Breast Reduction Q & A

What is a breast reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can help your breasts look more proportionate to your body and reduce certain types of pain.

Large breasts are more than a cosmetic concern for many women. They can strain your neck, shoulders, and back, causing chronic pain. Large breasts may also make activities like running and playing sports uncomfortable.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Ayewah may recommend breast reduction to relieve discomfort and help you achieve a silhouette that aligns better with your aesthetic goals.

Who is a suitable candidate for breast reduction?

Breast reduction is a deeply personal surgical procedure. Physical discomfort and cosmetic preferences are both perfectly valid reasons for considering breast reduction. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

Experience back, neck, or shoulder pain from large breasts
Struggle to participate in physical activity due to breast size
Experience irritation from tight bra straps
Do not smoke or vape
Are in good health
Feel that your breasts are not proportionate to your body

Breast reduction surgery can be life-changing if having large breasts interferes with your daily life, restricts your clothing choices, or causes chronic pain.

How should I prepare for breast reduction?

Once you decide to move forward with breast reduction surgery, Dr. Ayewah can guide you through the preparation process. Presurgery instructions may include the following:

Quit smoking and using tobacco products
Avoid anti-inflammatory pain medications that cause blood thinning
Purchase surgical bras, gauze and wraps, and postsurgery supplies
Wear loose-fitting clothing
Coordinate care with friends or family

Dr. Ayewah provides personalized guidance before your procedure to ensure you’re prepared physically and emotionally for your upcoming breast reduction surgery.

Can I combine breast reduction with other procedures?

Dr. Ayewah can combine breast reduction surgery with many other cosmetic procedures. Many women undergoing this procedure combine it with a breast lift. This treatment involves lifting the breasts, removing excess skin, and repositioning the remaining tissue for a more lifted and youthful appearance.

Breast reduction surgery can also complement a mommy makeover, which often includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, and other procedures.
