Benefits of Breast Reduction
Benefits of a breast reduction for Little Rock women may include:
- Relief from large and heavy breasts
- A new, balanced and proportionate breast size
- Improved self-confidence
- Reduction of sagging and stretched skin
Depending on the patient, a breast reduction may also be combined with a breast lift to provide maximum breast rejuvenation and enhancement. Dr. Devlin will discuss your options with you when you meet with him for a consultation.
Breast Reduction Procedure
This procedure is often performed in a way that is similar to a breast lift. The main difference between the procedures is the amount of breast tissue and skin to be removed. There are various methods that exist for a breast reduction; some of the more popular include an anchor-shaped incision (which goes around the areola, descends vertically, and proceeds under the natural curve of the breast) and the lollipop method (which encompasses the areola and descends down the breast vertically). The latter method is an option for women who need less skin and tissue removed.
Recovery
While some patients may experience soreness for a few days following the procedure, most do not find this to be problematic. Strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks following your surgery, as your breasts will still be healing and recovering. By following specific instructions from Dr. Devlin after your breast reduction, you will help ensure a quick recovery.
