Breast-Reduction Surgery Can Improve Your Life

Some women consider their own overabundance of breast tissue a blessing, while others in the same position consider it a curse. That’s the main reason that the women in the latter category want to get breast-reduction surgery. 

At the office of Jose Rodríguez-Feliz, MD, our doctors, all of whom are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, are experts in this procedure. During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss with us your hopes. We will then evaluate your case, discuss any areas of concern you may have and then devise a plan to meet your expectations. 

Mammoplasty is the medical term for the operation to reduce the size of a woman’s breasts. The procedure removes extra fat, tissue and skin. 

There are quite a few reasons to undergo mammoplasty. Some are due to:

• Feeling self-conscious and having a low self-image.
• Receiving unwanted sexual attention.
• Constant pain in the neck, shoulders and back.
• Chronic skin irritations under the breasts.
• An inability to perform certain physical activities.
• Nerve pain.
• Trouble fitting into clothes.
• A breast size that’s disproportionate to the rest of the body.

Most female adults are eligible for breast-reduction surgery. Even some teenagers can get it, but if their breasts have yet to fully develop, the young women may need additional surgery later in life. Women who haven’t given birth to a child or want to give birth to more children should reconsider breast reduction surgery until after their family is complete. So should obese women who are planning to lose a significant amount of weight, because the size of their breasts will likely change.  

At the office of Jose Rodríguez-Feliz, MD, every patient is unique, and we know that individual preferences vary. Our goal is to offer a clear picture of all the options available to you and deliver the results you expect. For more information on breast-reduction surgery, please contact us today. You’ll be glad you did!
