BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY
Although some women wish to have larger breasts, there are many women who have large breasts who would rather have smaller ones. Oftentimes, large breasts can cause a strain on the body, leading to sore breasts and an aching back. Dr. Lefkovits offers breast reductions to help patients get relief.

Heavy sagging breasts can be a source of both physical pain and mental anguish. Neck, back and shoulder pain, as well as recurrent rashes underneath the breasts, can interfere with normal function and physical activity. Overlarge breasts can also result in severe disproportion in a woman’s body. Breast reduction is considered a reconstructive operation and can usually be covered by medical insurance.
Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast reduction is often performed at the hospital, but selective cases can also be performed at the office operating facility. The procedure leaves scars that are usually acceptable to the patients. In some cases, scarring may be less than optimal, and additional treatment may be necessary to improve them.
Breast Procedure Recovery
A supportive bra is worn for several weeks after breast reduction surgery, and patients can usually return to work in one to two weeks. It is also recommended to avoid driving for at least one week. The final appearance of your breast may not show until several weeks after the procedure. Careful and timely followup is necessary for a healthy and speedy recovery.
