Breast Reduction in California

Women who have more glandular tissue than fat (this is often found in women with pendulous breasts or thin women)
Women that have excessively large breasts (the scarless technique typically only provides 1-2 cups reduction in size)
Women who want to change the size and shape of their breasts
Women with excessive sagging

Women with larger breasts often experience issues such as back, neck and shoulder pain, trouble performing ordinary chores, and difficulty exercising. Emotional discomfort and problems with self-esteem are often associated with the issue as well. Breast reduction surgery has been known to provide women with life-changing results, both physically and emotionally.

The incision for breast reduction is usually made along the areola. Flaps are created on both sides of the breast and the excess skin, fat, and glandular tissues are extracted. In most cases the nipples are moved to a higher position on the breast, but remain attached to the nerves and blood vessels. For very large breasts, however, the nipples may need to be moved and grafted to a completely new location. In these cases, the nipples are removed from the underlying connecting tissues and you will lose sensation in the nipple and areola.

Breast reduction surgery is a very common procedure that can do wonders for your body and your livelihood. A breast reduction can address a number of problems you may be encountering due to overly large breasts, including:
Sagging or drooping of the breasts
Inability to fit into desired clothing
Skin indentations from bra-straps
Breasts that are imbalanced or uneven
Pain in the back, shoulders, and neck region
Embarrassment in social situations

Breast reduction is performed on patients who have large breasts and complain about symptoms related to the size of their breasts. Their symptoms range from breast pain, backache, bad posture and spine deformity, deep shoulder furrows from the brassiere and skin rash and discomfort under the breasts. Furthermore, overly large breasts are cumbersome and often interfere with normal physical activity. 

If your breasts are disproportionately large, you may suffer significant physical discomfort and emotional distress. Breast reduction can be performed to bring the breasts into proportion with the rest of the body. 

Overly large breasts can cause some women to have problems with pain, hygiene and self-image. A breast reduction removes excess fat, glandular tissue and skin to reshape the breast to a more proportional size.

This procedure produces smaller breasts for the patient by removing fat and glandular tissue from the breast while tightening skin allowing for a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. Women with large breasts who suffer from neck or shoulder pain, breathing problems, poor posture and / or who are unhappy with their appearance would benefit from this procedure. Breast reduction can help patients regain confidence and enjoy a renewed self-image by creating a body contour they are proud of.

A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure used to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It can also be used to reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). As a woman ages, the effects of gravity combined with the skins diminishing natural elasticity can often result in a saggy breast appearance. Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a mastopexy procedure can increase both firmness and size resulting in a more youthful, full and natural appearance.
