Breast Reduction in Tucson, AZ

Breast reduction, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure aimed at alleviating the discomfort and aesthetic concerns associated with overly large breasts. 
By eliminating excess breast tissue, and skin, the breast reduction can help you achieve a breast size proportionately with your body, enhancing your overall physical appearance and comfort. The procedure starts with anesthesia, followed by the use of an anchor-shaped incision for breast tissue and skin removal. Our board-certified plastic surgeon excises the required tissue and elevates the nipple-areola complex to a more natural position, possibly reducing the areola size. Breast reduction surgery not only significantly boosts self-esteem and enhances overall quality of life but also results in firmer breasts for many women.

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, aims to remove excess breast 
fat, glandular tissue, and skin, creating a breast size that’s harmonious with your body 
and relieving the discomfort linked to excessively large breasts. This procedure not only seeks to alleviate physical symptoms like back, shoulder, and neck pain, skin irritation, and posture issues caused by the heavy weight of large breasts but also enhances body proportion, resulting in a more balanced and visually appealing figure. Breast reduction focuses on achieving these primary goals, ensuring a significant improvement in both comfort and aesthetics.

Breast reduction effectively alleviates chronic pain, enhances psychological health, increases self-confidence, and widens clothing choices. By achieving a proportionate breast size, you can experience improved participation in physical activities, leading 
to a more active and healthier lifestyle. Overall, breast reduction seeks 
to enhance your quality of life if you suffer from the physical and emotional burdens 
of having large, disproportionate breasts.

Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast Reduction Procedure

Our breast reduction procedure begins with a thorough consultation with 
our board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will assess your overall health and medical history and physically examine your breasts. You’ll discuss your desired outcomes, and our plastic surgeon will explain what breast reduction can realistically achieve. This is also the time to address any questions 
or concerns about the procedure.

The Procedure

Anesthesia

Breast reduction takes place under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical center, guaranteeing your comfort and a pain-free experience during the operation.

Incision

The anchor incision technique is exclusively used and tailored to remove substantial breast tissue and comprehensively reshape the breast. This method involves an anchor-shaped cut encompassing the areola, extending vertically down, and running along the breast crease.

Tissue Removal

The surgery removes excess breast tissue, unwanted fat, and skin to decrease breast size. Our surgeon then reshapes the remaining underlying breast tissue, and the nipple-areola complex might be lifted to a more aesthetically pleasing position.

Closure

The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, typically in layers, to support the newly shaped breasts. Drains might be inserted to eliminate excess fluids, and bandages or a surgical bra are applied to support the healing process.

Add-on Procedures Available

A breast lift can be seamlessly integrated with other cosmetic procedures 
to elevate overall body aesthetics. Breast augmentation is often combined 
to add fullness to the upper part of the breasts, although it is typically less common to those seeking to reduce their breast size. Liposuction is another complementary procedure that harmonizes body contours, focusing on areas like the bra roll to achieve a more refined silhouette in conjunction 
with primary breast reduction surgery. Additionally, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) works well with breast reduction, smoothing 
and firming the abdominal area to create a more visually appealing figure.

Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery provides numerous benefits, significantly enhancing life quality by:
Alleviating Physical Discomfort
Expanding Clothing Options
Boosting Self-Confidence
Providing Long-Lasting Results
Offering Aesthetic Improvements
Improving Mobility and Physical Activity

Breast Reduction Recovery Process

Following breast reduction surgery, immediate post-operative care involves applying dressings and bandages around the incisions and possibly drains to remove excess fluids and minimize swelling. These drains typically remain in place for a few days, emphasizing the importance of adhering to your surgeon’s guidance on caring for surgical sites and managing medications to aid healing and prevent infection.

The Initial Recovery Phase

The initial recovery phase demands rest, with most patients encouraged to take at least a week off from work and refrain from strenuous activities to facilitate healing.
The recovery timeline spans from the first week, where rest is vital, and activities are limited, extending through the first month as you gradually resume light activities under medical advice.
By one to three months, significant improvement in swelling and the contour of your breasts becomes evident, allowing for a return to more vigorous activities as approved by your surgeon.
Pain and discomfort during this period can be managed through prescribed medications, wearing recommended support garments, and gently modifying activities to avoid strain on the healing tissues. Prioritizing hydration, nutrition, and proper rest supports 
a smoother recovery, with complete healing and final results typically manifesting between six months to one year post-surgery.
