What is Breast Reduction?

Overly large breasts can leave you feeling both emotionally and physically uncomfortable. The weight of heavy breast tissue and the self-consciousness associated with having large breasts can impair your ability to lead an active and normal life. A breast reduction in Baltimore with Dr. Rottman is performed to relieve neck, back, and shoulder pain, rashes, and other physical discomforts, and create a breast size in balance and proportion with the rest of your body.

Before and After Breast Reduction with Dr. Rottman

Take a look at our breast reduction before and after pictures to see how Dr. Rottman has helped women living with excessively large breasts. The pictures are of our real patients who have benefitted from breast reduction surgery and are living life with more freedom and confidence.

Combining My Breast Reduction with Other Procedures

Dr. Rottman can create exceptionally natural-looking results with single procedures, and he also frequently combines multiple procedures into one session to help patients achieve comprehensive results. Combining procedures is advantageous because it allows patients to achieve more balanced, harmonious figures and avoid multiple recovery periods.

While breast reduction removes unwanted breast tissue, it does not improve the projection of the breasts. A breast lift pairs well with breast reduction because it lifts sagging tissue and the areolas upward, so they face more outward instead of downward. This helps patients achieve perkier, more youthful-looking breast contours.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Breast Reduction?

You may be a candidate for breast reduction in Baltimore with Dr. Rottman if you meet any of the following conditions:

  • You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too large
  • Your breasts limit physical activity
  • You have deep indentations from bra straps
  • You have irritated skin beneath the creases of the breasts
  • You have stretched breast skin and low-hanging breasts
  • You have nipples that rest below the breast crease
  • You have unsightly, enlarged areolas caused by stretched skin
  • You experience back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
  • You have a BMI of 36% or less

Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

Overly large breasts cause neck, back, and shoulder pain, and may lead to a lack of self-confidence or feelings of embarrassment. The condition also leads to practical challenges, including finding bras and clothing that fit correctly. Breast reduction:

  • Creates a lovelier proportion for your figure.
  • Remedies many physical and emotional issues.
  • Improves confidence.
  • Helps you engage in activities and exercise more easily.
  • Relieves pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.
  • Improves posture
  • Eliminates shoulder grooving

]

A consultation with Dr. Rottman at his office in Baltimore is the first step in your breast reduction journey.

  2. A thorough examination of your breasts helps Dr. Rottman plan your individual breast reduction surgery.
  3. Dr. Rottman discusses your treatment plan and helps you have realistic expectations about breast reduction in Baltimore.
  4. You may ask questions at any point throughout the consultation and expect clear answers to help you feel more comfortable and supported.

Preparing for Breast Reduction

Pre-surgical preparation for your breast reduction surgery may involve some preliminary blood and diagnostic tests. Another aspect of breast reduction surgery that many of our patients enjoy is the need to go shopping for new bras and clothing – your breast size will no longer limit your choices, and you can now choose to wear the tops and bras you want, typically in standard sizes.

What to Expect on the Day of a Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery is usually performed through incisions on your breasts with surgical removal of excess fat, breast tissue, and skin. Liposuction may also be used with these techniques to remove excess fat. Dr. Rottman will determine the technique based on your individual condition, breast composition, desired amount of reduction, and the final result you envision.

During the procedure, Dr. Rottman will lift and reshape the breast tissue to produce a contour that is in proportion with your figure. The nipple will be repositioned and, if needed, enlarged nipples can be reduced to create a lovelier breast.

The incision options include around the areola; a keyhole or racquet-shaped pattern, with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease; or an “inverted T” or anchor-shaped incision. Most incisions can be hidden along the natural contours of the breast to minimize their appearance after surgery; however, some may be visible on the breast surface but placed in a position to be hidden within a bra or swimsuit top.

Recovery From Breast Reduction

Your Guide to Post-Breast Reduction Care

After breast reduction, you will be given a support bra to help reduce swelling and to support your new, smaller breasts. You may see results immediately, and as the swelling subsides, you can enjoy your breast reduction even more. Incision lines remain, but generally fade very nicely over time.
