At Flourish Surgical Arts, we provide breast reduction surgery to help women find relief from both the physical and emotional pains associated with overly large breasts. Having large breasts causes many patients to endure back pain, shoulder grooves, skin irritation, and poor posture. However, breast reduction can help restore comfort and confidence by removing excess fat, breast tissue, and skin. Our triple-board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. John R. Nesiba, performs breast reductions meticulously and accurately. Having done over 1,000 cosmetic surgeries, he tailors each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and goals. Patient safety, satisfaction, and well-being are our top priorities. We aim to make each patient feel cared for and supported during their transformation.
A breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size of the breasts. While performing this plastic surgery, Dr. Nesiba precisely modifies the shape of the breast, lifting it to a higher point and adjusting the position of the nipple and areola to create a more balanced and natural look. This procedure is often chosen by patients who experience back, shoulder, or neck pain; skin irritation; or restrictions with physical activity because of excessively large breasts.
This surgery does more than simply alleviate physical discomfort. It can also enhance a patient’s overall body proportions, restoring confidence in one’s appearance. Many find they stand up straighter and clothes fit better after this operation. Even though the end goal is volume reduction, the surgery also lifts and reshapes the breasts, giving them a more youthful look.
At Flourish Surgical Arts, Dr. Nesiba uses various breast reduction techniques to fit the patient’s anatomy, breast size, and intended outcome. All techniques involve reshaping tissue and relocating the nipple and areola for an improved look and feel.
The anchor technique is employed in cases of substantial reductions and significant drooping. It involves three incisions: one around the areola, another vertically down to the breast crease, and a third along the crease. This provides maximum access and versatility in reshaping. This allows Dr. Nesiba to remove a significant amount of tissue while also lifting the breasts into a higher position that suits their new size.
This surgical technique involves two incisions—one in the areola area and one downward vertically to the breast crease. It is best for those with moderately sized breasts and sagging. The technique allows Dr. Nesiba to remove excess tissue and reshape the breast without the need for a horizontal incision, resulting in a lollipop-shaped scar that fades over time.
For women who have a small surplus of fat and skin with good elasticity, Dr. Nesiba can employ liposuction by itself to decrease breast size. This method requires tiny incisions and results in minimal scarring. It is suitable only if the issue is mainly fatty tissue, as opposed to glandular breast tissue or skin that has lost its elasticity.
During the consultation, Dr. John R. Nesiba conducts a thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable breast reduction technique for the patient. The symptoms, goals, and expected outcomes of the patient are discussed, and the procedure is explained in detail. Our plastic surgeon also takes pre-procedure photos to document the original condition and help guide the surgery. Then, he provides a detailed cost estimate based on the patient’s needs.
On the day of surgery, Dr. Nesiba marks the breasts to direct tissue removal and incision placement. General anesthesia is then administered by an anesthesiologist to put the patient to sleep and maintain comfort.
All the incisions are made by our surgeon depending on the anatomy and breast size of the patient. Most of the time, he makes a lollipop or anchor incision to remove fat, skin, and extra breast tissue. Then, the remaining tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned slightly higher to create a more natural look.
Once the desired breast size and contour are achieved, Dr. Nesiba closes the incisions with fine sutures. The procedure normally takes two to three hours. Subsequently, he might put in some drainage tubes, which help reduce swelling and promote healing.
Patients are expected to remain in our cozy facility for a short period post-breast-reduction surgery. They can expect some swelling, bruising, and chest tenderness. The good thing is that in such cases, the patient may be given some pain medication and some aftercare tips by Dr. Nesiba. This helps ensure a comfortable first stage of recovery.
Patients are required to wear a support garment or compression bra for the first three to four weeks. This helps to reduce swelling, keep the healing tissues together, and protect the incision sites. Dr. Nesiba may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection, and sutures are usually removed within seven to ten days. We advise patients to refrain from physical activity, heavy lifting, and exposure to heat from saunas or hot tubs at this time.
As swelling gradually subsides, patients begin to enjoy the lighter, more balanced shape of their breasts. However, it may take about three to four months for the final results to be seen. Over time, most patients find that they feel better because they have less pain, can stand straighter, and are more sure of their bodies. It is important to maintain a healthy weight to ensure that the changes are permanent.
Breast reduction surgery is ideal for women who are physically or emotionally uncomfortable with very large breasts. The best candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. Some other characteristics to consider are:
Breast reduction surgery greatly alleviates chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of very large breasts. This procedure can also help alleviate skin irritation, rashes, and grooving from bra straps.
This surgery can change the size and appearance of a woman’s breasts by taking away any extra fat, tissue, or skin. Additionally, it improves symmetry and how all body parts harmonize with each other.
Patients who have undergone breast reduction surgery often find that they feel better about themselves and their appearance. This enables them to move around without fear, as they can easily put on clothes and remain comfortable.
Most patients find it easier to engage in exercise, sports, and physical activity when they have smaller and lighter breasts. The operation allows them to live freely and enjoy themselves because they no longer have restrictions on their movement.
Improving posture and reducing strain on the spine and shoulders ultimately results in long-term comfort and better alignment by removing excess weight from the chest area.
Many women find it easier to be intimate and derive pleasure from the experience if they are comfortable with their bodies. As a result, they are able to enjoy themselves and feel relaxed when they are with their partners.
The average cost of a breast reduction in Denver, CO, typically ranges between $6,000 and $15,000. This includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility, and any post-operative clothing or supplies.
