A breast reduction in Walnut Creek is performed to reduce the size of the breasts and to improve their shape and symmetry. Many symptoms from large breasts, such as back or neck pain, and inability to exercise may be either improved or completely eliminated following breast reduction.
There are several techniques we use to perform a breast reduction:
The ‘“anchor” incision: used in patients with significant ptosis (droopiness) to their breast, the incision goes around the nipple, straight down, and then follows under the crease of the breast.
The “lollipop” incision: for moderate levels of ptosis, the scar goes around the nipple, then straight down to the crease of the breast.
Breast reduction takes approximately 3.5 hours. You go home the same day.
Suggested time off work: 10-14 days from work/major social activities
Walking: Walking is started on the same day as surgery
Exercise: Exercise can be started 14 days after surgery
