Breast Reduction in New Jersey for a Shapelier Profile

Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Beverly Friedlander

Do you feel your large breasts draw unwanted attention? Perhaps you are experiencing constant pain and stress due to the excessive weight you have to carry on your chest. Dr. Friedlander will address all your concerns and needs to help you achieve the breast size you desire in your private consultation at Beverly Friedlander Plastic Surgery in Short Hills, New Jersey.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Ideal candidates must be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about their results. Many women who choose to undergo NJ breast reduction surgery would like smaller and perkier breasts.

Others may want to reduce the size of their large breasts due to the emotional and physical discomfort they may cause. This surgery is appropriate for teenagers with overdeveloped breasts that have stopped growing, as well as for mature women. In the case of teenagers, it helps to make them feel more comfortable with themselves, not only physically but mentally. Whether you are 16 or 60, breast reduction may be right for you if you suffer from any of the following:

Poor posture
Breast asymmetry
Unwanted attention
Hypertrophic nipples
Saggy and droopy breasts
Skin irritation from bra straps
Chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain
Stress and anxiety caused by overly large breasts

Your Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure that typically takes two to three hours, depending on the amount of correction needed. Excess fat, breast tissue, and skin will be removed during your procedure as the breasts are lifted to their new, higher position. The nipples and areolas are also elevated, creating a more youthful contour. The surgical technique and incisions used for your breast reduction procedure will depend on the condition of your breasts.

Traditional Breast Reduction

This technique will place the incision around the areola. Then, it will vertically extend to the breast fold and end horizontally within the fold to create an “anchor” or “keyhole” shaped scar. It is best used for women with severely enlarged breasts.

Vertical Breast Reduction

This approach is best performed on women with mild to moderately enlarged breasts. An incision will be made around the nipple and extend down to the breast crease, which will result in a “lollipop” scar.

Scarless Breast Reduction

This “scarless” breast reduction uses liposuction to remove fat from the breasts, resulting in little to no scarring. Liposuction can also be performed to remove fat deposits along the sides of the breasts. Scarless breast reduction may be used in older patients where fat has replaced the glandular tissue, but it only slightly improves younger patients whose breasts are very dense or “glandular.”

Nipple Reduction

Some women with enlarged breasts also have protruding or elongated nipples. Dr. Friedlander can easily shorten the nipple length with a small incision on the nipple stalk during the breast reduction procedure. She can also reduce nipple size for patients who feel the areola is too large. Because the areola tissue is usually darkly pigmented, the resulting scar is unnoticeable in most cases.

What Will My Recovery from Breast Reduction Surgery Be Like?

Most women appreciate an immediate improvement when they awake from surgery. You will experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, but this should resolve after a few weeks. A dressing change will be performed the day after surgery, and you will be asked to wear a surgical bra to protect your new contours. Make sure you avoid all heavy lifting and strenuous activities for approximately one month. After all, an enormous weight has been lifted off of their chests!

What Results Can I Expect with a Breast Reduction?

You will feel as though an enormous weight has been lifted off your shoulders following your breast reduction surgery. Your new, smaller breasts will also balance the remainder of your figure so that you look and feel more beautiful. Any discomfort can be controlled with a mild non-narcotic pain medication that Dr. Friedlander will prescribe.

You may engage in activities of daily living and light household activities a day or two after your surgery. However, it is essential to remember that you can still hinder the healing process even though you feel good by returning to an active lifestyle too soon. You may return to light work after one week, but you can work from home one to two days after the surgery.
