Book Your Breast Reduction Consultation with Richmond Plastic Surgeons
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and volume of your breasts, creating a more proportionate look that better suits your lifestyle and body. Our board-certified surgeons will expertly remove excess soft tissue, skin, and fat from the breasts, creating a more appropriate size and shape. Breasts that feel as though they’re too large for your frame or lifestyle can cause a variety of problems, both emotionally and physically.
These are just a few problems that can come with overly-large breasts. But you’re in luck! These problems (and many others) can be remedied with a breast reduction in Richmond. After the surgery, bras and clothing will fit much better, freeing your body from the strain of carrying the weight of your breasts.
After your breast reduction surgery, you can expect swelling and bruising, most significantly in the first 1-2 weeks. Do not lift anything over five pounds; engage in bending, stretching, or strenuous activity. It’s also crucial that you do not smoke or drink alcohol.
After about two weeks, stitches will be removed. You will still need to wear your compression bra, but the swelling will have reduced. Most patients can return to work or other activities around this time, but no exercise should be done.
By 1-3 months, your breasts will be more healed and look more natural and beautiful. It will take up to 6 months for your breasts to be completely healed and look round and balanced.
