Breast Reduction Bloomfield

Before and After Pictures

If the size of your breasts causes you discomfort, a breast reduction surgery in Bloomfield can ease that. This surgery will help you achieve a more proportionate breast size for your body to help ease your symptoms. Dr. Patrick Felice is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been helping patients achieve their goals for years.

What is a Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)?

A Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) is a type of cosmetic plastic surgery that removes breast tissue to decrease size making breasts lighter and firmer.

The request for breast reduction is typically because of chronic back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or chronic rashes under the breasts. This is a procedure that requires removal of breast tissue and skin, relocation of the nipple and recreation of the skin brassiere. Dr. Felice finds this procedure very challenging in that all breast sizes and shapes are very different and creating new, smaller breasts tests his sculpting abilities. He is very gratified to see a patient afterward with relief of many of their back symptoms and enjoyment of their new size and shape.

As compared to older techniques, Dr. Felice has perfected the shaping of the breasts and minimizing the scars associated with the procedure. Elimination of the long incision beneath the breast extending from the outer chest to the breast bone (sternum) is paramount to minimizing the scarring.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

If you need to alleviate the chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain caused by your large breasts, then you may be an ideal candidate for breast reduction (also called reduction mammoplasty) in Bloomfield.

If large breasts limit your physical activity, are causing posture issues, or are causing rashes below your breasts, then you may opt for a breast reduction surgery. It is also ideal for patients experiencing social or emotional discomfort as a result of oversized breasts.

However, if you smoke or have underlying conditions, breast reduction may not be recommended for you. Smoking can lead to a prolonged recovery process, and underlying conditions may affect the overall safety of the procedure.

Very compassionate, knowledgeable, professional doctor. he is very honest on what will look good and what he is able to do for you. Never tries to push anything on you. i hightly recommend him. His staff is amazing. They make you feel like you are their most important patient~

What to expect during a Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)?

The procedure is tailored depending on your concerns. Incisions are made around the areolae and sometimes down each breast to remove excess skin and glandular breast tissue. In some cases, liposuction may be necessary to eliminate excess fat. The areolae may be repositioned and resized after the breasts have been reduced and reshaped.

The approximate recovery time for a Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) is 7 – 10 days. During this time, it’s important that you take some time off your normal daily activities to rest and recover as you heal.
