Breast Reduction Tucson

During your consultation, Dr. Eades will thoroughly inform you about breast reduction surgery. He will explain the extent and location of the incisions and will show you before and after photos of his patients. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and postoperative discomfort is easily controlled with prescription pain medication.

Incision options include a circle pattern around the areola, around the areola with a line extending vertically towards the breast crease, or around the areola and in an anchor-shaped pattern. The next step includes removing the tissue, and lifting and re-shaping the breast. The nipple is then repositioned to better align with the new shape of the breast. In some cases, the nipple can even be resized if it is too large for the current shape. Dr. Eades ensures that the breast size is not only reduced, but provides a new shape for a natural look that matches and enhances your overall body contour. For optimum results, a breast reduction surgery can also be coupled with a breast lift to raise drooping or saggy breasts prior to the reduction in size.

Before their procedure, it is important that patients designate a caregiver or helper to assist during recovery time. Caregivers should be able to drive patients home from the outpatient surgery center and provide assistance the first day after surgery. Patients can resume mild aerobic activity such as walking or treadmill 2 to 3 days after surgery. Most patients return to office or desk type work in two weeks. More strenuous exercise can be resumed at 3 weeks. You should expect scarring prior to your surgery, but those will fade over time and can be concealed when wearing a bra or bathing suit.
