What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of large breasts. This procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate breast size and shape. Breast reduction is often recommended for women who experience physical discomfort and pain due to the weight of their breasts, including back and neck pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps digging in over long periods of time, and skin irritation. Large breasts can also make it difficult to participate in physical activities and find properly fitting clothing. The procedure can also be performed for purely aesthetic reasons.

What Is the Procedure Like for Breast Reduction?

Before your breast reduction in Washington, DC, you’ll need to have a consultation with Dr. Forman. During this meeting, he’ll talk with you about why you’re interested in the procedure. He will discuss the details of the surgery and answer any questions that you may have. He will examine you and ask you about your goals for your breast size. All of this information will go into your tailored surgical plan. Your breast reduction surgery will be an outpatient procedure performed right at our accredited surgical center. First, you will be administered anesthesia. While every surgery is unique, typically, Dr. Forman will make incisions around the areolae, down the center of each breast, and along the lower creases of the breasts. He will then carefully remove excess breast tissue and skin and adjust the remaining tissue to reduce your breast size and give your breasts a youthful, symmetrical appearance. Finally, he’ll use sutures to close your incisions carefully, reducing visible scarring.

What Is the Recovery Like After Breast Reduction?

After your breast reduction surgery, you’ll need to take approximately one to two weeks to recover. During this time, you should rest frequently. However, you should also take light walks to keep your blood flowing and promote healing. You will experience some pain, swelling, and bruising in the first few days after the procedure, which can be managed with pain medication.

Dr. Forman will provide a surgical support bra that you’re wear for several weeks to help your breasts heal in their smaller, more shapely contours. Most patients can return to work after one or two weeks, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks.
