Breast Reduction in Tampa, FL

Large breasts can create social, functional, and physical concerns for women. Additionally, extremely large breasts can cause physical pain, insecurity, and embarrassment. With breast reduction surgery, Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang has helped countless women live more comfortably and enjoy active lifestyles. At Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery, we will remove excess fat, tissue, and skin to redefine and reshape the breasts to a more comfortable size. During your surgery, Dr. Mang will resize the nipples/areolas and reposition them so they appear more proportionate with your new breasts. In most cases, we also perform a breast lift to produce a tighter and more youthful appearance.

While some individuals might seek ways to increase the size of their breasts, for some, overly large breasts sometimes negatively affect their daily habits and self-image. A breast reduction surgery in Tampa, FL at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery yields a wide variety of benefits to renew your look and enhance your quality of life, like:

• Lowering the volume and weight of the breasts

If you suffer from heavy and overly large breasts that prevent you from living comfortably, breast reduction surgery can help you attain your desired figure. This procedure works well for women who experience emotional stress or find it difficult to live an active life because of their breast size. If you also have chronic skin conditions or neck pain, breast reduction can address these symptoms. Before undergoing this surgery, patients need to be at a stable weight. We also highly recommend choosing an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Mang. With years of experience, Dr. Mang will create a personalized surgical plan that addresses your cosmetic concerns and provides beautiful results.

Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient treatment and is performed using general anesthesia. The duration of your surgery depends on various factors, including the incision type, reduction technique, and the amount of excess tissue. If we reposition your areola and nipple, that will also increase the time of your surgery. Typically, patients also need liposuction to decrease fat and reduce breast size. At the time of your consultation, Dr. Mang will address all of these factors. He will also discuss scarring because it commonly occurs after breast reduction surgery. However, advanced techniques have led to a significant decrease in the visibility of scarring. Based on the complexity of the reduction, we will use either an anchor or a straight line (vertical) incision. Next, the excess breast tissue is removed, and the remaining skin and tissue are pulled and lifted.

After surgery, we will closely monitor you and then send you home to recover. You will have a draining tube near the treatment site to reduce bleeding. At first, patients will need to wear a compression sports bra to increase blood circulation to the breasts. Within about a month, the breasts will settle and the post-surgery side effects will subside. The majority of our patients at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery say they feel lighter, relieved, and more self-confident. After breast reduction surgery, you can enjoy the clothes you could not wear before and feel confident in your new figure. Please keep in mind that you will need to maintain a healthy weight so your results do not change.

How much does breast reduction surgery cost?
Your cost for breast reduction surgery will be discussed with Dr. Mang in your consultation. Once he has created your treatment plan, it will be easier to calculate your costs, including anesthesia, fees for the surgical facility, and more. Reduction surgery usually leads to a dramatic improvement in a patient's life, which is why our staff will help you find low-interest financing to help make your treatment easy to afford. We will also help you talk to your insurance provider to see if your policy covers some of your expenses.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction?
In some cases, your health insurance might pay part of the cost of your surgery if it is deemed medically necessary. If you want to use your insurance, talk to Dr. Mang so he can help you with your claim. You should also ask your insurance company if your policy might cover the surgery and what they need to approve it. Your insurance will most likely decide based on measurements like your weight, height, body surface area, and body mass index (BMI).

Will my nipples be moved?
In most cases, the nipples and areola will be shifted up to a central position during the surgery. If a large amount of breast tissue and skin are being removed, your nipple-areola complex may need to be moved. Dr. Mang will select a technique like the anchor incision so the nipple and areola can easily be moved higher. It's also possible to perform an areolatome to reduce the size of the areolas. All options will be discussed in your consultation before Dr. Mang helps you choose the best treatment plan to meet your goals.

Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Reduction surgery may affect breastfeeding. Although some women may still be able to breastfeed after a reduction, others cannot. It is difficult to predict whether your breast reduction will interfere with breastfeeding. For this reason, Dr. Mang suggests that patients be done having children or be willing to not breastfeed before considering breast reduction surgery.

Can my breasts regrow after surgery?
Following breast reduction surgery, your breasts can get bigger or smaller with dramatic weight changes. This is why it is better to be at a healthy, stable weight prior to your surgery that you can easily maintain. In your consultation, Dr. Mang will talk to you about the best ways to prepare for your reduction and what you can do after to help make sure you are happy with your results.
