Breast Reduction Center of Beverly Hills

Breast Reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of large or disproportionately large breasts.

It is often sought by individuals experiencing physical discomfort, including back and neck pain, skin irritation, and posture issues, as well as psychological distress and limitations on physical activities. The surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, along with reshaping the breasts and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing result.

Breast reduction is a common and special procedure in Dr. Sahar’s practice on weekly basis, typically employing Wise-Pattern Inferior Pedicle reduction.

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to alleviate the physical and emotional burdens that can come with having overly large or disproportionate breasts. As a high-volume center for this procedure in Los Angeles, we have extensive experience helping patients find relief from a wide range of debilitating symptoms.

Many of our patients struggle with chronic neck, upper back, and shoulder pain caused by the excessive weight and strain of excessively large breasts. The constant pressure can also lead to painful rashes, indentations from bra straps, and other skin irritations in the breast and chest area. Beyond the physical discomfort, overly large breasts can also take a significant emotional toll, causing self-consciousness, poor posture, and limitations on physical activity and wardrobe choices. Fortunately, our skilled team of plastic surgeons is able to perform both aesthetic and non-aesthetic breast reduction procedures to significantly reduce breast size and weight, providing patients with life-changing improvements to their comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

In fact, our breast reduction patients consistently report some of the highest satisfaction rates in the industry, as the procedure allows them to finally enjoy the freedom and ease of movement they’ve been missing. Most of our breast reduction patients with physical symptoms that do not resolve with physical therapy and other means are covered by health insurance.

Dr. Sahar has performed hundreds of breast reduction procedures with excellent outcome. Whether the motivation is primarily medical or cosmetic, we are proud to offer this transformative surgery to help women reclaim their bodies and live their best lives.

Here’s more detailed information about breast reduction surgery:

Indications:

In addition to aesthetic reasons, breast reduction surgery is typically sought by individuals who experience physical or psychological discomfort due to excessively large breasts. Common reasons include:

Physical Discomfort: Large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and rashes in the breast crease.
Posture Issues: The weight of large breasts can lead to poor posture and discomfort in daily activities.
Breathing Problems: Some individuals may experience difficulty breathing due to the weight of their breasts.
Exercise Limitations: Large breasts can make physical activities and exercise more challenging.
Psychological Distress: Many people with overly large breasts may feel self-conscious, experience difficulties with clothing, or have body image issues.

Procedure:

Consultation: Before the surgery, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. The surgeon will assess the patient’s concerns and goals, discuss the surgical process, and determine the best approach for the individual.
Anesthesia: Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.
Surgical Techniques: There are various surgical techniques for breast reduction, but the most common involves:
- Incisions: The surgeon makes incisions around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease beneath the breast (the anchor or inverted-T incision) to access and reshape the breast tissue.
- Tissue Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed.
- Reshaping: The remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher on the breast.
- Suturing: The incisions are closed with sutures, and sometimes drainage tubes are placed to manage fluid buildup.
Recovery: Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities within a week and more strenuous activities within a few weeks.

Compression garments and follow-up appointments with the surgeon are typically part of the recovery process.

Results:

Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce the size of the breasts while achieving a lift and a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing shape. Patients often experience relief from physical discomfort and improved self-esteem.

Risks and Considerations:

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation and viability, and potential complications related to anesthesia.

Consultation:

If you are considering breast reduction, it is essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess your unique situation, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired breast size and shape while minimizing potential risks. This surgery can be life-changing for individuals who have struggled with the physical and emotional burden of overly large breasts.
