Breast Reduction Charlotte

What is Breast Reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is often used for patients who are looking to address aesthetic or physical concerns caused by excessive breast size.

This procedure can enhance the shape of the breasts and provide proportion while also correcting uncomfortable physical symptoms. During the surgery, excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed to sculpt a more balanced, physically compatible breast size for your body type. In addition, nipple position and symmetry can be corrected for an overall improved appearance. The outcome of breast reduction surgery is not just a more aesthetically pleasing contour but also a substantial improvement in physical comfort and quality of life.

Breast Reduction vs. Breast Lift

In most cases, a breast reduction does include what would be considered a lift because once fat and tissue are removed, they are repositioned into an ideal shape with optimal lift. This would not be the case if only liposuction is used in a reduction, but this is not a common method. In contrast, a breast lift only involves manipulation, repositioning, and lifting of the tissue and fat. Although a small amount of sagging skin might be removed, no other reduction happens during a breast lift.

What can Breast Reduction do for me?

If you struggle with overly large breasts, or macromastia, you understand the variety of challenges and inconveniences it can carry with it. Ongoing aches and pains or irritated skin are common issues related to large breasts, and these can be resolved. For many, breast reduction surgery might be life-changing and greatly impact even day-to-day tasks such as exercising or getting dressed. Undergoing breast reduction surgery can:

  • End uncomfortable and painful physical issues such as back and neck pain or skin rashes.
  • Improve confidence and avoid embarrassment due to oversized, uneven, or disproportionate breasts.
  • Open up options for clothing and swimsuit styles.
  • Allow patients to participate in activities like running or jogging without needing overly tight or multiple sports bras.

Is Breast Reduction right for me?

Those who are healthy enough to undergo surgery and understand the reasonable outcomes of this procedure are likely good candidates. There is no optimal age, however, breasts must be fully developed, which usually occurs around age 18. While many women are still able to breastfeed after this procedure, there is a chance with any breast surgery that it may be more challenging or not possible, so we encourage those who may be planning on breastfeeding in the future to carefully consider waiting on this procedure. Our Charlotte reduction mammaplasty patients are typically dealing with:

  • Heavy, sagging breasts
  • Downward pointing areolas or large areolas
  • Pain and irritation in the shoulders from bra straps
  • Inability to participate in certain physical activities
  • Repeated appointments to doctors and chiropractors or frequent use of painkillers due to shoulder, neck, and back pain

Consultation and Preparation

Your personalized consultation will include an exam, a detailed discussion about your medical history, and time for us to get to know your particular aesthetic and health goals. Any surgery is a big decision, and our team wants to keep you fully informed and educated on all of your options to ensure the best possible outcomes. We will put together your customized surgical plan and be sure to work with you on each step. There are several things we will ask you to do to prepare for surgery, including adjusting or pausing certain medications. You may also need to get lab work done prior to the procedure.

Dr. Ferrari | Breast Reduction Surgeon

Procedure

The type of incision used during your surgery will depend on your anatomy and the size, position, and shape of your breasts. As part of your treatment plan, Dr. Ferrari may opt for a periareolar breast reduction, a vertical breast reduction, or a Wise pattern breast reduction. With any of these incisions, the predetermined amount of tissue, fat, and skin will be removed, and the breasts will be sculpted and lifted to an ideal position. In nearly every case, the nipple stays attached to improve intact sensation post-surgery. Once the nipple and areola are placed, incisions will be delicately sutured closed to remain as discreet as possible.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Following a breast reduction Charlotte patients will be in recovery for a brief period. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for about 24 hours until the anesthesia wears off. Breast reduction surgery recovery typically takes about two to three weeks, and proper healing is very important for the best outcomes. You should follow all instructions provided by your surgeon for post-op care. While there will be noticeable immediate results, it may take six months to a year for your breasts to settle and for the final result to become fully visible.
