During breast reduction surgery, Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores will:
Make incisions around the areola and potentially down to the breast crease (depending on the extent of reduction).
Remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the overall size and weight of the breasts.
Reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural height.
Reshape the remaining breast tissue to achieve a firmer and more proportionate appearance.
Close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings to aid in the healing process.
The result is a smaller, lighter breast that is more proportionate to your body and offers relief from physical discomfort.
Our team is here to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.
After surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow for proper healing.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are women who:
The size of your breasts will depend on your desired outcome and how much tissue needs to be removed. Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores will work with you to achieve your ideal breast size.
Yes, many women experience improved posture after breast reduction surgery due to the reduction in weight and strain on the upper body.
In some cases, breast reduction may be covered by insurance if it is deemed medically necessary to relieve physical symptoms. Our office can help guide you through the insurance approval process.
Most patients can resume light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery, including returning to exercise, can take up to 6 weeks.
While some scarring is inevitable, Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores use advanced surgical techniques to minimize scars. Over time, scars will fade and become less noticeable.
Yes, many patients choose to combine breast reduction with other procedures such as a breast lift or liposuction to achieve their desired results.
While some patients may experience temporary changes in nipple sensation, most sensation returns over time. In rare cases, permanent loss of sensation may occur.
Breastfeeding may still be possible after a breast reduction, but there is a risk that the procedure could affect milk production. Discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon.
As with any surgery, breast reduction carries risks such as infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. Dr. Simmons and Dr. Flores will discuss these risks with you during your consultation.
While initial results are visible right after surgery, it may take several months for swelling to subside and the breasts to settle into their final shape.
