Having breasts that are out of proportion to your body can feel like a burden. Women with large breasts often opt for breast reduction to improve back issues and reduce irritation. If you struggle with these issues, our resident plastic surgeon, Dr. Alain Polynice, can help. Get in touch with our team in Santa Barbara, California, to learn more.
What Is Breast Reduction?
A mammaplasty, or “breast reduction,” is a procedure done to remove skin, fat, and glandular tissue from the breast. By removing excess tissue, the breast’s shape is improved, and the breast’s size is reduced. This provides both aesthetic improvements and relieves some of the neck, back, and shoulder pain that women with large breasts can struggle with.
How Is The Procedure Performed?
A typical breast reduction surgery takes roughly 2-3 hours to perform and involves different techniques. The exact procedure will depend on your specific needs. These can be discussed during your initial appointment with Dr. Polynice. During your visit, Dr. Polynice will walk you through your options and share recommendations. Your procedure will be personalized for you to ensure you get the optimal size and shape you desire.
