Breast Reduction in Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Breast Reduction is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of large breasts that are disproportionate to a woman’s body and can cause physical pain. Breast reduction improves breast size, shape and the associated conditions of large breast that include back, neck and shoulder pain; shoulder discomfort and indentation from bra straps; restricted physical activity; skin irritation; sagging, stretched skin, and an enlarged areola.

A breast reduction procedure is done as an outpatient, but it is extensive surgery with many incisions. Drains are usually placed to remove some of the excess fluid that can build up. We also use a post operative pain pump to provide you additional pain relief after surgery. Risks of the procedure are related to the woman’s overall health, age and very important, smoking history. The procedure involves moving the tissue and the nipple to restore the shape of the breast and in doing so, the incisions and the nipple must be carefully monitored to ensure healing. Even so, and especially in smokers, the risk of wound healing problems is to be considered. We will discuss this extensively with you and assist you in getting yourself in the best condition possible for surgery. We can even help with smoking cessation.

Even with the scarring, in almost every case the patient is happy. They are finally relieved of the constant neck and back pain and inability to find clothes that fit properly. The embarrassment of overly large breasts is gone and women are excited about their new look. The scars do fade with time. No one has ever told me that they are sorry they had the procedure done just because of the scarring. In fat, no one has ever told me that they are sorry they had it done for any reason. This procedure enjoys a very high patient satisfaction rate.
