Miami Beach Breast Reduction doctors

Breast reduction is a topic that patients and doctors often have difficulty communicating effectively about.  The degree of ptosis or droopiness is often confused with 'too big'  Breast reductions often leave patients with flat unaesthetic and heavily scarred breasts.  For patients with very large breasts that have descended, I prefer to use a technique that allows restructuring the breast tissues into an aesthetic form up high with superior pole fullness instead of removing large amounts of volume from the breast.  Depending on the shape of the breasts, I prefer to use a modified vertical reduction with a pectoral sliing to create this support.  In longer breasts, I use a technique that I call the 'FEMMA-S' that allows me to use the tissue that is usually thrown away in an augmentation to create a projecting round breast.  Focus on form not size.  In my opinion a wise pattern breast reduction which creates an anchor scar should be used rarely to never.  I hope this helps!

All the best,

It is normal to have some pain after a reduction mammaplasty for a number of months but you should always let your surgeon know of your concerns so he can let you know if there is a problem or more commonly that it is normal and will resolve.

for many of the reasons already listed, office based surgery is a safe, more cost effective alternative to surgery in a hospital.  However, if you are planning on having your breast reduction surgery covered by your insurance, this must have pre-authorization for both the surgical center and physician and must be performed in a center that contracts with your insurance carrier, typically a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.  As already mentioned by others, making sure you are seeing a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and that the center is appropriately certified is vital to your safety and the success of your surgery.
