Breast Reduction Miami, FL | Stephan Baker Plastic Surgery

The weight of large breasts can create pressure on the spine, which can lead to chronic back and neck pain. Discomfort caused by heavy breasts can impact the type of activities you feel comfortable performing. Running, swimming, and yoga are just some of the things you may avoid if you have large breasts. Reducing the weight of your breasts can provide you with the relief you need from your chronic pain.

Overly large breasts can lose their attractive shape and result in unwanted ptosis. During a breast reduction, Dr. Baker will shape the breasts to give them better definition and improve their position on the chest. This process can create a more proportional breast size, which creates a more attractive appearance.

Cumbersome breasts can limit your clothing choices. Many women with breasts that are too large feel they have to limit their clothing options out of modesty or for comfort. By improving the size and shape of your breasts, you will find that tops fit better. Your breasts now subtly enhance your appearance rather than overwhelm it.

Breast Reduction Options in Miami, FL

Incisions

An incision is created around the outer edge of each areola and vertically down the lower breast tissue. Another incision runs along each breast fold.
Through these incisions, droopy and excess breast skin and fat are removed, which works to reshape the breasts.
While these incisions may leave some visible scarring, most women feel that the overall improvement in their breast appearance is worth the temporary scarring.

Breast Lift Techniques

You may find that your large breasts also have some degree of sagging to them.
During the reshaping process, Dr. Baker utilizes breast lift techniques to position the breasts higher on the chest.
A breast lift can provide you with more attractive breasts and longer-lasting results.

Areola Resizing

Women with large breasts may also have enlarged areolas.
When improving the size of the breasts, the areolas should also be addressed to maintain a natural and balanced appearance.
The size and position of the areolas can be improved during your breast reduction.

Immediately following your surgery, you will feel groggy from the anesthesia, and your newly shaped breasts might feel uncomfortable. You will experience bruising, redness, and swelling that will last between two and four weeks. Throughout your recovery, you should wear a specialty support bra. In the initial weeks following your surgery, you should avoid strenuous physical activities, especially anything that applies pressure to the chest. Depending on the level of activity their job involves, most of our Breast Reduction patients can return to work within two weeks. You may be able to resume your regular exercise routine after three to four weeks with your doctor’s permission.

Dr. Baker utilizes scar minimizing techniques, but some women will still develop visible scarring. However, most scarring fades significantly over time.

The exact cost of breast reduction surgery depends on a number of variables. Techniques required, facility/anesthesia fees, the number of follow-up visits, and geographic location all impact cost. Dr. Baker will provide you with a customized estimate during your consultation at the office Miami.

There may be some postoperative pain, but many patients say it lasts only three to four days following their procedure. All pain is controlled using oral medication prescribed by your surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Reduction

Will I lose nipple sensitivity following my breast reduction surgery?

Some of our Breast Reduction patients report decreased sensitivity in their nipples for a few weeks after their surgery, but nipple sensation will eventually return.

Can breast reduction impact my ability to breastfeed?

Your nipple-areola complex always remains attached during your procedure. It is thus unlikely that you will have difficulty with nursing in the future. Discuss your concerns with Dr. Baker during your consultation.

Can a breast reduction improve asymmetrical breasts?

Yes. During your breast reduction, Dr. Baker will remove tissue and reshape the breasts to ensure they are similar in size and position for a symmetrical look.
