Breast Reduction

Renewed femininity and freedom.

While large breasts are often associated with attractiveness, a disproportionately large size can cause physical discomfort, self-consciousness, and chronic pain in the back, shoulders, or neck.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) aims to reshape the breasts by reducing both size and weight. The result is an attractive, lifted bust that boosts self-confidence and offers freedom of movement, physical comfort, and aesthetic harmony.

THE PROCEDURE

Dr. Drakotos employs advanced techniques to achieve a lifted, proportional, and natural result based on each patient’s unique anatomy. These modern methods, including the circum-vertical (lollipop) reduction, significantly improve the final aesthetic outcome by minimizing scarring.

Additionally, by incorporating modern liposuction methods, incisions can often be limited, while the use of fat graftingin specific cases can perfect the shape, ensuring the breasts remain full and well-contoured despite the reduction.

During the surgery, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed. The nipples and areolae are repositioned to the ideal height and can be reduced in size to perfectly match the new breast dimensions. This procedure is a popular choice within the Mommy Makeover suite due to the high level of patient satisfaction it provides.

SURGICAL INFORMATION

RESULT
Immediate reduction is visible, though size will continue to settle for 4–8 weeks post-surgery.
PAIN
Variable? oral pain medication is usually required for 7–10 days.
POST-OPERATIVE PROTECTION
A compression bra is worn for the first 2 weeks, followed by a sports bra. Underwire bras must be avoided for at least 4 weeks.
STITCH REMOVAL
All sutures are absorbable. If drainage tubes are used, they are removed within 1–2 days.
ACTIVITIES
An overnight stay may be required. Patients can shower after 2 days and drive once they stop taking pain medication. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting must be avoided for 6 weeks.
FOLLOW-UP
Clinic visits at 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months.

RECOVERY DETAILS

Holistic Recovery: We utilize antioxidant-rich nutrition, supplements (collagen, Omega-3), and advanced therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) and LED therapy to accelerate tissue healing.
Initial Symptoms: Mild swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness in the nipple area are normal and typically subside within a few weeks.
Return to Work: Most patients return to their professional duties within 15 days.
Long-term Outcome: The final shape and position are fully realized at 5–6 months. Scars continue to fade and improve for up to a year. Because the weight of the breast is significantly reduced, the future effects of gravity are greatly minimized.
