breast Reduction is Performed
There are many techniques for performing breast reduction. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, our Rodeo Drive Shaped for Fashion
Breast Reduction™ customizes the procedure to your individual needs.
Where are the incisions placed?
The most common method of reducing the breasts involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola. Another runs
vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast. The third incision follows the natural
curve of the breast crease.
After the surgeon has removed excess breast tissue, fat and skin, the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position.
The areola, which in large breasts usually has been stretched, also is reduced in size. Skin that was formerly located above
the nipple is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Liposuction may be used to improve the contour under the arm.
