Breast Reduction Beverly Hills

Large breasts may cause physical and mental discomfort and can even harm the women who have them -- the size and weight of large breasts can result in self-consciousness, improper posture, pain in the back and neck, indentations from bra straps, skin rashes, breathing problems and skeletal deformities. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide physical relief from these symptoms, not for cosmetic reasons. Performed under general anesthesia, the two-to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and trims resultant excess skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. Advanced techniques are available to create a beautiful breast shape. It is important to have an artistic sense in breast shaping because rather than simply removing excess breast weight, it is critical to sculpt and shape what is left behind.

Breast Reduction

While many women come to our office to undergo a breast enhancement procedure, such as a breast augmentation, a good number of women also come for us for just the opposite: breast reduction. Overly-large breasts can not only make a woman feel self-conscious, but can present a number of health problems as well. Women with very large breasts often experience mild-severe back pain due to the weight imbalance on the upper body. In addition, some women find it hard to shop for bras and tops that fit them, which they consider to be an unnecessary source of frustration.

Just as with a good breast augmentation or breast lift procedure, a successful breast reduction requires a surgeon with a keen aesthetic eye and extensive experience. Dr. Ghavami’s breast reduction procedures involve much more than simply removing excess tissue, but rather sculpting the remaining breast tissue to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Patients are left with a breast shape and size that perfectly complements the rest of the body, also helping to relieve back pain that may have developed before the surgery. Often times a breast reduction is performed in conjunction with a breast lift to remove excess skin that remains after tissue is removed.
