Nature doesn’t always provide you with the perfect proportions. If you have large breasts which are causing you discomfort or making you self-conscious, you might want to consider breast reduction surgery. Our plastic surgeons can tell you more. The plastic surgeons at Ward Institute in Salt Lake City, and Cottonwood Heights, UT, offer comprehensive plastic surgery services, including breast reduction surgery.

What You Need To Know About a Breast Reduction

There are many reasons to consider breast reduction surgery. Consider that breast reduction surgery can:

• Make your breasts more symmetrical
• Reposition your nipples, making your breasts appear firmer
• Improve the shape and contour of your breasts
• Eliminate skin irritation caused by sagging breasts

Breast reduction surgery is performed under sedation by a plastic surgeon. During breast reduction surgery, incisions are made around your nipples. Excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed through the incisions. The incisions are then sutured closed.

After surgery, you may notice some swelling, bruising, and discomfort at first, which will resolve as you heal. For the first couple of weeks, you may need to take time off work and rest. The average length of recovery time is about six weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery, and on your individual characteristics.

After breast reduction surgery, you will enjoy many benefits, including:

• Relief of back, neck, and shoulder pain, so you feel an increased sense of wellness
• Improved body proportion, so you will look better in and out of clothing
• Enhanced ability to stay active, which will help you maintain a healthy weight
• Increased self-esteem, so you will feel better about yourself
• Increased self-confidence, knowing you look and feel better
