What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure removing excess breast fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion to the body. Additionally, the procedure alleviates the discomfort of overly large breasts.

Many women are unhappy with their large breasts. They can cause discomfort while exercising, neck and back pain, or skin irritation. They can also prevent you from wearing the clothes you would like to wear. Breast reduction surgery can reduce this pain and give you a more proportional look.

A Smaller Cup Size for Greater Comfort

Many candidates for breast reduction surgery have heavy, sagging breasts that are large or disproportionate for their body size. Others have one breast that is noticeably larger than the other. Age and overall health are also factors to consider when determining if a patient is a good candidate. During your initial consultation, one of our surgeons will discuss your cosmetic concerns and goals.

Candidates for this procedure are women who:

Out of proportion breasts relative to body size
Skin irritation beneath the breasts
Experience shoulder indentations from bra straps
Breast size restricts activity

Breast Reduction - What To Expect

Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure performed in our surgery center in either Nashville, Spring Hill or Tullahoma, Tennessee. It requires general anesthesia and takes about two hours. During your surgical reduction procedure, your surgeon will make an incision to remove excess breast tissue. They will then move the tissue and the nipple to restore the shape of the breast. Drains may possibly be placed in the treatment area at that time to remove any excess fluid.

The most common side effects are swelling, numbness or sensitivity of the breasts. The healing process depends on the techniques used during the procedure. You will need to wear an elastic bandage around your breasts for about two to three days following surgery, as well as a surgical bra for about a month to aid in healing. Within two weeks, you should be back to normal daily activities, but heavy lifting and other strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 1-2 months.

Reduction surgery not only reduces the pain associated with larger breasts, but it can also allow you to live your life the way you desire. You can exercise, wear the clothes you want, and feel more confident about your body.

What You Need to Know

During the consultation, Dr. Marvel will examine your facial features, ask you questions about your medical history and evaluate your general physical condition. The result of this examination will determine procedures involved. For example, a Rhinoplasty involves the reshaping of the nose, while a facelift requires making an incision that follows the hairline.

Dr Noah performed my procedure. I am very impressed with the result. Dr Noah exceeded my expectations. I've never been this confident about myself before. I was nervous and anxious, but Dr Noah and Sandra always answered all my questions and were available when I had concerns. I am beyond happy and grateful to Dr Noah and the entire staff.

Can't say enough about Dr. Marvel and his amazing staff. He has done several procedures on me, and they are perfection. I have not had to take any pain pills, I didn't even bruise with my procedures. He is also extremely honest, if he doesn't think you need something done he will tell you that, which is unheard of these days. I highly recommend him

I’m two week post-op from a BBL and I love my results so far! My waistline is exactly how I envisioned. My bum looks awesome as well, can’t wait for final results. Dr Noah did my procedure, he’s a true artist and listened to my concerns. The nurses were wonderful and Maria does lymphatic massages, she’s been a huge help and gives great BBL advice. Thank you Dr Noah! Hazel Webster/Nashville

I couldn’t be happier with the results that I received from my surgery at Marvel Cosmetics. For years I’ve exercised and ate healthier in an effort to maintain my weight. I’ve always been on the heavier side. Fortunately, I was able to drop about 60lbs, but there was an excess of loose skin and muscle loss in my stomach that I couldn’t tone or tighten. I received a few consultations, but I didn’t feel that everything was right until after having a consultation with Dr. Alisha Jefferson. She’s personable, patient, and made me feel extremely comfortable. She performed a tummy tuck w/muscle repair and lipo on my back. Im currently 9 weeks post op…my recovery went well, the incision is perfect, and my overall results met my expectations.. Additionally, her team was great from beginning to end.
