Large breasts can not only cause self-consciousness in some women; they can also lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as back pain, shortness of breath, and skeletal deformities. At Stephens Plastic Surgery in Baton Rouge, breast reduction can alleviate these symptoms and restore a more balanced figure.

BREAST REDUCTION PROCEDURE

WHAT IS A BREAST REDUCTION?

Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to alleviate discomfort caused by large breasts. It also creates better proportions in the upper body. If you’re ready to have a more balanced shape and be free from the pain associated with overly large breasts, Dr. J. Anthony Stephens can help. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a high level of experience and skill in breast surgery.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A BREAST REDUCTION?

There are many problematic issues associated with overly large breasts — both cosmetic and medical. During your consultation, Dr. Stephens will assess several factors such as your overall health, medical history, and cosmetic goals and expectations in order to determine if breast reduction surgery is right for you. Women who are considering breastfeeding may be advised to postpone surgery, as having a breast reduction can affect the milk ducts. The most common include:

Constant pain and discomfort in the neck, back, and/or shoulders

Rash or irritation underneath the breasts 

Trouble performing certain activities such as sports or exercise

Difficulty finding bras, swimsuits, and other clothing that fits well

Unhappiness with the appearance of overly large breasts

Breast REDUCTION PROCEDURE Details

During breast reduction surgery in Baton Rouge, you will be under general anesthesia. Dr. Stephens will relocate the nipple and areola to an elevated position on the breast. He will then remove excess fat and tissues via excision or liposuction, depending on your specific case. Incisions will be placed carefully in hidden in the natural folds of the breasts when possible in order to minimize visible scarring. 

Most scarring from this procedure is easily hidden within bras and bathing suits. The extent of breast reduction surgery can depend on whether just fat alone needs to be removed, or whether there is also excess glandular tissue and skin. During your consultation, Dr. Stephens will evaluate your individual condition and discuss all surgical options with you. 

After Your BREAST REDUCTION PROCEDURE

What Results to Expect

Most of the swelling and bruising will subside within the first few weeks following surgery. You can expect your breasts to be completely settled into their new shape in 6-12 months. Breast reduction patients often describe the procedure as life-changing. Not only do they feel more comfortable in their own body physically; they also feel much better emotionally. Clothing fits better, many activities are easier to do, and self-image is significantly enhanced. 

AFTER BREAST SURGERY
INSTRUCTIONS

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common after breast reduction surgery in Baton Rouge. While the majority of patients are able to return to work after a few weeks, lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided during the initial healing phase of the breasts. Dr. Stephens will monitor your progress and advise you on when to return to all normal activities.
