Breast Reduction in Saint Clair Shores
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the breasts to make them smaller, lighter, and firmer. The procedure involves removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Large breasts can cause physical discomfort, as well as emotional and social concerns. Many women who undergo breast reduction experience relief from pain and improved quality of life, along with a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
Reasons for Considering Breast Reduction in Michigan:
General procedure
Breast reduction techniques may vary, but the most common method involves an incision around the areola, extending down and following the natural curve beneath the breast. Dr. Rodriguez removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin. The nipple and areola are then repositioned to a higher position using absorbable stitches.
Afterward, small steri-strips are applied to the incisions, and a surgical bra is placed for support. The optimal technique is determined during the initial consultation with Dr. Daniela Rodriguez. Patients often experience relief from physical discomfort, improved body proportions, enhanced appearance, and better-fitting clothes.Recovery Process
Post-operative instructions typically recommend ample rest and limited movement to accelerate healing and reduce recovery time. A surgical bra should be worn for a few weeks. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with oral medication. Although complications are rare, following post-surgery instructions carefully will help minimize potential issues and ensure a smooth recovery.
