Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and volume of the breasts, providing relief from physical discomfort, improving body proportions, and enhancing self-confidence. Dr. Stephen Beals, MD, located in Paradise Valley, AZ, specializes in breast reduction surgery and offers personalized care to help his patients achieve their desired results.
The breast reduction procedure typically involves making incisions on the breasts to remove excess tissue, fat, and skin. The specific incision pattern may vary depending on factors such as the degree of breast enlargement and the desired outcome. Dr. Beals will carefully place these incisions to minimize visible scarring and achieve the best possible results.
Once the excess breast tissue, fat, and skin have been removed, Dr. Beals will reshape and reposition the remaining breast tissue to create a more proportionate and lifted appearance. In some cases, the nipple and areola may need to be repositioned to ensure they are in a more aesthetically pleasing position. The incisions are then meticulously closed, and dressings or surgical bras may be applied to support the breasts during the healing process.
Breast reduction surgery not only provides physical relief but also offers emotional and psychological benefits. Women often experience improved self-confidence, body image, and a greater sense of freedom and comfort in their daily lives.
