Breast Reduction

Our team at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic is proud to offer a complete range of sophisticated breast surgery procedures, including breast reduction. This treatment was developed to help women with overly large breasts achieve a more proportionate breast size. In addition to improving a woman’s appearance, breast reduction can also help alleviate chronic back and shoulder pain caused by very heavy breasts. As a result, most of our Toronto breast reduction patients are highly satisfied with their breast reduction results. Explore the paragraphs below to learn more about breast reduction surgery.

Breast Reduction in Toronto: Am I a Candidate?

You might be a breast reduction candidate if you are a woman with fully developed breasts that are disproportionately large for your body frame. Excessively heavy breasts can put pressure on the back and shoulders, which often leads to chronic back and shoulder pain as well as persistent headaches. Heavy breasts might also cause poor posture as women tend to slouch forward to relieve their back pain and try to make their breast size less conspicuous. The poor posture makes the back and shoulder pain worse, thus causing a vicious cycle of physical and psychological discomfort.

If you are troubled by any of these symptoms, schedule a personal consultation with us, to learn how breast reduction surgery can help you achieve a more harmonious appearance and better health.

Preparing for Your Breast Reduction Surgery

During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your body frame and breast size and ask questions about your general health history and aesthetic preferences. We will use this information to create an individualized treatment plan that will help you achieve an optimum breast size.

Breast Reduction Surgery: How Is It Performed?

Depending on each Toronto breast reduction patient’s skin elasticity, amount of redundant breast tissue and personal preferences, we can use one of several breast reduction methods. The more common approaches to breast reduction are:

• Liposuction-Only

  This method is appropriate for patients who wish to remove a relatively small amount of breast tissue. During this surgery, only liposuction is performed, and no large incisions are created.

• Keyhole Technique

  This approach is often recommended for patients who wish to remove a moderate to large amount of excess breast tissue. This technique involves a keyhole-shaped incision that is used to reshape the breast.

• Vertical and Horizontal Techniques

  These approaches involve incisions under and across the breasts. The incisions can be placed in various locations and can be horizontal or vertical.

• Free Nipple Graft Technique

  This technique might be the best for those patients who wish to achieve a higher, more youthful nipple position.
