Why patients visit Dr. Kwan for reduction mammoplasty

Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty surgery effectively addresses a condition known as macromastia, which refers to excessive breast tissue. Macromastia is associated with a range of factors, including hormonal imbalances, excess weight or weight gain, and, rarely, breast hypertrophy that results in a rapid breast enlargement, usually with the onset of puberty. Many other times, big breasts are simply due to genetics. Some families are predisposed to developing excessive fatty tissue in the chest. This is particularly frustrating for patients who have achieved an otherwise healthy body weight with diet and exercise, yet still retain a large cup size and prominent profile that dwarfs the rest of their body.

Regardless of the underlying cause, women with disproportionately large breasts often have many of the same, universal complaints. They may seek Dr. Kwan’s surgical skill due to their breasts quite literally getting in the way of their lives in several different ways, including:

  • Physical discomfort
  • Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain as breasts weigh you down
  • Irritated skin along breast creases
  • Problems finding clothes or undergarments that fit
  • Pain when bras or straps dig into your skin
  • Limited mobility
  • Pinched nerves, poor circulation, and numbness and tingling
  • Emotional distress, heightened self-consciousness
  • Inability to enjoy healthy physical activities, such as running
  • Poor self-image, or an image that is defined by your chest

Furthermore, macromastia can dictate a person’s life, from the clothes that they wear (usually oversized garments that can further draw attention to this part of the body), to anxiety and discomfort in the summer or in environments where it’s hot and a bathing suit and “skin-baring” clothing is appropriate.

Lose excess, gain a world of opportunities

While the above concerns would certainly suggest that a patient is a candidate for surgical intervention, those who undergo reduction procedures should be in good physical health, free of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular problems; shouldn’t smoke, which can increase your risks of surgical complications; and should be at a stage in life where their breasts have stopped developing. Furthermore, patients may be candidates at a later point in time should additional children or a weight loss program be on the horizon. Breast-feeding can present challenges post-treatment, and dramatic weight loss can also affect the size of your breasts. Dr. Kwan discusses these and other considerations with you, during a complimentary consultation.

The process

After medications are administered for comfort, Dr. Kwan accesses the underlying fat, glandular tissue, and skin through very small incisions. This is an important feature, because generally the smaller the incision made, the more modest the scar is produced. Furthermore, he uses his artistic and technical skill to make well-placed incisions, which are typically hidden in natural contours, folds, or beneath swimsuits and bras. Breast tissue is excised, lifted, and recontoured as needed, and to your preferences for treatment. The nipple and surrounding areola are repositioned to best fit your new proportions. While the incisions that are closed stick around, they do tend to fade significantly with time and, furthermore, patients appreciate Dr. Kwan’s attention to detail and exacting techniques, which results in barely-noticeable scars.
