Breast Reduction
Dr. JP Farkas:
Breast procedures can encompass from making breasts smaller, to making breasts larger. That's really how you can separate the two operations outside of breast cancer operations, which we do here at Farkas Plastic Surgery for breast reconstruction, following cancer with either implant-based or microvascular surgical reconstruction. For cosmetic procedures, either with a reduction or a lift of a breast it's basically taking the gland and re-elevating it onto the chest wall to a more youthful position.
A heavy breast over time being on the planet Earth is going to descend and stretch the skin envelope. With changes of pregnancy it has to get engorged so that you're able to nurse and then it will deflate and patients have certain characteristics that are very common post-pregnancy to their breasts, to those changes. So a breast lift or a reduction helps to reshape or recontour their breast. If patients are still not at having adequate breast volume for something that they desire, that's when you implant, a silicone or saline breast implant may be useful to give them the best breast shape that they're looking for.
