Breast Reduction
Conveniently located to serve New York City and Pomona
At Glassman Plastic Surgery, we offer breast reduction surgery for women in New York City and Pomona who are experiencing issues due to the large size of their breasts. Some women may find that their large breasts are the source of some of their physical and medical issues, while others may be unhappy with their appearance due to the prominence of their breasts. Breast reduction surgery offers a way to reduce the size of the breast while also enhancing their shape and overall appearance.
The Benefits of Breast Reduction
Large breasts can cause pain, improper posture, rashes, breathing problems, skeletal deformities, and low self-esteem. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide relief from these symptoms. Performed under general anesthesia, the two- to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. Breast reduction surgery is not recommended for women who intend to breast-feed, since many of the milk ducts leading to the nipples are removed.
Recovering from Breast Reduction Surgery
There will be some swelling and bruising following your breast reduction surgery in New York City. Any pain you may experience during your recovery can be managed with medication. You will need to wear a compression garment that will provide support and help manage swelling. You will need to take around one to two weeks off from work to allow your body to properly recover. Most regular activities can be resumed after two weeks.
