Breast Reduction

Goals of Breast Reduction include:

• Reduce volume
• Recontour
• Reshape
• relieve back, neck and shoulder pain
• improve physical activities; sports
• make buying clothes easier

• nipple-areola complex is repositioned upward on the vascular blood supply
• excess skin and breast tissue is removed from the lower and outer portions of the breast
• safely and comfortably performed Dr Porcaro's AAAHC certified facility
• intravenous sedation and local anesthesia
• less risk, less expenses and quicker recovery
• implants can be placed at the same time or after healing

How Dr Porcaro Performs Breast Reduction With Liposuction:

• local tumescent anesthesia with intravenous sedation
• fatty breast tissue is suctioned with tiny straw-like tubes called cannulas.
• works best in post menopausal women with mostly fatty breasts.
• generally is not a good alternative for young women, who have more fibrous (thick) breast tissue and less fat
• quicker recovery than the surgical technique
• virtually no scars.
• drawbacks include removal of upper pole fullness of the breast and inconsistent elevation of the nipple

A preoperative plan is made which allows both the patient and  John Porcaro, MD to share in the decision as to the proposed procedure and the desired size of the breasts after the procedure. With Breast Reduction, Dr. John Porcaro will attempt to make the breasts as identical as possible, but some asymmetry may remain.
