Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is there such a thing as a modest breast reduction for someone with severe macromastia?
Cup size
Dec 31, 2020
Cup size is very tough to predict. This is because a bra can’t be fit during the surgery, and typically not only the size but the shape of the breasts change so it’s difficult to know what size will feel comfortable postop. Grams are even tougher to predict, as it’s impossible to know how dense the breast tissue is. Generally speaking, for patients complaining of discomfort from their breasts, I advise them that approximately half of the breast volume will be removed, which is enoug...
I want to know the difference between anchor breast reduction and vertical breast reduction.
Scar pattern for breast reduction
Dec 15, 2020
The anchor pattern is basically the vertical with a horizontal component added under the breast. They are simply different ends of a spectrum that are tailored specifically to your anatomical needs. In other words, if your anatomy requires removal of more skin than the anchor pattern may be more appropriate. Although there’s an additional scar with the anchor, without it you’d have extra skin sagging under your breast. So, it’s not a matter of which scar pattern you want (every patie...
What's the breast reduction wait period after gastric sleeve?
Breast reduction after gastric sleeve
Oct 13, 2020
There's no definitive wait period, but generally speaking your weight should be stable for at least 6 months before undergoing breast reduction surgery. Always consult with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck!
Superomedial pedicle or inferior pedicle if you want to optimize chance of breastfeeding after re
Breastfeeding after a breast reduction
Sep 8, 2020
There's probably little difference between pedicle choice and the impact on breast feeding, and this is supported by many studies. I almost exclusively use the superomedial technique as it retains volume at the upper pole of the breast, which is where most women would want to keep it.
I'm 18 years old, 5'4, 135-140 pounds, and wear a 32DD. Am I a candidate for a breast reduction,
Breast reduction
Aug 29, 2020
Sounds like you’re a perfect candidate, as long as you’re healthy and have no medical problems that will interfere with general anesthesia. The procedure is straightforward, with minimal postop pain and little downtime.
What notch to nipple distance would you say you must do a free nipple graft for a breast reductio
Nipple grafts
Aug 24, 2020
Rarely, if ever, are nipple grafts necessary. Distances of 37 and 40cm don’t require them, however, risks of nipple loss are higher. Experience, judgement, and honest discussion of these risks are paramount.
I have constant shoulder and neck pain, would I be a good candidate for a breast reduction? (Phot
Breast reduction
Jul 27, 2020
From your photos it looks like you're an excellent candidate for a breast reduction to help ease your symptoms. It's a straightforward procedure that can be done in the office with an easy recovery. Make sure to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has experience in breast reductions before moving forward with surgery.
How to fix sagging breasts? Mother of 2, nipples are not pointing down.
Breast lift
Jul 8, 2020
A “lollipop” lift will tighten your skin envelope and keep the underlying volume, creating a perkier breast.  The areola can be made smaller simultaneously.  A scar around the areola would be necessary, plus a vertical line from the base of the areola to the gold under the breast.   An implant wouldn’t be necessary.   The procedure is done in the office, is relatively painless postoperatively, and with minimal downtime (2 weeks no heavy lifting).  
Is getting a second breast reduction safe?
Second breast reduction
Jul 3, 2020
In most cases, a second breast reduction is safe (we just did one last week!).  There are some factors to consider in regards to whether it's safe to do, for example, the general health of the patient, the type of breast reduction being done, and how long ago the original surgery was done.  These factors will determine what increased risk of complications, if any, exist.  Second breast reductions do require good judgment and experience on the part of your surgeon so make sure you're ev...

Secondary Breast Reduction
Jun 30, 2020
Secondary reductions are performed with some regularity, and can be approached safely and effectively.  Asymmetry can also be addressed at this time.
I'm 22 and considering a breast reduction but undecided if I would be a good candidate for this s
Breast reduction
Jun 14, 2020
Discomfort from large breasts is a condition referred to as symptomatic macromastia.   A functional breast reduction can treat this by removing by removing approximately 50% of the breast tissue.   Doing so  will take pounds off your chest and still leave you with aesthetically beautiful breasts.   The procedure can be done in an office, recovery is very fast, and there is very little postoperative pain.   From your photos you look like an excellent candidate, and the operation can bring lif...
What do you suggest for uneven, bottom heavy breasts 10 years post-op?
Long term post-op breast reduction
Jun 1, 2020
It’s not unusual to lose elasticity over a decade.   Sometimes all that’s needed is some tightening of the skin, referred to as a breast lift (mastopexy).  Asymmetry can also be adressed simultaneously.   The procedure is straightforward, it can be done in the office, and recovery is quick.  Mostly likely the surgery can be done through the old scars, without any need for new ones.
How to fix asymmetrical breasts?
Unilateral lift
May 13, 2020
From your photos it looks like a minor breast lift (possibly with a small reduction) is all that would be needed to achieve better symmetry.   The procedure is easy, can be done in the office, and will have minimal pain and downtime.In order to get a qualified, ethical, and expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations, always schedule an in-person office consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Breast lift
May 11, 2020
A breast lift (mastopexy) with liposuction will help.   The procedure is easy, can be done  in the office, and recovery is fast.   There will be a scar around the areola and in the form of a line going down towards the base of the breast.  There’s low likelihood for a loss of sensation.In order to get a qualified, ethical, and expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations, always schedule an in-person office consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Pl...
Breast reduction, breast lift or small implants?
Breast lift
May 8, 2020
Sounds like if you’re happy with  volume, but don’t like the sagging as then a breast lift is all you may need.  The procedure is easy to do, and can be performed in the office, with very little downtime or pain.
