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.

What is a Breast Reduction?

A Reduction Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction) is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and volume of a woman’s breasts. By removing the excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, your provider, helps his patients achieve more proportionately balanced breasts in relation to their overall physical anatomy.

Whether you desire a more manageable breast size or wish to alleviate the physical and emotional burdens associated with large breasts, breast reduction can help you achieve your goals and enjoy a more comfortable and confident life.

Some of the more common reasons women choose to receive a breast reduction include:

  • Back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by the weight of their breasts
  • Breasts that are too large in proportion to the body frame
  • Get indentations in their shoulders from tight bra straps
  • Must restrict physical activity due to the size and weight of their breasts
  • One breast is larger than the other
  • Suffering from skin irritation beneath their breasts

Candidates
Who are the best candidates for the Breast Reduction procedure?

You might be a great Toronto Beast 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 breasts size less conspicuous. The poor posture makes the back and shoulder pain worse, thus causing a vicious cycle of physical and psychological discomfort.

Therefore, the best candidates usually have the following characteristics:

  • Are at a stable weight
  • Bothered by feeling their breasts are too large
  • Experiencing back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the excess weight
  • Have minimal excess skin
  • Get skin irritation beneath the breast crease
  • Lack of self-confidence caused by social pressures
  • Left with shoulder indentations from bra straps
  • Limited in their physical activity due to breast size
  • Maintain realistic expectations of reduction mammoplasty results
  • Nonsmoker
  • Overall physically healthy

What to expect on the day of Breast Reduction surgery

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.

Breast Reduction recovery

After the surgery is finished, you will be taken to a recovery area, where you will be closely monitored as you wake up from anesthesia. It is advised to bring someone to help take you home for maximum safety.

You can expect your breast reduction recovery to last several weeks, during which you may experience soreness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. These symptoms are completely normal and will gradually subside over time. You will be provided with some instructions on how to care for your incisions and manage any pain or discomfort.

It is essential to rest and avoid strenuous activities when you are recovering. You may also need to wear a special supportive bra to aid in healing and provide optimal support for your breasts; which will also be discussed in your consultation.
