Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
What to expect during your consultation
The success and safety of your breast reduction procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You'll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.
Be prepared to discuss:
Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
Previous surgeries
Family history of breast cancer and results of any mammograms or previous biopsies
Your surgeon may also:
Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
Examine your breasts, and may take detailed measurements of their size and shape, skin quality, placement of your nipples and areolas
Take photographs for your medical record
Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
Discuss likely outcomes of breast reduction and any risks or potential complications
Discuss the use of anesthesia during your breast reduction
