Women whose naturally large breasts cause pain or problems can feel socially isolated. If your breasts are large enough to cause discomfort, you may want to consider Breast Reduction in San Antonio with one of our plastic surgeons. This common surgical procedure makes breasts smaller and lighter, which can significantly reduce pain and discomfort.

Symptomatic macromastia (overly large breasts) is the primary indication for our San Antonio Breast Reduction surgery patients. This condition can limit your ability to participate in sports and activities. It can also make you feel very self-conscious about your body shape. Benefits of having breast reduction surgery include:
Breast Reduction is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery can be performed using liposuction, or by an incision in the breast in order to remove tissue. Liposuction leads to fewer scars, but is suitable only for a minor reduction in breast size. To perform a larger reduction, Dr. Ortegon will make an anchor-shaped incision in your breast around your areola. The doctor will remove excess breast tissue and skin, while elevating the breasts for a more youthful appearance. The doctor will elevate the nipple-areola on your smaller breasts, and then close the incisions.

Pain medication will be needed to help manage post-operative discomfort. You may also need to care for your incisions and surgical drains.
During a follow-up visit your sutures will be removed. A special bra is provided, which will need to be worn for several weeks after your breast reduction procedure. During your consultation, one of our plastic surgeons will tell you what to expect during recovery, including when you can lift heavy objects, exercise, and return to work following surgery. You may experience swelling, but you will see the results right away. You should feel the reduced weight of your breasts immediately. Breast reduction surgery leaves scars, and most patients find that the scars fade and flatten significantly in about one year. These scars will not show under a bra or swimsuit.
