Candidates-Breast Reduction in San Diego

Women who have experienced pain and discomfort because of the size of their breasts are likely to be good candidates for breast reduction. Back pain, neck pain, skin irritation, breathing problems, and skeletal deformities are health problems frequently associated with large breasts. In addition, women with heavy chests may feel self-conscious and uncomfortable during exercise and sports and may be unable to find clothes that fit correctly. Large breasts can also contribute to an overweight appearance regardless of a woman's actual weight. Good candidates for breast reduction understand that surgery may be the best option for reducing the pain and health problems associated with large breasts.

Procedure

During the breast reduction procedure at his San Diego and La Jolla surgical centers, Dr. Mark Mofid removes excess tissue, fat, and skin from the undersides of the breasts. The patient will be under general anesthesia for the duration of surgery. The nipple and areola are relocated to higher positions on the breasts. In most cases, nipple and areolar sensation is preserved. Dr. Mofid will strive for an appearance that is natural-looking, firm, round, and symmetrical.

Results

Although swelling and bruising subside a few weeks after breast reduction surgery, it may take several months before the breasts fully settle into their new shapes. Patients will feel more comfortable and active after surgery because their breasts will be significantly lighter. Because breast reduction brings the body into proportion, the patient's body contours will be improved and clothes will fit better. Dr. Mark Mofid's breast reduction patients are generally very happy with the reduced pain and improved appearance that come with their final results.
