Discover the Beauty of Balance: Breast Reduction Explained

A breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and volume of overly large breasts. Women with disproportionately large breasts often experience physical discomfort, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as difficulties finding clothes that fit correctly. Emotionally, they may struggle with self-consciousness and limitations on physical activities.

For transgender and gender nonconforming patients, breast reduction surgery can also be essential in aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity, helping to alleviate gender dysphoria and improve overall quality of life.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

One of the primary benefits of breast reduction is the relief of physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Women with disproportionately large breasts often experience chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, which is significantly improved after the procedure.

Reducing the size and weight of the breasts can improve posture, as individuals no longer have to compensate for the extra weight on their chest.
With smaller and lighter breasts, individuals find it easier to engage in physical activities and exercises that may have been challenging before the surgery.
Women with overly large breasts may experience emotional distress due to self-consciousness or difficulty finding appropriate clothing. Breast reduction can alleviate these emotional burdens and promote a more positive body image.
Breast reduction surgery plays a crucial role in gender confirmation, giving individuals the confidence and self-assurance to embrace their true gender identity.

The Procedure

The procedure typically begins with administering anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the surgery. Dr. Koonce will make carefully planned incisions, which can vary depending on the extent of breast reduction required and the individual's anatomy. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are meticulously removed through these incisions to achieve a more proportionate and balanced breast size for the patient's body frame.

Dr. Koonce also repositions the nipples and areolas to match the new breast proportions and shape. Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and the breasts are bandaged to support the healing process.

Our commitment to your safety and comfort ensures that you are in expert hands every step of the way.

A Healing Journey

After the surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. It is essential to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Koonce, which may include:

Wearing a supportive bra or compression garment to minimize swelling and provide stability to the breasts
Avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to allow the incisions to heal properly
Follow-up appointments with Dr. Koonce to monitor the healing progress and address any concerns

Most patients can resume non-strenuous daily activities within a few days to a week after the procedure, with a full return to normal activities within six weeks.
