BREAST REDUCTION ARIZONA

Women who have large breasts may suffer from a number of related symptoms, such as back, neck and shoulder pain. Skin on skin contact may result in yeast and other infections under and between the breasts, shoulder grooving from bra straps and difficulty finding and wearing comfortable clothing. Selfconsciousness may lead to fewer social activities and a restricted lifestyle.

Surgery to reduce the size of the breasts is typically quite similar in principle to surgery for Breast Lifts, the difference being that, during a breast reduction, a portion of the breast tissue is removed in a curved, quartermoon-shaped segment, followed by reshaping of the remainder of the breast tissue and trimming and closure of the skin. Many women develop long and thinned out breasts which give only the appearance of being large when, in fact, they are excessive only in length and skin laxity, rather than in total size.

Thus, it can be said that all breast reduction surgeries will reduce breast size, reshape the breast mounds, trim down the excess skin laxity and elevate the nipples. The areolae may need to be reduced in diameter as well. Typically, breasts requiring this degree of intervention will exhibit asymmetry and deviation of the nipples as well. In expert hands, you may expect a series of very precise measurements to be made to assist your surgeon in preparation for your surgery; and, just prior to your procedure, markings will be placed as guidelines for this most exacting of breast surgeries.
