Breast Reduction Surgery by Dr. Ordon at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery
What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to the patient’s body. This surgery helps alleviate discomfort caused by overly large breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty finding properly fitting clothes. It also improves the overall aesthetic and symmetry of the breasts, providing a more balanced and youthful appearance.
At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery, breast reduction procedures are not covered by insurance, but our team will guide you through the process and provide transparent information about the cost. With Dr. Ordon’s skill and expertise, you can trust that you are in the hands of a highly qualified surgeon who is dedicated to helping you achieve beautiful, long-lasting results.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Done?
Dr. Andrew Ordon, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, performs breast reduction surgery with precision and care. The procedure typically involves making incisions around the areola and down the breast, through which excess tissue and skin are removed. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to create a more lifted and natural appearance. In some cases, liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat and contour the breast. Dr. Ordon utilizes advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and ensure the best possible results.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction surgery are individuals who experience physical discomfort or emotional distress due to overly large breasts. Candidates should be in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. If you have chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation under the breast, or limitations in physical activities due to breast size, you may benefit from this procedure. Additionally, if you are unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of your large breasts, a reduction can help you achieve a more proportionate and comfortable body shape.
What Will the Treatment Feel Like?
After surgery, patients can expect a sense of relief from issues like back and neck pain, skin irritation, and limitations in physical activity. While there will be some post-surgical soreness and swelling, many patients find that the resulting lighter, more proportionate feel improves overall comfort, posture, and mobility. Each step of recovery is supported by Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery’s dedicated team to ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
What to Expect During and After Surgery
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. After the procedure, patients will need to wear a supportive surgical bra and follow post-operative care instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to allow for proper healing.
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common during the initial recovery period, but these symptoms will gradually subside. Dr. Ordon and the team at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery patients who travel to our Santa Rosa office for their Breast Lift can choose to stay in our Guest House after their procedure. Our staff will advise you with the details.
