What to Expect During Your Beverly Hills Breast Reduction

Dr. Davis customizes each breast reduction procedure based on your anatomy and desired outcome. Key steps include:

Check-in and Anesthesia

  • Upon arrival, you’ll review your treatment plan and complete check-in.
  • Davis will evaluate you, perform surgical markings, answer questions, and ensure your comfort before the procedure.
  • The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Breast Reduction Technique

The procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Redundant skin and excess breast tissue are removed, elevating the nipple-areolar complex and contouring the breast. The duration of the procedure is 4 hours.

Breast Reduction Aftercare

  • Davis removes excess skin and tissue, reshapes the breast mound, and elevates the nipple-areolar complex.
  • Incision patterns are based on your anatomy and goals, commonly using a vertical or anchor approach.
  • The operation typically lasts around four hours, depending on the extent of tissue removal.

Breast Reduction Recovery and Aftercare

  • After surgery, your breasts are wrapped in a soft bandage for the first three days.
  • You may transition to a surgical or supportive sports bra for about 3 to 4 weeks.
  • Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with exercise resuming as directed by Dr. Davis.

Dr. Davis will provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and scarring.

When Will You See Your Beverly Hills Breast Reduction Results?

You will notice an immediate reduction in breast size upon waking from surgery. However, swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure your final contour. Over the following months, breasts will soften and settle, with scars fading gradually. Most women appreciate their new breast size early in recovery, with continued refinement for 6 to 12 months.

Breast reduction results are generally long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, although aging and other factors may affect breast shape over time.

Beverly Hills Breast Reduction FAQs

Candidates typically have large, heavy breasts causing neck, back, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or self-consciousness. Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers (or willing to quit or pause), and have realistic expectations.

Many patients report significant improvement or complete relief from chronic pain after surgery. While no surgeon can guarantee pain relief, reduction mammaplasty generally enhances physical function and quality of life.

Incisions typically create a “lollipop” or “anchor” scar pattern. Scars are permanent but usually fade over time and can be concealed under most bras.

Some women can breastfeed after surgery, but the ability may be affected by the amount of tissue removed. Discuss this with Dr. Davis if you plan future pregnancies.

Most patients return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with heavy lifting and vigorous exercise restricted for several weeks. Follow-up visits will monitor healing and guide your return to full activity.

Breast reduction may be considered medically necessary for documented symptoms. Coverage varies by plan, and specific criteria may need to be met.

The amount removed depends on your breast size, body proportions, and desired outcome. Dr. Davis will discuss a realistic reduction range during your consultation.

Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery, while strenuous activities are usually delayed for several weeks. A personalized timeline will be provided based on your healing progress.

Breast reduction results are generally long-lasting, but natural aging, weight changes, and hormonal fluctuations can alter breast size. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your results.

Choosing a specialist like Dr. Davis ensures advanced surgical techniques and a focus on natural-looking results in a welcoming environment prioritizing your comfort and safety.
