Supple breasts can give many women the curves they crave; however, too much tissue can create a variety of issues, like self-confidence concerns or back pain. Your breast surgeon in Chicago can perform a reduction surgery to help you achieve the aesthetic goals you want while also improving your quality of life. It’s natural to have a few concerns before getting started, but there’s no need to worry. Here’s what you can expect during your breast reduction surgery, and a few added bonuses you’ll enjoy as well.

Understanding Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery removes excess tissue to create an overall smaller, higher, and youthful placement of the breasts. Now, new innovations allow the procedure to be less invasive. In fact, you’ll only need two to three incisions, which also means less scaring.

Often, an incision is made around the areola with another one underneath the breast. This allows your surgeon to remove the excess skin, fat, and tissue. The treatment can be combined with other procedures as well, like a breast lift or liposuction.

It’s normal to experience some discomfort. Your chest may feel restricted or tight at first, but it’s best to apply cold compresses regularly to minimize any swelling. You’ll see a significant improvement in your appearance immediately after the surgery. As you heal, you’ll continue to see a gradual change for several weeks.

Surprising Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

After your procedure, you’ll experience emotional benefits right away as you become more comfortable with your appearance. Believe it or not, you’ll enjoy more advantages other than just improved self-esteem, including:

  • Athletic Participation: Excessively large breasts can prevent many women from participating in sports because it can be difficult to move or even cause stress injuries. Breast reduction can make it easier to run, jog, and participate in sports without any discomfort.
  • Improved Shopping Experience: Many women who have large breasts struggle to find clothes that fit. This can cause frustration and embarrassment when trying to buy an outfit. You can enjoy shopping and find many excellent deals by reducing your breast tissue.
  • Reduced Stretch Marks: Gravity can lead to stretch marks, which is a common problem for women who have larger than average breasts. The reduction surgery improves your comfort and your posture while also decreasing the potential for stretch marks over time.
