Dear msevery20,breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hello and thank you for your question.It is possible. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!
In general, large breast reductions are better left at D cups, because if the breasts are left too small there is not a great solution. It would be silly to perform a breast reduction and then turn around and perform a breast augmentation because the breasts are now too small. You have to realize that after breast reduction, your belly, legs, and arms will appear bigger as well. Finally, the skin envelope and fullness generated from a D is usually more aesthetically pleasing. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and reductions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking.
I do not reduce breasts to preconceived values. I reduce breasts to the size proportionate to your body. 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.
Hello and thank you for your question. Although 37cm and 40cm are significant distances, committing a patient to an insensate free nipple graft in my practice is more an exception than the rule. I would recommend an in-person evaluation with another board certified plastic surgeon to obtain an...
BRs which are medically necessary (i.e. you suffer back, shoulder, and neck "pain" with DOCUMENTED medical attention over a period of a YEAR) are typically covered, but there are other criteria such as amount of breast tissue removed. Read your Kaiser Permanent certificate of coverage. Determine...
Hi and thank you for your question. There are a lot of options regarding breast surgery that could help you. I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can properly assess the amount of tissue that must be removed from your breasts in person. Good luck!
