Schedule Consultation
Breast reduction surgery has become one of the most sought-after procedures in cosmetic surgery, offering both aesthetic and health benefits to patients seeking relief from overly large breasts. As a specialized plastic surgeon, Dr. Bain understands the unique challenges that come with disproportionately large breasts and provides expert solutions through advanced surgical techniques.
Understanding Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. This cosmetic surgery goes beyond mere aesthetics, often providing significant relief from physical discomfort and improving overall quality of life.
The procedure involves the careful removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that's more proportionate to your body frame. A skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Bain ensures that the results not only look natural but also maintain proper breast function and sensation.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
Physical Symptoms
Candidates for breast reduction surgery typically experience various physical symptoms related to overly large breasts:
  • Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Deep grooves from bra straps
  • Skin irritation and rashes beneath the breasts
  • Difficulty finding properly fitting clothes
  • Limitations in physical activities and exercise
  • Poor posture due to breast weight
Emotional and Psychological Factors
Beyond physical discomfort, many patients seek this cosmetic surgery for emotional reasons:
Self-consciousness about breast size
Unwanted attention or comments
Difficulty participating in sports or activities
Impact on professional life and clothing choices
A qualified plastic surgeon will evaluate both physical and emotional factors to determine if breast reduction surgery is the right choice for each individual patient.
The Breast Reduction Surgery Process
Initial Consultation
The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Bain, where he will:
  • Evaluate your medical history and current health status
  • Assess your breast size, shape, and skin quality
  • Discuss your goals and expectations
  • Explain the surgical techniques available
  • Review potential risks and benefits
Surgical Techniques
Modern plastic surgery offers several approaches to breast reduction surgery:
1
Anchor Technique (Inverted-T)
This traditional method involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease. It's ideal for patients requiring significant reduction.
2
Vertical Technique (Lollipop)
This approach uses incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, resulting in less scarring while still achieving substantial reduction.

Periareolar Technique
For patients requiring minimal reduction, incisions are made only around the areola, resulting in the least visible scarring.
Recovery and Healing
Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results. Dr. Bain provides detailed recovery instructions including:
01
Proper wound care and dressing changes
02
Activity restrictions and gradual return to normal activities
03
Follow-up appointments to monitor healing
04
Long-term care recommendations
