Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment designed to restore volume, smooth out lines, and enhance facial contours for a refreshed and youthful appearance. Many individuals turn to dermal fillers to address age-related volume loss, deep folds, and areas of asymmetry without undergoing surgery. Dr. Arko Demianczuk offers expertly administered filler treatments using advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking and balanced results tailored to your facial structure.
What Is Breast Reduction?
Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction involves the removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size. Dr. Demianczuk carefully reshapes the breast and repositions the nipple and areola for a lifted and youthful appearance. This procedure not only enhances physical proportions but also helps patients achieve freedom from discomfort and better ease of movement.
Who Is a Candidate for Breast Reduction?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are individuals with overly large breasts who suffer from chronic pain, posture issues, or skin irritation. This surgery may also benefit those who are self-conscious about their breast size. Those who have large breasts and experience chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain as a result of their large chest size may find relief with breast reduction. This procedure is also great for those who struggle to find properly fitting clothing or are self-conscious about the size of their breasts.
What Can Be Combined with Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction can be performed in conjunction with a breast lift to enhance breast shape and projection. Liposuction may also be added to contour around the chest and underarms. Dr. Demianczuk can also discuss combining body contouring procedures, such as abdominoplasty, for patients seeking a more comprehensive transformation.
What to Expect During Surgery and Recovery
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes two to four hours to complete. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days after surgery. Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks. After this time, you can begin slowly resuming your normal activities. A full recovery from breast reduction surgery typically occurs around three to six months post-op.
Breast Reduction Results
Patients typically experience immediate relief from their breasts and notice an enhanced appearance and lifestyle. You’ll notice improved posture, ease of movement, and better-fitting clothing. Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle, though changes such as weight gain or pregnancy may affect the outcome. Breast hypertrophy may occur again if the patient gains substantial weight after surgery or becomes pregnant. The risk of regrowth is higher in younger patients whose breasts are still developing.
