Frequently Asked Questions

Ideal candidates are in good health, are at a reasonably stable weight, are non-smoking, and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Most candidates are experiencing discomfort or unhappiness with the large size or weight of their breasts.

Overly large breasts can lead to poor posture, disproportionate appearance, pain in your shoulders, neck, and back, skin irritations and rashes underneath the breasts, ill-fitting clothes, difficulty with exercise or sports, and embarrassment or emotional distress.

The results of your breast reduction surgery will be noticeable immediately, though it can take several months for your breasts to ultimately settle into their final new shape. Following surgery, you can expect swelling, pain, and discomfort that can be managed with rest and medication. You will likely need to wear a surgical or support bra for a few weeks. Many patients can return to regular activity and work within one to two weeks, though strenuous lifting or exercise may need to be avoided for a few weeks.

It is essential to follow all advice and post-op instructions carefully to help prevent unwanted complications.

When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, breast reduction is usually an effective and safe way to reduce breast size, though there are associated risks. Potential complications include changes in breast or nipple sensation, bleeding, infection, asymmetry, significant or problematic scars, problems breastfeeding, or inability to breastfeed.

Dr. Rieger will explain the procedure, risks, and potential complications in detail to help ensure that you fully understand what’s involved and can make informed choices.

You can generally expect scars from breast surgery to be permanent. Scars are more noticeable at first but tend to fade over several months as your breasts settle into their new shape. The location and shape of the scars will depend upon the technique used and the type of incisions made.

Although some techniques can preserve milk ducts, and some women can breastfeed after this procedure, breast tissue is being removed, and it may not be possible for you to breastfeed after surgery.
