What is a Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed to reduce the size and weight of one or both breasts based on the patient’s problem status and desired goals. The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate breast size in relation to the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic preferences. An important aspect of breast reduction surgery is that all patients also receive a lift, or mastopexy, as part of the procedure, helping create a more youthful and elevated breast shape.

Of course, the surgery helps improve the aesthetic appearance of a breast, but it also helps alleviate numerous medical concerns caused by an overly sized breast. However, having a reduction mammaplasty can be the right decision if you are seeking the dual benefits of a cosmetic procedure, improving your contour, boosting your self-esteem, and providing relief from various physical and psychological discomforts.

Medical Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery Explained by Dr. Tehrani

Physical Health Benefits:

1. Relief from chronic pain: Excessively large breasts can cause unwanted pain and pressure on the breast tissue and chest, making everyday activities challenging. The overly sized breasts exert a significant amount of weight on the upper back that often extends up to the shoulder and neck, making it difficult to perform regular physical activities.
2. Improved posture: Of course, breast reduction surgery helps improve posture, as one may not need to compensate for extra weight by leaning forward or slouching. Thus, it alleviates long-term posture issues and addresses various physical discomforts.
3. Reduction in skin irritation: The skin beneath and between the breasts is susceptible to constant friction and moisture if the sizes and weight of the breasts are not aesthetically balanced, leading to skin irritation, infection. However, reduction mammaplasty helps reduce skin-to-skin contact in the breast areas and helps relieve common rashes, such as intertrigo, and infections.
4. Enhanced mobility & physical activities: A breast reduction surgery helps improve one’s engagement with a range of physical activities, such as lifting weights, and performing certain workout routines, i.e., aerobics, and jogging, by relieving pain, discomfort, and posture problems, allowing one to enjoy a healthy lifestyle with better exercise habits, higher intensity workouts, and improved athletic performance, as well.
5. Improves breathing problems: The powerful benefits of breast reduction surgery include its significance in alleviating breathing discomfort caused by heavier breasts. The extra weight of larger breasts puts pressure on the chest and diaphragm, compressing the lungs and causing you to work harder with each breath you draw. And, breast reduction improves the condition of shortness of breath by making the process of inhaling and exhaling comfortable.

Psychological Health Benefits:

• Boosts self-confidence: Having breast reduction surgery to address excessively large breasts impacts your body profile, giving a balanced, proportionate appearance to your breasts, which, of course, helps enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem.
• Better mental health: Many patients report a reduction in anxiety and stress after the surgery, as they get relief from chronic pain, sleeping discomforts, and difficulty breathing, improving the overall well-being of a woman’s life.
