| Dr. P. Dudley Giles is a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Here the doctor has answered some common questions that Bizymoms visitors have about Breast Reduction.
Q. What is breast reduction surgery?
A. Breast reduction is a procedure designed to lift and reduce the breast taking stress off the upper back and shoulders. It is an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia and takes about 90 minutes to perform. Often times we can get it covered by health insurance.
Q. Who is a good candidate for a breast reduction?
A. Any woman who wishes a smaller, lighter, higher breast and wants the weight off the shoulders is a good candidate.
Q. What are the benefits of breast reduction surgery?
A. Breast reduction is one of the most satisfying procedures we perform. Women most often notice the weight off the shoulders, fewer rashes under the breast, improvement in shoulder grooving from the bra straps, improvements in tension headaches, and a positive change in appearance.
Q. What are the risks associated with breast reduction surgery?
A. The risk of breast reduction surgery is mostly that of any procedure bleeding and infection. Though these are very rare the most serious complications are loss of nipple sensation, inability to breast feed in the future and possible poor scar quality.
