Breast Reduction

Macromastia or large breasts is a frequent concern of many Jacksonville patients. While many think of large breasts as a benefit, those afflicted with macromastia often suffer from nagging health issues such as back pain, poor posture, shoulder grooving, rashes and difficulty finding clothes to fit properly. Research has shown that patients who have undergone breast reduction are some of the happiest and most satisfied plastic surgery patients. The breast reduction procedure not only reduces the weight of the breast but also performs a simultaneous breast lift procedure resulting in a more youthful shape.

Breast reduction surgery has been performed for many years, and traditional surgery obtained great results. However, these older techniques often led to significant scars on the lower aspect of the breast in vertical and horizontal directions. Recent advances in breast reduction surgery attempt to minimize this horizontal scarring and are referred to as a vertical breast reduction.

We are often asked by our Jacksonville patients about the function and sensation of the breasts following a breast reduction. Whereas many surgeons routinely detach the nipple and areola from the breast during surgery, we almost never sever the vital attachments for breast feeding and nipple sensation in order to maximize function. The nerves to the nipple and areola are usually stretched in large breasts and a significant number of women report improved sensitivity following surgery.
