Breast Reduction Staten Island

Has the size of your breasts caused you not only back pain but to feel uncomfortable in your own body as well? A breast reduction can solve both these problems in one procedure, and in Staten Island, Dr. Fredric Marks is a plastic surgeon with years of professional experience and expertise in aesthetic and cosmetic care.

Breast reduction (or reduction mammaplasty) is an enhancement procedure that reshapes the breasts in order to make them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Reduction is accomplished by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Overly large breasts can cause physical pain as well as emotional and social anxiety. Women who take advantage of the breast reduction procedure find that they are able to lead a healthier, more comfortable life, in addition to enjoying a beautiful, more proportionate appearance.

A breast reduction may be an appropriate procedure for the following reasons, among others:

-Back, neck or shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts.
-Sagging breasts produced by their large size.
-Disproportionate body frame attributed to oversized breasts.
-Restriction of physical activity due to the size and weight of the breasts.
-Painful bra strap marks and/or rashes as a result of large breasts.

Techniques for breast reduction vary, but the most common procedure involves an incision that circles the areola. From the areola, the incision goes down and follows the natural curve under the breast. The surgeon then removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin. Next, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher position and held in place by stitches. Occasionally, liposuction alone can be used to reduce breast size. The procedure that is most suited to your situation and body can be determined during the initial consultation and interview.
