FAQ

What motivates patients to undergo breast reduction?

According to countless RealSelf testimonials, many patients pursue this surgery after years of discomfort and emotional distress. Common motivations include:

Chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain
Skin rashes and irritation under the breasts
Difficulty finding bras or clothing that fits
Unwanted attention or self-consciousness
Restricted physical activity

Many patients describe the procedure as “life-changing,” reporting not only physical relief but also improved self-esteem and confidence.

How is the procedure performed?

The surgeon removes excess breast tissue and skin and reshapes the breasts to a smaller, lifted contour. The nipples and areolas may also be repositioned higher on the breast mound. Common incision patterns include:

Anchor (Inverted-T): around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease
Vertical (Lollipop): around the areola and vertically down

Liposuction may also be used to remove fat from the armpit or side breast area.

What kind of results can I expect?

Most patients experience immediate relief from physical discomfort. The breasts are smaller, lighter, and more lifted. Patients often report:

Easier movement during exercise
Improved posture
Better fitting clothes

What do real patients say about the experience?

Many patients say the surgery exceeded their expectations.

Some were nervous about scars but were surprised how quickly they faded and how worthwhile the trade-off was.

Multiple patients described the emotional impact: “I wish I had done this years ago.”

Pain is usually described as moderate and manageable with medications.

What are the risks and complications?

While breast reduction is generally safe, potential risks include:

Bleeding or infection
Poor wound healing or scarring
Changes in nipple sensation (temporary or permanent)
Asymmetry
Loss of nipple or areola tissue (rare)

Smokers are at higher risk of complications. Quitting smoking well before surgery is essential for proper healing and minimizing complications.

Can I breastfeed after breast reduction?

It depends on the technique used. Some patients retain the ability to breastfeed, while others may not. Discuss your future family plans with your surgeon.

Will I need a revision surgery later?

While long-lasting, changes in weight, aging, and pregnancy can alter breast size and shape. Some patients may eventually seek revision to maintain contour or address minor concerns, but this is not common if the initial surgery was done well.

Who is a good candidate for breast reduction?

You may be a candidate if:

You’re physically healthy
You experience physical or emotional discomfort due to large breasts
You have realistic expectations
You are not a smoker or willing to quit

How should I care for my incisions after breast reduction surgery?

Proper wound care is essential for optimal healing and minimizing scars. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions, which typically include:

Keeping the area clean and dry for the first few days. Avoid soaking in baths or pools until cleared by your surgeon.
Wearing a surgical bra or compression garment as directed to support healing and reduce swelling.
Applying any prescribed ointments or dressings as recommended by your care team.
Avoiding smoking, which can severely impair healing and increase the risk of wound complications.
Monitoring for signs of infection, such as redness, unusual swelling, heat, discharge, or a fever.

Patients often report that closely following their surgeon’s care plan led to smooth healing and fading scars. When in doubt, always reach out to your surgical team promptly—early intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming serious.
