Breast Reduction Danville
Reducing and lifting larger breasts can make a significant difference to the way a person feels and looks. Larger breasts place a chronic strain on the neck, back and shoulder over years and can lead to neck, back and shoulder pain, deep shoulder grooves from supportive bras and rashes under the breasts. In some cases, breast reductions can be covered under insurance plans as the medical benefits of a breast reduction in certain patients is tremendous. Reducing the weight of the breasts and restoring a normal anatomical position can dramatically change a person’s life and allow her to participate in exercise programs without neck and back strain.
Surgery is typically 2-3 hours and can either be done as an outpatient procedure or with an overnight stay depending on whether the patient has other medical conditions. The scars are limited with a vertical mammoplasty to a periareolar and a vertical component or “lollipop” incision rather than the traditional “anchor” incision. Scars will fade in most patients over 1-2 years to be barely noticeable. Relieve of neck and back pain is almost immediate and can open up a whole new life for the patient. Downtime is typically 1-2 weeks and small drains may be present for approximately a week. Exercise and lifting restrictions are 4-6 weeks.
