Breast Reduction

Patients who undergo breast reduction surgery are frequently seeking relief from unwanted physical stress, caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Many women find that breast reduction relieves chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Breast reduction can usually solve these problems, as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction, your breasts should be more proportional to the rest of your body, clothes will have a nicer fit, and you may enjoy a more active lifestyle. Dr. Andreasen is dedicated to helping his patients achieve their goals through breast reduction.

Breast reduction usually involves an anchor-shaped incision that circles the areola, extends downward, and follows the natural curve of the crease beneath the breast. Dr. Andreasen then removes excess glandular tissue, fat and skin, and moves the nipple and areola into the new position. Then the skin from both sides is brought down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. Breast reduction surgery does leave scars, although they will naturally be concealed with your bra or bathing suit.

If you elect breast reduction as the route to enhancing your appearance and improving your lifestyle, asking questions and discussing your concerns with a qualified cosmetic plastic surgeon is vital. Dr. Troy Andreasen is highly trained in breast surgery procedures, including breast reduction. He and his knowledgeable staff are committed to providing the highest quality of care to their patients.
