Plastic surgery procedures are not always focused solely on cosmetic results. Some procedures, such as breast reduction, can also positively impact your health. Many patients who report that they feel like a weight has been lifted from their shoulders and that they are now able to move more freely and comfortably. Because the health benefits of breast reduction are so great for many women, many health insurance plans cover breast reduction surgery.
A good candidate for breast reduction should:
The best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a breast reduction consultation with Dr. Culpepper or Fowler. During your consultation, they will thoroughly explain the breast reduction procedure, perform a physical examination, and develop a personalized surgical plan. We can help you determine if your insurance plan will cover the procedure.
The specifics of your breast reduction will vary somewhat, but the idea is to reduce the weight and lift the position of the breast on the chest wall. Most procedures are performed as an outpatient and follow the same basic steps:
Recovery time varies by patient and depends on a number of factors, including your natural healing ability and the particulars of your breast reduction procedure. You’ll experience pain for a couple days after the procedure, but it will subside. Soreness and swelling can last up to several weeks.
You’ll have a compression dressing to provide support and help reduce swelling. We will do the first dressing change in the office and make sure you are in an appropriate support bra. Supporting your breasts as the incisions heal is essential. The sooner your swelling subsides, the sooner you’ll be able to get fit for new bras.
It takes time for your incisions to heal, and sometimes your breasts heal at slightly different rates. During this time, it is important to follow instructions.
