Do I Qualify for Breast Reduction?

At Elite Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Rozbeh and Radbeh Torabi will begin your journey with a private consultation for breast reduction surgery to review your medical history and see if you would benefit from this procedure. We will do our best to explain your options for breast reduction surgery, discuss the risks and benefits, and answer any questions you may have regarding this procedure.

Breast reduction is appropriate if you experience:

  • Disproportionately large breasts to the body
  • Painfully heavy breasts
  • Bra strap grooves in your shoulders
  • Limitations on activity
  • A slumped posture
  • The desire to reduce the size of your breasts

The Surgical Procedure

Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical center or a local hospital. Dr. Torabi will make pre-operative marks on your breasts before the surgery to indicate the incision areas, which typically run around the areola and down to your breast crease. The incisions will vary depending on the shape and size of your breasts, how much tissue is going to be removed, and your personal aesthetic goals.

This procedure can take around two to three hours to complete, depending on the amount of breast tissue that is going to be removed. Following the procedure, your surgeon will apply a firm bandage that will help to decrease any swelling and provide a level of comfort during the recovery period.

    Getting Back to Normal

    After your breast reduction or breast reduction revision is complete, you will be encouraged to remain upright, as this will help ease any discomfort and further decrease potential swelling. Most surgeries will require the placement of drains to remove any excess swelling and fluid that can accumulate in the area during the procedure.

    We’ll provide you with a very clear set of aftercare instructions and will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that you’re healing properly and comfortably. You’ll need to carefully dress and monitor the healing of your incisions for one to two weeks after the procedure. The incisions can sometimes take six to eight weeks to heal completely.

    Scarring can be significant after a breast reduction treatment. In most cases, it will heal without concern, though some patients may be left with a permanent raised and lumpy area of scarring along the incision line. Wound healing may take longer with larger breasts, and dressings will be required in the area until the healing process is fully complete.

    We treat our patients like family at Elite Plastic Surgery. When you visit our practice, you’ll work alongside a dedicated team of aesthetic experts who will offer you a guiding hand on your life-affirming cosmetic journey. Read what our patients have had to say, in their own words.
