Breast Reduction

Description

Breast reduction surgery can completely change your life if heavy breasts cause you pain or embarrassment. As Dr. Hermann describes, it’s a joy to see the immediate relief women feel from breast reduction. This procedure includes lifting and reshaping, and carries some of the highest satisfaction rates of any plastic surgery.

Breast reduction surgery is one of my absolute favorite surgeries. The reason for that is because of all plastic surgeries, breast reduction carries one of the absolute highest satisfaction rates. If your breasts are large, and it's causing you discomfort in your neck, your shoulders, and your back, and you have breast reduction surgery, your relief is going to be immediate. Also, another reason that people really love these surgeries is because the breasts always look better after a reduction, because part of doing a breast reduction is lifting and reshaping the breasts. You have a surgery that makes people feel relief right away, that makes their breasts look better, and also has a pretty easy recovery with a low risk rate, and it's no wonder that breast reduction surgery is one of the highest satisfaction surgeries. I personally like doing because there's a lot of artistry in it. As I said, part of this surgery is reshaping the breast, and in doing that, you're using your artistic abilities to make something look great, which I really enjoy. As far as picking a breast reduction surgeon, if there's one thing I could tell people, it would be to make sure that you find a breast reduction surgeon that uses a short scar breast reduction because there are now two distinct ways that breast reduction surgeries are done. The classic anchor or Wise-pattern breast reduction, which has been done for almost 100 years, is still very prevalent. But the newer technology, short scar breast reductions, can accomplish the same surgery, but through a much smaller scar, which is not only good for aesthetics, but it also decreases one of the biggest risks of breast reduction surgery, which is healing along the large incisions associated with the older style method. So if you're thinking about having a breast reduction, I can't stress this enough, you have to find somebody like myself who does short scar breast reductions. They are just flat out a better option than the old classic way of doing them. As far as who's a great candidate? Well, that could be pretty much anyone these days. You don't have to have H-size breasts to get benefits from a breast reduction surgery. I've had people that are as small as a large D or small double D that want to get breast reduction surgery and are very happy with those results. Of course, the larger the breasts are, the more dramatic the result will be. But I'd say anyone who's a large D or larger could potentially be a candidate for breast reduction surgery, depending on what they want. Do they want to be a mid-C breast because they're a very active person? Then they may be very happy with breast reduction surgery even if they are not having giant breasts.
