Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?
You may be a good candidate for this surgery if:

What to Expect During a Breast Reduction Consultation
If you want to get a breast reduction, you will first need to be evaluated by Dr. Strock during a consultation. The evaluation will include a breast exam, mammograms, a full medical history, and lab tests. Dr. Strock will go over the details of the procedure, and you will be able to ask any questions you may have.
Once the surgery is scheduled, you will need to stop taking specific medications to reduce the chance of bleeding. You will also have to stop smoking at least two weeks before the surgery to reduce the risk of necrosis and other possible complications.
The Procedure
Breast reduction surgery is performed by Dr. Strock under general anesthesia. Dr. Strock will mark the areas where the incisions are to be made. This will depend on the amount of fat, skin, and/or glandular breast tissue to be removed.
The largest amount of tissue can be removed with the anchor incision, also called the inverted-T incision. A moderate amount can be removed with the lollipop incision, and a smaller amount can be removed using the donut incision.
After the chosen incisions are made, excess tissues are removed to reshape the breasts. The nipples and areolae may need to be resized and repositioned. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.
What Is Involved in Post-Operative Care?
Once the surgery is done, the breasts are wrapped in bandages. Small tubes may be inserted to drain fluid and reduce swelling. Pain medication will be prescribed.
Full recovery from breast reduction surgery can take up to a month. During recovery, it will be very important to follow Dr. Strock’s post-surgical care instructions. As part of the recovery process, you should not shower until drainage tubes have been removed. It is best to have help for a few days, as you may not be able to lift your arms and do regular activities.
You will need to wear a support bra for six to eight weeks after surgery to help with support and to minimize swelling. You should not lift weights or take part in other physically taxing activities, since they can stretch the pectoral muscles and make the sutures split.
