Could You Benefit From Breast Reduction?

02 Oct Could You Benefit From Breast Reduction?

When most people think of plastic surgery, the common assumption is that these operations are done purely for aesthetic reasons. However, that is not the case. Here at Bourhill Plastic Surgery, our team performs various operations that help to benefit the health and wellbeing of patients in need. One of our most performed procedures is breast reduction, which has many benefits unrelated to aesthetics.

What Is A Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is precisely what the name would suggest. Our plastic surgeon will remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breast during this procedure to the overall size of the breasts. If medically necessary, teenagers can even undergo this operation to improve their future quality of life. 

Why Are Breast Reductions Performed?

There are many reasons women seek to undergo this operation every year. For some, getting a breast reduction helps boost their self-esteem and self-image. For others, it’s because their breasts have been causing a plethora of medical issues. If you find yourself dealing with any of the below, a breast reduction could be the answer:

• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain.
• Chronic skin irritation under the breasts.
• Nerve damage.
• Restricted activity level.

The Benefits Of Breast Reduction

While this is a relatively safe procedure, it’s important to remember that there will be a recovery period following the operation. You should expect your breasts to be swollen, sensitive, and tender for a few days to weeks after the surgery while they heal. However, the benefits of a breast reduction can far outweigh this. Some of the many benefits associate with this procedure include:

• Reduced or eliminated chronic pain.
• Improved confidence.
• Finding clothes that fit better and more comfortable.
• Completing activities you weren’t able to in the past.
