Many people want to find relief from back, neck, nerve, or shoulder pain caused by excessively large breasts, which can also cause skin rashes and poor posture. A breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, uses surgical excision to make your breasts smaller.
If the size of your breasts interferes with your daily life or makes you feel uncomfortable, you may want to consider a breast reduction in The Woodlands. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Olivier Deigni has spent more than a decade performing plastic surgery that helps patients increase their physical comfort and emotional well-being.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Deigni will discuss why you are interested in breast reduction surgery and what kind of results you can expect. This will allow you to have realistic expectations and help our team perform a procedure customized to your needs. Overall, breast reduction has one of the highest rates of satisfaction among patients. One study found that symptoms improved by 70 to 100% in breast reduction surgery patients.
Candidates for the procedure include people who experience back pain, shoulder grooves from their bra straps, difficulty participating in some activities, trouble finding bras or shirts that fit well, and poor self-image because of their breast size.
Breast reduction surgery in The Woodlands may not be a good fit for people who smoke, are very obese, or want to avoid scars on their breasts. Additionally, people who are planning to have children or lose large amounts of weight may want to hold off on the surgery.
From your first consultation to follow-up appointments, Dr. Deigni works to create a welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable discussing questions and concerns. He will also explain the surgical process so you know what to expect during treatment.
Dr. Deigni customizes breast reduction surgery for every patient. The procedure typically involves making an incision around the areola and nipple and down both breasts, removing breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the breast size, reshaping the breasts, and resetting the nipples and areolae.
Breast reduction surgery in The Woodlands is done under general anesthesia, and the procedure lasts two to four hours. You will be able to return home once the surgery is finished, but you should plan to have a friend or family member drive you.
During recovery, bruising, swelling, and tenderness are normal for the first week. You must wear a surgical support bra as your breasts heal and should plan on limiting physical activity for four to six weeks.
Dr. Deigni will discuss results with you during your pre-op appointment so you know what to expect and feel confident about the surgical process. Although swelling will likely continue for a few months, results will be visible immediately. Scars will fade over time but will not go away completely.
Large breasts can impact your life in many ways. If they are hindering you from certain activities or negatively affecting your self-confidence, Deigni Plastic Surgery can help.
Dr. Deigni will listen to what you hope to accomplish and create a treatment plan to help you achieve your ideal appearance. He also strives to create a comfortable atmosphere and welcomes all questions so those seeking a breast reduction in The Woodlands will feel confident with their decision.
