Breast Reduction in Burlington

The technique functions by reducing breast volume, reshaping breast tissue and excising excess skin, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetic and reducing weight of the breasts. The bosoms are elevated and given a new shape while also re-positioning their nipples to the breast’s center.

Your incisions’ precise location depends on your individual aesthetic objectives and current physical appearance. On occasion, incisions around the areola and vertical incisions that extend from the areola down towards the breast’s crease—also known as a “lollipop” cut can be used. For grade II or III ptosis, a third horizontal inframammary fold or crease of the breast “anchor” wound might be necessary in conjunction with the “lollipop.”

If your breasts are excessively voluminous and heavy, removing some amount of breast tissue could also be considered. Ultimately, this decision should depend on your personal objectives. If you aim to enhance your current breast size, it is often recommended to undergo these surgeries simultaneously with the reduction as they all involve similar incisions.

Your recuperation needs will be thoroughly discussed during an initial assessment and the pre-operative meeting. Additionally, we shall scrutinize your personalized post-surgical directives subsequent to the operation.

In general, it takes a few weeks to fully recover, and the optimal results may take months to appear. Following the procedure, we recommend modifying activities for at least two weeks before returning to normal levels of output. During the first week of recovery, patients can expect bruising, swelling, and overall discomfort, which is normal. To aid in their recovery process, patients should avoid lifting or exerting pressure on anything over 10 pounds and refrain from reaching or extending their arms above their heads. As most pain will subside by the second or third week of the recovery period, most individuals are able to resume usual activities during this time frame. At around four to five weeks into the post-procedure phase, topical scar treatments become available, as most swelling would have subsided completely by then. After six weeks have passed since undergoing treatment procedures, the majority of cases allow patients clearances for resuming all regular activities without restrictions imposed upon them anymore!
