Is breast reduction surgery the right procedure for me?

6th April 2023

There are several reasons why women elect to have breast reduction surgery.

The weight and expansion of your breasts may cause physical symptoms like neck and back pain. Moreover, bra straps may dig into your shoulders and leave ridges where they once were. The furrow beneath your breasts may also become red, swollen, and uncomfortable from the friction of your skin against one another.

Sometimes having large breasts may limit your ability to exercise and make it difficult for many women to perform the types of exercises they would like to. As a result, you might not be able to regulate your weight through exercise.

Some women are self-conscious about the size of their breasts and fear attracting unwanted attention. This makes it difficult to choose clothing and enjoy vacations. There may on occasion be a desire for a greater balance between the size of your breasts and the rest of your body.

What qualifies me to have breast reduction surgery?

If you are above 18, generally in good health, not fat, and a nonsmoker, you are an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. An alternative technique may be necessary if a lady who requests breast reduction surgery is not a good candidate (such as a breast uplift). During your appointment, the surgeon will determine whether breast reduction surgery is a good option for you.

What topics will be covered during my consultation?

Dr Kian always take the time to learn about your objectives and worries.

The following will be methodically evaluated throughout the examination, and standard clinical pictures will be obtained for your medical file:

  • chest wall and breast measures
  • Asymmetry prior to surgery
  • anomalies of the chest wall
  • skin quality and thickness

How big of a cup will I be following a breast reduction?

Dr Kian’s objective is to create results that appear natural. The size of your breasts will ultimately depend on the dimensions of your body’s frame and chest wall that are taken during the consultation.

The size of your breasts and the rest of your body will typically be better balanced by me. Although post-operative cup sizes can never be guaranteed, it is helpful to discuss with you at the consultation what cup size you would like to have after the procedure to get a sense of your expectations.
