Why Breast Reduction?
Breast size is largely genetic. Many women do not like the appearance of their large breasts because it is hard to find clothes that fit well, and their large breasts makes their body look heavier. Some of these women also suffer from physical symptoms, such as neck and back pain, shoulder grooving, or headaches. Whether the issue is cosmetic, functional, or both, a breast reduction surgery can help lift and reduce the size of the breasts. This is truly a life changing operation for most patients, relieving their symptoms and allowing them to feel more confident about themselves.
What Conditions Can Breast Reduction Treat?
- Macromastia (large breasts)
- Breast Ptosis (large, droopy breasts)
- Breast Asymmetry (one large breast)
What Can You Expect Before Breast Reduction Surgery?
Dr. Stein will take meticulous measurements during your consultation and draw markings on your chest the morning of surgery to place the nipple in an optimal position. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions you like to help you feel comfortable and confident about the process. After surgery, you will meet with Dr. Stein regularly so he can make sure your breasts are healing appropriately and that you are recovering well. Dr. Stein is well-known for his excellence in patient care and will be by your side every step of the way.
What Is the Recovery Like for Breast Reduction Surgery?
Recovery is patient specific. Most patients take Tylenol and Advil alone after surgery and are pain free after a couple days. You can shower over your incisions 2 days after surgery and resume your normal activities shortly thereafter. Exercise can start 3-4 weeks after surgery once Dr. Stein confirms that your scars are healing well. The breast shape improves with time and the incisions will take time to flatten and fade.
What Is the Cost of Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast Reduction in NYC at Stein Plastic Surgery ranges from $12,000 to $20,000.
