Reduce Chronic Pain
Breast reduction surgery in Denver alleviates chronic pain associated with oversized breasts by removing excess breast tissue and redistributing the weight to achieve a more proportionate size. Reducing strain on the back, neck, and shoulders relieves tension and discomfort, improving mobility and overall comfort.

Eliminate Irritation

Breast Reduction
Frequently Asked Questions
Good candidates for breast reduction surgery are individuals who experience physical discomfort, emotional distress, or limitations in daily activities due to the size and weight of their breasts. Candidates should have good overall health and realistic expectations about the procedure's outcome.
During breast reduction surgery, incisions are made around the areola, down the breast, and possibly along the breast crease, depending on the extent of correction needed. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and lifted to achieve a more youthful and proportionate appearance.
The results of breast reduction surgery are immediately visible, although final results may take several weeks to fully manifest as swelling subsides and the breasts settle into their new shape. Most patients experience relief from physical symptoms and enjoy improved self-confidence and quality of life.
Like any surgical procedure, breast reduction surgery carries potential risks and complications, including infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, and scarring. However, these risks are relatively rare, and choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast reduction procedures can minimize the likelihood of complications.
The cost of breast reduction surgery can vary depending on factors such as geographic location, surgeon's experience, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and any additional procedures performed concurrently with the breast reduction. During your consultation, your surgeon will provide a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with your procedure and discuss financing options available to you.
