Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction Yes, a benign mass can be removed at the same time of a breast reduction. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Benign mass Yes it may be possible for the benign mass to be removed at the time of your breast reduction depending on the size and location. You will want to have test results indicating that the mass is considered benign. Speak with your surgeon about your concerns at your consultation.

Answer: Mass Hello, Thank you for your question. It's difficult to answer for sure without more info about the mass and your breasts, but chances are it can be done at the same time as a breast reduction. As you probably know, a lift is performed as part of the procedure as well. It is covered by insurance and it can even possibly be done in an office based OR setting, which is more comfortable and convenient than a hospital. Breast reduction is a great procedure with an extremely high satisfaction rate. Mark G. Albert, M.D., F.A.C.S.New York, NY and Boston, MA

Answer: Mass removal Dear Ebunoluwa, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to combine breast reduction and mass removal. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
