Often seen as the opposite of breast augmentations, breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure that involves a reduction in the size of the breasts by removing fat, glandular tissue and skin. Once the extra fat, tissue and skin have been removed, the breasts are then reshaped and moved to a higher position on the chest to make them look younger and firmer. Depending on the patient, the procedure to reduce breast size varies in some ways. What differs from person to person is the number and length of incisions that need to be made. These incisions can cause permanent and visible scarring.

This procedure typically takes about two to three hours and is usually an outpatient procedure. In some cases the cosmetic surgeon will have the patient stay in the clinic or hospital for overnight observation. These are typically the women who began the procedure with extremely big breasts and have had a large amount of skin, fat and tissue removed. Although this surgery is more commonly performed on women, it is also performed on men who have an abnormal development of mammary glands that can cause enlargement of the breasts.

Though there are many women who may not be bothered physically by large breasts, there are those who battle emotional discomfort because of their size. A large majority of women with this problem say they feel awkward that their breasts are not proportional to their smaller bodies. Many women even encounter social problems. These are just a few of the reasons why women opt to have breast reduction surgery.

Women who are considering having their breasts reduced should be completely aware of what the procedure entails; including the risks and complications that may occur. Bear in mind that no matter how many helpful resources you have investigated to learn more information about reducing breast size, there is no one way to do it. This type of surgery varies from one person to the next. It is best to go to a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. During your consultation, you will discuss all aspects of the operation and ask any questions you may have.

Breast reduction surgery can actually boost self-esteem, confidence and interpersonal relationships for some women, and a good cosmetic surgeon knows this. Body issues and specifically breast size issues can have a damaging effect on a woman’s overall image of themselves. That is why there have been so many new and innovative aesthetic plastic surgery procedures developed over the years; to address negative body image and help women gain new perspectives about their bodies.
