Living with large breasts isn’t always easy. Sometimes, they can get in the way of living an active life, making exercise difficult. They can also cause pain and fatigue due to the sheer weight of carrying them around every day.
Dr. Tenley Lawton offers breast reduction surgery to alleviate these concerns. This procedure helps to make living in your body more comfortable and can contribute to higher self-worth and a more active lifestyle.
A breast reduction is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue from the breasts, allowing them to be reduced. Patients who see the best results have fully-developed breasts and are no longer breastfeeding or pregnant.
There are several signs that you may be a good candidate for breast reduction:
Many patients seeking breast reduction have chronic pain. When breasts are too heavy, they can put excessive pressure on other tissues in the body, particularly the upper back and neck. Over time, this can cause damage and generate long-term pain conditions.
Breasts themselves can also become painful if they become unmanageably large. Some patients, for instance, can experience friction burns or a sensation of excessive fullness and pressure in the breast tissue. So reducing them can help alleviate multiple sources of pain.
Even if you have no pain in your breasts, their large size may still adversely affect you. Breasts that sag, hang or look “pendulous” could lead to lower levels of self-confidence.
Breast reduction lets you both reduce the size of your breasts and improve their shape. Dr. Lawton can ensure that they appear more symmetrical and reduce the size of the nipple.
Please note that you do not have to have a specifical health or medical complaint to get a breast reduction. Cosmetic motivations are a sufficient and valid reason for undergoing this procedure.
Lastly, good candidates for breast reduction should be in good health overall. You should not currently be pregnant or breastfeeding. And you should be a non-smoker.
If you can’t give up smoking long-term, you should try to quit both before surgery and during recovery. This way, you will give your body the maximum opportunity to heal. If you don’t stop smoking, it may increase the chance of complications.
