While other breast surgeries are considered elective and ineligible for insurance coverage, breast reduction is different. Many cases are deemed “medically necessary” because oversized breasts can cause chronic neck, back, shoulder pain, and other health concerns.
Breast reduction – or reduction mammoplasty – is a practical and popular plastic surgery procedure for large-breasted women who seek relief from chronic back pain, breathing problems, poor posture, and other health issues caused by enlarged breasts. For women who are unhappy about their appearance, breast reduction surgery can help patients regain confidence and enjoy a renewed self-image by creating a beautiful body contour more in proportion with their body size.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjay Lalla performs breast reduction procedures under general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Sanjay Lalla removes fat and glandular tissue from the breast while tightening skin to produce smaller breasts. The procedure takes two to four hours to complete, depending on the techniques used and each patient’s unique case.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction surgery are women with oversized breasts that cause medical problems, low self-esteem, or physical or social discomfort with the size of their breasts. Women must not be pregnant or breastfeeding while undergoing a breast reduction. Furthermore, ideal candidates also include women with fully developed breasts, non-smokers, and patients who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical condition. Breast reduction in New Jersey can also be performed on men suffering from gynecomastia, a condition that causes excess tissue to form in the pectoral areas.
There are several different types of incisions that breast reduction surgeons may use for this procedure.
After the breast reduction procedure, New Jersey patients will likely experience some soreness, swelling, and bruising for several days. Patients should limit physical activity for at least two weeks while avoiding more strenuous activity for at least four weeks post breast reduction surgery. Patients will return to the doctor to have stitches removed after approximately two to three weeks, at which point most will be able to return to work and other regular activities. The results of the breast reduction procedure are noticeable immediately after surgery and will continue to improve as the swelling and bruising subside. Scars from the breast reduction surgery will continue to fade with time over time.
