About Breast Reduction
Do you ever dream about what it might be like to have unlimited choices in clothing and physical activities, then wonder whether you should get serious about breast reduction in Boca Raton?
For some women with large, heavy breasts, breast reduction, known medically as reduction mammoplasty, can be a life-changing experience. That’s because the procedure has the power to address a variety of quality-of-life issues. If your breasts cause shoulder, neck or back pain, if you suffer from painful bra strap grooves and irritated skin under your breasts, surgery can alleviate these conditions. With smaller breasts in proportion to your body, you may also find you feel more self-confident, more active and eager to try new things.
Breast reduction is often performed on women in their 30s and beyond, but it can be a good choice for younger women who are uncomfortable with their figure, as well. It’s also a popular procedure for weight loss patients. You don’t need to wonder whether you’re a candidate – you can request a FREE consultation to discuss Boca Raton breast reduction with Dr. Steven Schuster or Dr. Daniel Kovacs. They have treated many women with large breasts and understand the challenges you face. Our surgeons will take time to talk you through your options, and if you decide to move forward, they will enjoy helping you look and feel more comfortable.

THE BASICS – BOCA RATON BREAST REDUCTION
At Schuster Plastic Surgery, your surgical plan will be designed with your unique needs in mind. Some women who need a minimal reduction may have incisions around the areola only, allowing Dr. Schuster or Dr. Kovacs to remove a small amount of skin and tissue. Most women need incisions that circle the areola and then travel straight down on the breast (a short-scar breast reduction). Our surgeons move the nipple/areola complex higher, reducing the size of the areola, if needed, while leaving the nipple connected to its blood supply. They remove excess skin, fat, and glands from the underside of the breast and suture the incisions closed.
Breast reduction can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures. Some women may opt to have a breast reduction combined with liposuction or an arm or thigh lift. Others make breast reduction part of their mommy makeover by including a tummy tuck in the same surgical plan to rejuvenate their figures after pregnancy.

How long should I wait to have breast reduction after losing weight?
Ideally, your weight should be stable for several months before breast reduction surgery to achieve long-lasting results. Similarly, it’s best for most women to delay breast reduction until they’re finished having children. There are exceptions, of course, so a good way to plan your strategy is to come in for a consultation.

How bad will the scars be?
As you know, every surgical procedure leaves scars. Breast incisions normally heal quite well, and after several months most women find their scars aren’t very noticeable. In any case, they will be hidden by your clothing, even bathing suits.
