Breast Reduction First Step

What’s the first step?

You don’t have to be burdened by large breasts any longer. To take the first step in breast reduction, simply schedule a consultation with Dr. Li. During this appointment, he will assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and conduct a physical examination to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Call us today to start your path to relief, and let’s improve your life with the breast reduction you need.

What to expect on the day of Breast Reduction surgery

On the day of your breast reduction surgery, you’ll begin with a warm welcome from our medical team. We will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure that you’re comfortable throughout the surgery.

Dr. Li will then proceed with making carefully planned incisions, typically around the areola, down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease. Lesser reductions may require lesser degrees of scarring. Through these incisions, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin will be removed to achieve the desired reduction in breast size and improved breast shape. Meticulous and purposeful rearrangement of the tissues will also be performed to improve the upper pole shape of the breasts, and an internal bra may be placed to help support the lifted tissues. Lastly, the areolas may need to be repositioned and resized as well to enhance symmetry and proportion.

Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions will be meticulously closed with sutures. Dr. Li closes all the wounds himself, in multiple layers with modern barbed sutures, which tend to create finer and more discrete scars. Finally, dressings will be applied to protect the surgical area and provide support to the breasts as they begin the healing process. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Li and his team will prioritize your safety and comfort, ensuring a smooth and successful surgical experience.

Breast Reduction recovery

Breast reduction recovery in San Jose involves several stages as your body heals and adjusts to its new contours. Initially, you may experience soreness, swelling, and bruising around the breasts, which is normal and expected.

You’ll likely need to refrain from strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to allow your body to heal properly. You’ll gradually notice improvements in the appearance and feel of your breasts as time passes, leading to increased comfort and satisfaction with your results.
