How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed? is an important question for any woman considering breast enhancement. This type of procedure can take anywhere from three to five hours. During this procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the breast along the nipple and downward. They will then remove excess tissue and fat from the breast. If necessary, drainage tubes will be placed in the breast to drain the fluid. The incision is closed with sutures and a surgical bra.

The procedure will take place under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will measure your breasts and take pictures of them before beginning the operation. During the procedure, you will be given information about preparation for the surgery, recovery, and complications. Your surgeon may also perform a mammogram or a breast exam to ensure that your surgery will be successful. Following the surgery, you will have a follow-up appointment for a mammogram to determine the extent of your surgery.

After the surgery, you will have to stay home for two weeks. You should not perform strenuous physical activity for at least a week. Heavy lifting and driving will also be off-limits until you have fully recovered. Although breast reduction surgery is often challenging, the results are usually very satisfying. The Laurel Cosmetic Center is one of the best places to get the procedure done. There are two surgeons in our area and they are both experienced and trained in this procedure.

People may experience minor complications after breast reduction surgery, such as:

open wounds or slow healing of the incisions

excess fluid in the breast tissue

cellulitis, or infection of the connective tissue

loss of sensation in the nipples or breasts

asymmetric appearance of the breasts or nipples

prominent or thickened scars

allergic reactions to anesthesia or other medications

Smoking can increase the risk of complications and delay the healing process. People who have obesity may also have a higher risk of postoperative complications.
