ABOUT BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY​

Abnormally large breasts can create social, functional, and physical concerns for women. Furthermore, uneven and very large breasts can lead to self-confidence issues and overall embarrassment, as well as aches and pains. Dr. F. Jorge Gonzalez is a plastic surgeon in Orlando, FL who continues to help countless women get back their confidence and feel more comfortable through surgical breast reduction. This aesthetic surgery at Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery removes excess breast fat and skin, as well as unhealthy tissue to redefine and reshape the breasts to a more compatible size. Breast reduction surgery also reshapes the size of the nipples/areolas and moves them so they are symmetrical with the new size. In most situations, a breast lift can be implemented to produce a more taut and younger-looking appearance. To learn more, call our office in Orlando, FL. We will be happy to sit down with you to determine if this procedure is right for you.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

If you are challenged with excessively large breasts that create obstacles in your everyday life, cosmetic breast reduction may be what you need to get the figure you desire. Breast reduction is helpful for women who experience emotional stress or find it difficult to live a fulfilled and active life because of the weight of their breasts. If you also deal with consistent skin problems (as well as back or neck pain), breast reduction surgery can eliminate these medical conditions. It’s crucial patients are at a normal weight and choose a trained surgeon, like Dr. Gonzalez, who listens to their desired outcome and has the aptitude to create a pleasing and natural appearance.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Surgical breast reduction is an outpatient process and is conducted with the patient under general anesthesia. The timing of surgery depends on several factors, including the complexity of the incision, the general reduction technique, and finally, how much reduction is required. The areola and nipple repositioning is also a factor. For most patients, liposuction is necessary for fat and tissue elimination to reduce the breast size. During the private consultation, all of these aspects are addressed with Dr. Gonzalez. Scarring is also scrupulously examined and talked through as it is likely to occur. However, surgical skill and advanced techniques have led to a noticeable reduction in the visibility of scarring. Based on the intricacy of the size and overall reduction, either an inverted-T or a straight line (vertical) incision will be incorporated. Breast fat and tissue will then be removed, and the existing skin and tissue will be pulled tight and secured.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Once surgery has been completed, you will be monitored closely in our comfortable recovery facility and then discharged home to begin the healing process. A small, tube-like draining device is usually inserted near the incision area to reduce bleeding and swelling. A compression bra will be put in place for a few days that will boost blood circulation to the breasts during the immediate recovery. In a month or so, the breasts will position themselves and settle, and the post-surgery effects will diminish. The vast selection of our patients at Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery say they feel lighter, relieved, and more reassured. Following surgical breast reduction, you can enjoy the clothes you could not wear before and feel enthusiastic about your new shape. Keep in mind, it is important to maintain a healthy body weight to maintain optimal results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does breast reduction surgery cost?
Your cost for breast reduction surgery can be reviewed with Dr. Gonzalez in your consultation. When he has created your treatment plan, it is easier to calculate your costs, including facility fees, anesthesia, and more. Reduction surgery usually leads to a dramatic improvement in all aspects of life, which is why our staff will help you find low-interest financing to make your treatment easy to afford. We will also help you talk to your insurance provider to see if your policy covers some of your expenses.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction?
Your health insurance might pay part of the cost of your surgery if it’s considered medically necessary. If you want to use your insurance, talk to Dr. Gonzalez so he can help with your claim. You should contact your provider to find out if your policy might pay for the surgery and the information they need. Your insurance might need measurements, like your weight, height, body surface area, and body mass index (BMI).

Will my nipples be moved?
Usually, the nipples and areola will be moved up to a central position during breast reduction surgery. If a significant amount of tissue and skin needs to be removed, your nipple-areola may be cut out and moved. Dr. Gonzalez will select an incision technique so the nipple and areola are easy to move higher. It’s also possible to perform an areolatome to reduce the size of the areolas. Your options will be explained in your consultation before Dr. Gonzalez helps you choose the best plan to meet your goals.

Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Reduction surgery can affect breastfeeding. Although some women can still breastfeed after a surgical reduction, other women cannot. It’s difficult to know whether your breast reduction will interfere with breastfeeding. This is why Dr. Gonzalez suggests that patients be done with breastfeeding before considering breast reduction surgery.

Can my breasts regrow after surgery?
Following reduction surgery, your breasts may get smaller or bigger with dramatic weight changes. This is why it is better to be at a healthy weight prior to your surgery that you can easily maintain. In your consultation, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss the best ways to prepare for your reduction and what you can do afterward to help make sure your results last.
