While plastic surgery receives increased coverage in the media, certain types of cosmetic procedures still get more attention than others. Breast procedures remain some of the foremost procedures performed in the US, and breast reduction surgery is gaining notice and popularity. Too Large Breasts as a Medical Condition Breast reduction surgery, which is often paired with a breast lift, offers women with more breast tissue than they would like the opportunity for a more proportional figure. Breast reduction surgery is often covered by insurance if it is to treat a medical condition, such as:
• Lower back pain
• Shoulder and neck pain
• Shoulder indents from bra straps
• Discomfort during athletic activities
• Skin irritation under breasts
Many women who suffer from one of these symptoms of having breasts that are too large suffer from all of them. Some women with very large breasts even suffer from emotional trauma, and feel pressure from society to simply accept their physical condition, rather than seek breast reduction surgery. Breast Reduction Often Covered by Insurance Like many other cosmetic surgery procedures, breast reduction surgery can help you achieve the physical appearance you want, but even more importantly, it can help you feel comfortable with your own body. You may be interested in breast reduction surgery for several reasons:
• Too large breasts
• Sagging or low breasts
• Uneven breast size (one breast larger than the other)
• Change in breast shape after pregnancy
• Inability to reduce breast size even with diet and exercise
Breast reduction surgery may be performed after weight loss or pregnancy to return your breasts to their original size and shape, but it may negatively affect your ability to nurse. It may also help women with large breasts due to genetics achieve a breast size and shape that exercise and diet cannot achieve. Breast Reduction Procedure The breast reduction procedure consists of several steps:
• Decide the desired size and position, and discuss this choice with your plastic surgeon
• Make an incision around the part of the areola you would like to preserve
• Remove the excess breast fat and skin, usually in a triangular shape, from the underside of the breast
• Bring the remaining skin together, and close and sutre the incisions
Immediately after the surgery, you should plan on taking one to two weeks off from work, and you should avoid heavy lifting for as long as your plastic surgeon recommends. The recovery time from breast reduction surgery can be as much as six months and requires that you wear a supportive garment during the first several weeks. Some nipple sensitivity may be lost, though many patients regain sensitivity as the breasts heal.
