Breast Reduction What should I know about my results? Without the excessive weight of large breasts, you may find that you enjoy life more. Your body will look better proportioned, clothes will fit you better and you'll have greater freedom to enjoy physical activities. Although the incision lines will be permanently visible, they will fade over time and are easily concealed by clothing--even swimsuits and tops with low cut necklines. Breast reduction typically makes a dramatic change in your body image, and it may take some time to adjust to your new appearance. However, most women soon become comfortable with their smaller, more proportional breasts and feel very pleased with the results of surgery. You can expect to maintain your new breast size, unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight or become pregnant. If, over time, the effects of gravity and aging cause your breasts to lose their shape or firmness, you may choose to undergo a Cosmetic Breast Lift to help restore a more youthful contour. How long will I continue to see my plastic surgeon? After the initial healing period, you will return to your plastic surgeon's office for a postoperative follow-up visit so that your healing and progress can be evaluated. In the following months, your surgeon may ask you to return for periodic check-ups. It's important to keep these appointments so that your surgeon can assess your long-term results and address any questions or concerns you may have. |
