Breast Reduction: Who Should Consider the Procedure?

For the general public it can be hard to believe that anyone would consider reducing their breast. But, for the countless number of women who suffer from the medical symptoms associated with excessively large breast the concept comes as a relief. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that can be considered medically reconstructive or cosmetic depending on the patient, and how the excessive breast tissue is affecting their quality of life. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to patients that a breast reduction could be considered for many different reasons. Primarily most patients who are considering breast reduction have what they consider very large breast that could be causing a number of problems in their daily lives. Most patients are suffering from one or a combination of the following symptoms: back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, groves in the shoulders, and painful, uncomfortable rashes underneath the breast tissue at the breast crease. The breast tissue can be extremely heavy and some experts equate it to carrying two 5 pounds sacks of potatoes, connected by a strap around the neck, to help others understand how cumbersome it can be. In order to reduce the breast Dr. Stuart Kincaid makes an incision around the nipple areola complex where the dark shading and lighter skin tone meet and then and incision that runs down to the crease. Depending on the amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed and other factors, an incision is made in the crease that can range in length. Breast reduction results can vary greatly as they are heavily dependent upon the amount of breast tissue each patient has and many other factors. Dr. Stuart Kincaid helps patients understand what they can expect based on their specific situation. The cosmetic aspect of breast reduction allows Dr. Stuart Kincaid to take into consideration the best aesthetic proportion for the patient. It is aesthetically important for patients to be able to match the bottom portion of their body with the size of their breast after surgery. This can have a compelling effect on choices for their wardrobe as well as their overall appearance. Dr. Stuart Kincaid discusses each patient’s options in detail and helps them to understand the benefits and limitations of breast reduction so that they can make an informed decision.
