San Diego Breast Reduction doctors

From your photos, it appears that you area a good candidate for reduction mammaplasty, although it would be helpful to see photos out of clothes. A few plastic surgeons may promote the use of the laser in breast reduction for marketing purposes, but the is no evidence that this is a superior technique to a traditional approach or that the results are any better. I would  be somewhat skeptical, but base your overall selection of surgeon on factors such as experience and photos of cases the surgeon has performed.

Thank you for the question and picture.

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure; based on the picture it appears that you are doing well. You may find that the breasts may “settle” and appear smaller/softer within the next few months.You may find that it will take several additional months before you see the final results of the breast reduction surgery. It will take several additional months for the swelling to completely subside.

In regards to incision line care, it is best for you to ask your plastic surgeon;  you will find that every surgeon has his/her preferences.  Out of respect for your surgeon (and considering that he/she is ultimately responsible for your outcome) you should follow his/her “protocol”.

Best wishes.

Thank you for the question.

I would suggest that you continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon;  if this area remains a problem you may want to calmly and in a non-accusatory fashion ask for her diagnosis.  If your plastic surgeon seems uncertain you may want to politely ask for a referral  for a second opinion.

This type of situation is often related to retained foreign body (for example long lasting/permanent sutures)  or  unhealthy tissue ( fat necrosis).  

In person examination will be important in making the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

Best wishes.
