If your breasts are too large for your frame, reducing them can do wonders for your overall appearance and your self-esteem.
Large, heavy and cumbersome breasts can take an enormous toll on your physical and emotional wellbeing. When this occurs, Dr. Sukkar, one of the top providers of breast reduction Houston has to offer, can sculpt breasts that are still round, full and beautiful – but much easier to manage.
If you are looking at getting a breast reduction, cost can play a big part in the decision made.
The average cost of breast reduction surgery is over $5,000 and may not include surgeon fees, anesthesia, or facilities fees. Insurance may cover the cost of breast reduction surgery should a medical need exist. Review your current plan, and ask us about financing options available during your consultation.
To begin your breast reduction, Dr. Sukkar will administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety.
From there, your surgery will be completely customized based on your unique needs. For example, if you have extremely large breasts, Dr. Sukkar will likely recommend a traditional anchor technique. This is the most common type of breast reduction, but it’s also the most invasive. It involves creating an incision that begins around the nipple and extends down the front of the breast and along the crease, so that it looks like an anchor. Because this technique allows for the most skin and tissue removal, it also produces the most dramatic results.
And finally, if your breasts feature more fatty tissue, rather than glandular tissue, you may qualify for an innovative scarless breast reduction.
In this case, Dr. Sukkar will use liposuction to remove the excess volume and sculpt smaller and more manageable breasts. To perform this procedure, he will make a small incision within each armpit or in the bottom crease of each breast.
He will then use a cannula to gently break up and remove the fatty tissue. This approach is very appealing because it results in minimal scars and is substantially less invasive than the other two breast reduction techniques.
If you have a moderate amount of volume that needs to be removed, a vertical incision technique may be in your best interest. In this case, Dr. Sukkar will make an incision that begins around the areola and extends down to the breast crease, so that it looks like a lollipop. This results in less visible scars when compared to the traditional anchor approach. Additionally, it’s a less intensive option, so you can look forward to a shorter procedure.
Once Dr. Sukkar has completed your Houston breast reduction, he will dress you in a surgical bra to support your new chest, before sending you home to begin the healing process.
During the first several days after surgery, it’s normal to experience some pain, grogginess, weakness, swelling and bruising – though it will all disappear as you recover. You should stay home from work for at least one week, at which point you’ll be able to resume much of your normal daily routine. Within three weeks, our Houston breast reduction patients can expect to make a full return to more strenuous exercise and activities without any restrictions.
