Techniques named for breast reduction: Deep twilight anesthesia.
Patients w/ overly large breasts usually experience relief from back & neck pain within 1-2 days following a breast reduction procedure.
Liposuction is sometimes used and is mistakenly referred to as a “scarless” breast reduction. This isn’t completely true as small incisions are made to insert the liposuction cannula.
Typically, it takes two to six weeks to fully recover from a breast reduction. Most patients will need to rest for about a week after their surgery before returning to work, school, and other non-strenuous activities.
Older techniques for breast reduction surgery resulted in a process called “bottoming-out” for many women where most of the breast tissue remaining settled to the bottom of the breast resulting in a stretched or sagging appearance.
Breast reduction is performed with the patient having a deep twilight anesthesia. Once the patient is asleep, an anesthetic fluid that is typically used during liposuction is injected into the breast.
Large busted women with the following limitations and self-image issues are good candidates for breast reduction surgery:
There isn't necessarily an ideal age for a breast reduction; the right time to undergo surgery varies on a case-by-case basis. Generally, patients should be at least 18 years old before they have a breast reduction.
Yes, although it sounds counter-intuitive, Dr. Farahmand offers breast reduction surgery with a small implant to those patients expressing the desire to have a lot of projection to their breasts while still wanting smaller breasts.

Often, and more often than patients expect, but carriers set specific criteria. Typically they want documented symptoms such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, evidence you have tried conservative measures like physical therapy or supportive garments, and sometimes a minimum amount of tissue to be removed based on your height and weight. Photographs are usually required. Start the process early because approval can take weeks, and ask the surgeon's office whether they handle the pre-authorization, since experienced offices do this routinely.
Surgeons discuss this in grams removed rather than cup sizes, because cup sizing is not standardized across brands. Most patients go down two to three cup sizes. The goal is proportion to your frame rather than a specific letter, and the surgeon also balances how much tissue insurance may require removed against what looks right for your body. Bring photos of the outcome you have in mind.
Breast reduction consistently records among the highest satisfaction rates of any surgical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise, in published outcome studies. The reason is that it solves a functional problem and a cosmetic one simultaneously. Patients frequently describe the relief from physical symptoms as more significant than the change in appearance.
Some patients can and some cannot, and it is difficult to predict individually. Reduction removes glandular tissue and repositions the nipple, both of which can affect milk production and duct continuity. If you plan to breastfeed in future, discuss it explicitly, because certain techniques preserve more of the ductal system, and some patients choose to delay surgery until after childbearing.
Most reductions use either a vertical lollipop pattern or an anchor pattern including a scar along the fold. They are permanent. Patients in this operation are, in general, notably accepting of scars because the symptom relief is so significant, but you should see photographs of typical scar outcomes at consultation so nothing surprises you afterward.
