Breast Reduction Surgeon in Vancouver

Women may wish to have a breast reduction for many personal reasons, including:

Improving self-confidence about breast size
Decreasing breast size to be in proportion with body frame
Redirecting nipple position
Relieving chafing and skin irritation caused by sagging breast skin
Balancing the size of asymmetrical breasts

During this surgery, excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed from the breasts, which are then reshaped to a more desirable and proportionate size.

The Surgical Experience

A breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure. It typically takes about 2 hours to complete. For the first several weeks, patients will be directed to wear a surgical bra or compression garment. This procedure is frequently combined with liposuction to remove excess fatty deposits along the bra line. Most patients are able to return to work within 1-2 weeks, and may begin exercising by 4-6 weeks. The visible results of a breast reduction will be immediate, however, it may take 6 months or longer for the breasts to achieve their final shape and size.

Cost

The average cost for a breast reduction is about $13,000-$15,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to breast feed after breast reduction surgery?
Yes. In most breast reductions, the connection between the milk ducts and the nipple remain intact thereby allowing for breast feeding. However, the volume of milk produced may be diminished, and there is no guarantee that breast feeding will be successful.
Is there a chance the breasts will become larger again?
Breast hypertrophy may occur again if the patient gains substantial weight after surgery, or becomes pregnant. The risk of regrowth is higher in a younger patient whose breasts are still developing.
Is my risk of breast cancer increased, or decreased with this surgery?
There is no change in your pre surgical risk of developing breast cancer following breast reduction surgery.
What is breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and skin to create a smaller chest size. This procedure can be done for cosmetic reasons or to provide relief from neck, shoulder, and back pain caused by a large chest.
Who should consider breast reduction surgery?
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.
How long does the recovery take for breast reduction?
The initial phase of breast reduction recovery takes about 3 weeks. During this time, you will notice bruising, swelling, and soreness that will gradually fade over the course of the three weeks. After this time, you can begin slowly resuming your normal activities. A full recovery from breast reduction surgery typically occurs around 3-6 months post-op.
Are the results of breast reduction permanent?
Yes. The results of breast reduction are permanent, but certain subsequent lifestyle changes like aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes can cause the breasts to change in shape and size.
What are the risks associated with breast reduction?
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks included with breast reduction surgery. Although generally considered a safe procedure, some of the more common risks include scarring, loss of nipple sensation, post surgical bleeding, asymmetry, and infection.
