Breast Reduction Surgery in Miami

The cost of breast reduction relies upon different variables, for example, the particular surgical method used and whether breast lift is joined into the procedure. 

During the post-operative period breasts reduction can produce swelling, bruising and pain. Additionally there is slight risk of more severe complications, including bleeding (hematoma), infection, poor wound healing, asymmetry, breast contour and shape irregularities as well as alteration in nipple/breasts sensation.

Some people prefer reductions instead of augmentations due to some health and lifestyle problems that their breasts can cause them. For example, back pain/aches, and possible health conditions that may develop in the curvature of the spine due to the weight of breasts.

This technique involves and anchor-shaped incision that extends up and around the areola.  The technique is often called a keyhole, inverted-T or “Wise Pattern” reduction.  During this procedure, excess glandular tissue, fat and skin is removed.  The nipple and areola are then moved into a higher position on the breast.  Inferior pedicle procedure sometimes produces “square” looking breasts but is the most commonly favored technique in the United States.  It is also the most commonly performed option for women with the largest, droopiest breasts.  The inferior pedicle technique is largely favored due to its predictable and reliable results.  

This techniques involve less scarring and may or may not involve a horizontal scar.  Usually, however, they can be done without a horizontal incision and involve the use of superior, inferior, medial or laterally based pedicles to the NAC.  Vertical scar technique is better suited for smaller reductions with les excess skin as it limits the scar length.  This technique does have the advantages of increased projections, shorter scar length and quicker surgery times.  Vertical techniques also tend to have the best long term results, being reduced through the removal of the lateral and inferior tissues, leaving the upper poles mostly untouched.

The inverted T lift is often referred to as the anchor lift. The procedure is performed on those who have a considerable amount of sagging and a large amount of excess skin. During surgery, the surgeon will remove the skin and fat to provide you with a beautiful breast lift.

The incisions in this procedure are different than the first two types of lifts. There will be three incisions made on the breast. One will go along the edge of the areola, one will go along the crease underneath the breast, and the other will go from the bottom of the areola to the crease on the underside of the breast.

The incisions will fade over time if you properly care for them and when you wear a bra or bikini top, they cannot be seen.

A technique that is primarily used for patients at high risk for ischemia to the NAC, this involves the complete removal of the nipple and areola which are then replaced further up the breast as a skin graft.   This procedure does not preserve areola or nipple sensation and it destroys the ability to breastfeed therefore, it’s wise to leave this procedure, if possible, until there are no plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding.
