BREAST REDUCTION

 Very large, heavy breasts often require a breast reduction.  Many women feel that the excess weight of the breasts causes back and neck pain as well as soreness in the shoulder from bra straps cutting into the skin. Some insurance companies will cover this procedure, considering it medical rather than cosmetic.  You should check with your individual policy.

 In a traditional breast reduction, excess breast tissue is removed through  an incision similar to that used in an extensive breast lift, which involves making an incision around the areola, extending it down and around the lower crease of the breasts. This reshapes the breasts while lifting and reducing the size.

 In mild to moderate cases, “SAL” or suction-assisted lipectomy (liposuction removal) can be performed with less bleeding and a faster recovery than with traditional methods.   While it does reduce breast volume, it does not reshape or lift the breasts to any extent, and therefore, is usually accompanied by a breast lift.
