Things to Know Before Going for Breast Reduction

Not all big breasts can bring joy to a woman. If the breasts are excessively huge, they tend to be heavy and become a burden to carry around in all of life’s days. Hassle aside, women with extra sized breasts actually have several other reasons why they see their bust as a sort of existential bane. Heavy-breasted women usually find it difficult to fit regular clothes and engage in several physical activities. These women do encounter issues as well with their appearance, as their huge breasts may affect the proportional balance of their body shape and contour. Moreover, excessively huge breasts would eventually sag and droop. The remedy to this physical predicament however is simple: breast reduction surgery or reduction mammaplasty.

How does a woman know if she rightfully needs reduction mammaplasty? The basic prerequisite is simple enough: when the woman owns overly huge breasts that are providing her discomfort, affecting her physical look and self-esteem, and ultimately giving her all sorts of body aches. Another good determinant is if the woman has large, pendulous breasts – usually of “D” cup or higher in size. Some big-breasted women may also suffer deep grooves in their shoulders due to constantly wearing tight bra. Others may experience chronic skin irritation in the crease under their breasts.

At his clinic in Boulder, CO, Dr. John Squires will thoroughly check into the medical history and personal expectations of each patient before providing his surgical recommendation. For the patient to be considered a good surgery candidate, Dr. Squires requires that she should be mentally sound, willing to accept breast incisions, and must have reasonable expectations regarding breast reduction surgery. As much as possible, the patient should submit her mammogram results and complete family history when it comes to breast surgery and breast disease.

During the personal consultation with Dr. Squires, the patient should be candid and honest regarding her expectations on her breasts after surgery. This is important so that the Board-certified surgeon can map out and decide together with the patient regarding a perfect surgical plan. If there are immediate plans to get pregnant or to lose weight significantly, it is also important for the patient to reveal these information to the plastic surgeon.
