Mastopexy can usually be performed as a day procedure in the surgeon's office. The patient will be expected to stay in a bra for six weeks following surgery only removing it to shower. The restrictions after surgery are limited to no lifting, straining or bending for two weeks with no heavy lifting for six weeks. Most patients are able to return to work quickly within three to five days. Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders and unusually large breasts can make a woman feel extremely self-conscious.
Breast reduction is designed for such women.
This procedure removes fat, glandular tissue and skin from the breasts making them smaller, lighter and firmer. Breast reduction often is covered by a patient's health insurance. Our office staff will help get preapproval for you. This surgery is usually performed in the hospital. Most patients choose to spend the night and go home the next morning, but you may go home the same day.
