How does breast reduction work?

Breast reduction is a procedure that removes breast tissue to decrease the size of one or both of your breasts. Dr. Greenberg provides breast reduction on an outpatient basis using tumescent anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, which means you’re awake during the surgery. 

North Texas Cosmetic Surgery specializes in providing breast reduction using the following techniques:

Liposuction

Liposuction is a fat-removal technique using vacuum suction to remove loosened fat cells. This is an excellent option if your breasts are still perky and only require moderate resizing to improve your proportions. 

Traditional breast reduction surgery

Traditional breast reduction surgery can remove even more breast tissue to resize your breasts. Dr. Greenberg chooses an incision type based on the sizes of your breasts and nipples to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring. 

Implant revision

If you have breast implants from a prior breast augmentation, you may be able to replace them with a smaller size. 

What are the potential benefits of breast reduction?

Breast reduction can have more benefits than you might initially think. Unlike other cosmetic surgeries, breast reduction can serve clinical purposes beyond changing your appearance or body shape. 

You might be interested in a breast reduction to:

• Treat gynecomastia
• Prevent or alleviate back pain
• Increase the symmetry or balance of your breasts
• Make your clothing fit more comfortably
• Athletic troubles due to heavy or large breasts

During your consultation with Dr. Greenberg, be sure to bring up your family planning and breastfeeding goals so you can complete your surgery when the timing is right. You can expect top-tier care before, during, and after your surgery, which uses tumescent anesthesia for lower risks than general anesthesia. 

Can I get a breast lift with a breast reduction?

Traditional breast reduction surgery is the best option for you if you want to remove substantial breast tissue and alleviate back pain in the process. Traditional breast reduction surgery includes a breast lift to restore perkiness and reduce drooping. 

If you’re not sure which type of breast reduction to get, you can start with liposuction and proceed to traditional breast reduction in the future if liposuction doesn’t result in ample reduction and lifting.
