Breast Reduction
Patients who undergo breast reduction
surgery frequently are seeking
relief from physical symptoms
caused by the excessive weight
of large breasts. Breast reduction
usually can solve these problems
as well as improve the size
and shape of your breasts.
Following breast reduction,
your breasts will be more
proportional to the rest of
your body, and clothes will
fit you better. You may be
a good candidate for breast
reduction if you have one
or more of the following conditions:
- Breasts that are too large
in proportion to your body
frame
- Heavy, pendulous breasts
with nipples and areolas
that point downward
- One breast
is larger than the other
- Back neck
or shoulder pain caused
by the weight of your breasts,
skin irritation beneath
your breasts indentations
in your shoulders from
tight bra straps
- Restriction
of physical activity due
to the size and weight
of your breasts
- Dissatisfaction or
self-consciousness about
the largeness of your breasts
Breast reduction can be performed
at any age, but plastic surgeons
usually recommend waiting
until breast development has
stopped. Childbirth and breast-feeding
may have significant and unpredictable
effects on the size and shape
of your breasts. Nevertheless,
many women decide to undergo
breast reduction before having
children and feel that they
can address any subsequent
changes later. If you plan
to breast-feed in the future,
you should discuss this with
your plastic surgeon.
During
the consultation, you will
be asked about your desired
breast size as well as anything
else about your breasts that
you would like to see improved.
This will help Dr. Newman
(Breast Reduction Plastic
Surgeon Temecula) to understand
your expectations and determine
whether they realistically
can be achieved.
Your plastic
surgeon will examine your
breasts, taking measurements
and perhaps photographs for
your medical record. The size
and shape of your breasts,
the quality of your skin,
and the placement of the nipples
and areolas will be carefully
evaluated. You should come
to the consultation prepared
to discuss your medical history.
This will include information
about any medical conditions,
drug allergies, medical treatments
you have received, previous
surgeries including breast
biopsies, and medications
that you currently take. It
is important for you to provide
complete information. Read

"I researched
several surgeons before selection
Dr. Newman, I had many questions
and concerns leading up to
my surgery and Dr. Newman
and his staff always took
the time to answer every questions
truthfully. It was very personal
and intimate experience and
Dr. Newman and staff always
made me feel like a friend
as opposed to a patient. Most
importantly I could not be
more pleased with my new look….I
has breast enlargement."
