What Is
Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts. This procedure can significantly improve physical comfort, alleviate pain, and enhance the aesthetic balance of your physique.
Many women find that a breast reduction not only transforms their appearance but also dramatically improves their quality of life.

Surgical Techniques and Incision Options

Dr. LaBarbera utilizes advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal results with minimal scarring. The choice of incision pattern depends on the amount of tissue to be removed, breast size and shape, and your desired outcome.

Vertical or Lollipop Incision

This technique involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision extending down to the crease beneath the breast. It is often suitable for moderate reductions and can result in less scarring than larger incision patterns.

Inverted-T or Anchor Incision

For larger reductions or significant sagging, the inverted-T or anchor incision may be used. This involves an incision around the areola, a vertical incision, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. While it results in more extensive scarring, it allows for maximum tissue removal and reshaping.

Free Nipple Graft Method

In cases of extremely large breasts, a free nipple graft may be necessary. This technique involves removing, resizing, and reattaching the nipple and areola as a graft to a higher position on the breast. This method is typically reserved for situations where significant repositioning is required.

Combining Reduction with Other Procedures

Depending on your individual needs and aesthetic goals, breast reduction can be combined with other procedures to achieve a more comprehensive result.

Breast Reduction with Implants

In certain situations, typically when a patient desires a significant reduction in natural breast tissue but wishes to maintain a specific volume or shape that their remaining tissue cannot achieve, a breast reduction might be combined with implants. This is less common but can be discussed during your consultation.

Candidates for
Breast Reduction in Gilbert, AZ

Ideal candidates for breast reduction surgery are typically women whose large breasts cause physical discomfort, emotional distress, or limitations in activity. You should be in good general health, have realistic expectations for the outcome, and have a stable weight. During your consultation, Dr. LaBarbera will assess your medical history and current health and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine whether breast reduction is the right option for you.

Benefits of Reducing Breast Size

Beyond the aesthetic changes, breast reduction offers a wide range of benefits that can profoundly impact a woman’s daily life.

Relieving Physical Pain and Strain

Excessively large breasts can lead to chronic physical discomfort. Breast reduction surgery at our Gilbert office can effectively alleviate the pain and strain often experienced in the neck, shoulders, and back. It can also reduce issues like bra strap grooves, skin irritation beneath the breasts, and poor posture, helping patients feel more comfortable and active.

Enhancing Aesthetic Body Proportions

For many, large breasts can feel disproportionate to their body frame, leading to self-consciousness and difficulty finding clothes that fit well. Breast reduction surgery creates a more harmonious and balanced silhouette, allowing for greater freedom in fashion choices and boosting self-esteem. The goal is to achieve an attractive breast shape that complements your natural contours.

Improving Mobility and Physical Activity

Reducing breast size can make a noticeable difference in how easily you move throughout the day. Activities like running, exercising, or even simple daily tasks often become more comfortable and accessible, allowing for a more active lifestyle without the limitations caused by excess weight and movement.
