Am I A Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome. Breast reduction surgery can be safely performed even after previous breast surgery or breast reconstruction, with careful planning to ensure optimal results and minimize complications. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain or hoping to improve your body proportions, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Prysi, can help determine if breast reduction is the right choice for you.

Is Breast Reduction Right for Me?

If you are living with very large breasts and excess breast tissue, you are familiar with the shoulder and neck pain, the difficulty exercising, and the unwelcome stares. Having breasts that are just too large for your frame affects so many parts of your life. If you’re ready to have a more comfortable lifestyle, consider a breast reduction procedure with Dr. Mark Prysi in Naples, Florida.

“I'm thrilled with the results. [...] Dr. Prysi said the implant was completely ruptured, "a mass of goo". I had a lump of silicone behind my nipple the size of a quarter. Dr. Prysi's practice provided me with the best possible care, preparation and follow-up of any doctor I have every had a procedure or surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Prysi.”

“My friend recommended Dr. Prysi to me. She had a procedure done 6 month previously and looked fabulous. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and not at all pushy. I love the results.”

“Amazing work, amazing service. Have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Dr. Prysi.”

“Meeting with Dr Prysi has been very easy. He listens to your questions and explains procedures. He works very well with his team at their office. Dr. Prysi seminars have been very helpful in learning the procedures and good skin care. The staff is very helpful in follow through and letting you know about what to expect. ”

Types of Breast Reduction

Several techniques are used in breast reduction surgery, and the best approach depends on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Common methods include the anchor (or inverted-T) incision, the vertical (or lollipop) incision, and liposuction-only breast reduction for patients with minimal sagging.

Dr. Prysi will recommend the most appropriate technique based on the amount of tissue to be removed, your breast shape, and skin elasticity to ensure safe and natural-looking results.

Before Your Breast Reduction Procedure

During your breast reduction consultation, your surgeon will review various breast reduction techniques and recommend the ideal surgical technique for your needs. Before your breast reduction surgery, Dr. Prysi will provide detailed instructions to prepare you for a safe and successful experience. This may include lab tests, a medical evaluation, and medication guidelines, including which to avoid before surgery. It is essential to arrange for someone to drive you home and help during your initial recovery. Dr. Prysi will review your expectations, surgical plan, and post-op care to ensure you feel informed at every step.

During Your Breast Reduction Procedure

During the surgical procedure, Dr. Prysi will remove excess tissue and fat, creating a smaller, firmer breast while raising the nipple and areola higher to accommodate the new breast proportions. Dr. Prysi may also perform a breast lift to create a higher breast and an attractive silhouette. He may also recommend a small implant to achieve superior fullness to the upper portion of the breast.

After Your Breast Reduction Procedure

After your breast reduction surgery, you can wave goodbye to skin rashes, shoulder pain from the pressure of bra straps, excessive sweating under the breast, and breast pain. This outpatient procedure can significantly improve quality of life, and patients are typically advised to wear a surgical bra post-operatively to support healing and comfort. Dr. Prysi will provide detailed aftercare instructions for optimal recovery and surgical results.

What Can Be Combined with a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is often combined with other procedures to enhance overall results and minimize recovery time. By customizing your surgical plan, Dr. Prysi can help you achieve natural-looking results tailored to your body and goals. Breast reduction surgery is commonly paired with a breast lift or other body and breast procedures during a mommy makeover.

Breast Reduction with Lift

A breast reduction with lift not only reduces the size of the breasts but also reshapes and elevates them for a more lifted appearance. This combination is beneficial for patients experiencing sagging or stretched skin due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. By addressing both volume and positioning in one procedure, you can achieve a more proportionate silhouette with long-lasting results.

Mommy Makeover with Breast Reduction

For women seeking to restore their body after pregnancy and breastfeeding, a mommy makeover that includes breast reduction can be an ideal solution. This comprehensive approach typically combines breast surgery with body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction to target multiple areas in one surgical session.
