Breast Reduction in Young Patients

POSTED ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2019 AT 11:32 AM  by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Younger patients can undergo breast reduction surgery—also known as reduction mammoplasty—to reshape overly-large breasts, enhance overall body symmetry, and alleviate physical symptoms associated with large breasts. Breast reduction for the younger patient demographic requires a very meticulous skill-set. Pre-surgical planning and introspective techniques are of the utmost importance to guarantee perfected results! Dr. Asaadi stresses that surgery must be able to sculpt the breasts with such precision that future augmentation is unnecessary. Learn more about the benefits of breast reduction surgery below!

Why Breast Reduction?

Large breasts on young women, especially those who have a small frame, may wish to reduce them due to physical burdens or cosmetic interests. Supporting the weight of breasts can cause chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain. Large breasts can also lead to chaffing or skin irritation on the underside of the breasts, lead to difficulty in exercising, as well as cause breathing problems.

Along with the physical burdens, breast reduction surgery can increase body self-confidence. Breast reduction can reshape breasts into a size and shape that is more comfortable for you and your frame.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Reduction mammoplasty is a procedure that can remove excess fat and tissue from your breasts. Once the excess fat is removed, any extra skin is also removed to contour the breasts and enhance symmetry. The pedicle technique is used in the procedure, which entails repositioning the nipple and areola higher up on each breast to achieve natural-looking results. Dr. Asaadi takes great care in ensuring the breasts are perfectly shaped with very minimal scarring, while preserving circulation and sensation of the nipple and areolas.
