A large international study showed that 7 in 10 women are unhappy with their breast size – and many of them wished for smaller, not larger, breasts.
Large, heavy breasts can cause serious physical and emotional challenges, affecting your quality of life to the point that you might be searching for solutions.
At McCue Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan McCue is known as a breast surgery specialist. With extensive experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgeries, he has the surgical skills and artistic eye required for results that are both beautiful and functional.
Below, we’re discussing the reasons that many women choose breast reduction surgery.
Signs You May Benefit from Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess skin, fat, and other tissue from the breasts. A breast reduction may offer significant relief for women who struggle with the burden of large breasts. Some of the problems that you may experience with large breasts are:
- Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Deep shoulder grooves from your bra
- Skin irritation, redness, or rawness under your breasts
- Difficulty maintaining proper posture due to breast weight
- Difficulty exercising comfortably
- Trouble sleeping comfortably
- Difficulty finding clothes that are large enough on top
- Stretched-out breast skin
- Embarrassment about breast size
Overly large breasts can affect nearly every part of your life, robbing you of the joy you deserve. If you feel like you can’t live a normal life due to your breast size, it might be time to think about scheduling a breast reduction consultation at McCue Plastic Surgery.
The Breast Reduction Surgery Process
Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to create a more proportionate breast size.
The first step is a consultation with Dr. McCue. This is a great chance to discuss how your large breasts affect your life and how you’d like to change your breasts. You can also ask questions about the surgery. Dr. McCue explains his recommendations and helps you understand what to expect.
During surgery, Dr. McCue uses a few different incisions for breast reduction based on the amount of excess tissue and other unique factors. One example is the lollipop incision, which circles the areola with a straight line down the breast.
The other main surgical approach is the anchor incision, which has the lollipop incisions with an additional incision along the breast crease. It’s often used for more extensive reductions.
With breast reduction, Dr. McCue always aims to create a balanced, natural look while retaining breast sensation.
Dr. McCue performs surgeries at seven different facilities in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Some procedures are outpatient, while others may require a short hospital stay.
