Overview
San Antonio women who visit Dr. Michael Decherd or Dr. Matthew Isakson for breast reduction surgery not only do so because they desire to look better, but they also want to feel better too. Women who suffer from large, heavy breasts endure back, neck and shoulder pain, and activities such as jogging or aerobics are usually impossible to perform. Breast reduction surgery can change a woman’s life, giving her the freedom to be more active and to feel more comfortable and confident in her body.
Surgical Technique
A good breast reduction doesn’t just reduce the volume of the breasts, it lifts and reshapes them so they’re “perkier” as well as smaller. We typically use an inverted “T” or anchor incision, which encircles the areola, descends vertically down the lower pole of the breast, and then horizontally in the inframammary crease. The result is an incision that resembles an anchor. Once he removes the excess skin and breast tissue, the nipple and areola are repositioned higher on the chest and then the breast is reshaped to achieve a more youthful appearance. Breast reduction surgery usually involves a reduction of the areola diameter as well. Sometimes, if it’s necessary, liposuction is used to remove excess fat from the area between the breast and the armpit.
