Restore Comfort and Proportion

For many women, overly large breasts are more than an aesthetic concern; they cause chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain that can limit an active lifestyle. At Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery, we specialize in breast reduction to remove excess tissue and skin, creating a more proportionate, manageable contour. Our goal is to alleviate your physical discomfort and restore your self-confidence, allowing you to move freely and feel comfortable in your own body.

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure designed to physically reduce the weight and volume of the breasts. During the procedure, a surgeon removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, firmer, and more proportionate breast contour.

The surgery also often involves repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position. By surgically altering the breast structure, this procedure provides immediate physical relief from the strain on the back and neck while creating a more balanced silhouette.

What are the Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery in Fort Lauderdale can transform oversized breasts into a more proportionate and manageable size, enhancing both appearance and well-being. The benefits include:

Relief From Physical Discomfort

Breast reduction can alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture, and make breathing and movement easier.

Enhanced Physical Activity

Smaller breasts enable participation in sports and activities that may have been challenging previously.

Simplified Shopping

Finding well-fitting bras and clothing becomes effortless with a reduced breast size.

Improved Self-Esteem

Breast reduction can boost self-confidence and overall well-being by helping you feel more comfortable in your body.

Reduced Unwanted Attention

Smaller breasts can decrease unwanted comments and attention, providing a sense of privacy.

Precision Nipple and Areola Repositioning

Nipple and areola reduction is an essential component of achieving a harmonious and proportionate result. As the breast volume is reduced, the nipples and areolas are often resized and repositioned to sit higher on the chest wall, better suiting the new, uplifted contour.

At Fort Lauderdale Plastic Surgery, we ensure these adjustments are made with precision, resulting in a balanced appearance that looks natural and feels significantly more comfortable.

What To Expect During And After The Breast Reduction Procedure

After an in-depth consultation to answer all questions and discuss points such as how this procedure can affect breastfeeding and your personalized approach to this procedure, you will schedule a date for surgery. Breast reduction surgery lasts approximately two to four hours.

  • Anesthesia: The surgery begins with the administration of anesthesia, ensuring the patient's comfort and pain control throughout the procedure.
  • Incision Placement: Discreet incisions are strategically positioned to minimize scarring. The exact incision pattern may vary depending on the specific needs of the patient.
  • Tissue and Fat Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are carefully removed, reducing the overall volume of the breasts. Liposuction may also be employed to remove excess fat.
  • Nipple and Areola Adjustment: If necessary, the position and size of the nipples and areolas are adjusted to create a more natural and proportionate appearance.
  • Breast Reshaping: The remaining breast tissue is skillfully reshaped and lifted to achieve the desired contour and elevation.
  • Closing Incisions: Incisions are meticulously closed using sutures, and surgical dressings are applied.
  • Recovery and Follow-Up: After the surgery, patients are closely monitored during their recovery period. Instructions for post-operative care and follow-up appointments are provided to ensure a smooth healing process.
  • Healing and Results: Most patients can resume everyday activities in a few weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least a month. Over time, the breasts heal, and patients can enjoy the benefits of reduced breast size, improved comfort, and enhanced aesthetics.

Patient Testimonial

I am so please with my results. I had a breast reduction that looks marvelous. Dr Learn and her staff was very courteous. They answered all my questions and that ease my anxiety. My breast look awesome, she did an amazing job, I would recommend her any day. If want great looking results and amazing service she is the one to go to.

Stacey Allison

I had a consultation with several doctors and chose Dr. Learn for her kind and gentle nature and the great results of her patients. Dr. Learn took time to answer every question I had, explained everything to me without the feeling of being rushed, and was very understanding and reassuring. Most of the women working at the hospital had their surgery done by her as well and assured me I had nothing to worry about because Dr. Learn is the best. For an anxious, first-timer, I couldn't have had a better experience. I had a breast reduction, lift, and flat implants put in under the muscle for definition. I could not be more thrilled with my results.

Abigail Nassar

In 2019, I had a breast reduction (not by dr learn) that provided less than desirable results. My nipples were too high, the shape wasn’t quite right, and worst of all, I had developed keloid scars. I had seen a handful of doctors in my area and none of them were confident they could fix my past surgery. I stumbled upon Dr. Learn online and saw her amazing reviews and saw she had been praised for fixing botched surgeries. Not to my surprise, she proved everyone right! I am a month out from my surgery and my breasts look fantastic-they are day and night from what I came in with. The stitching was perfect and obviously very detailed compared to my last surgery. She was able to completely fix my confidence and change my life! I am forever thankful for Dr. Learn.

Madison Louise

I am almost 1 month post opp and I am sooo happy with my breast reduction! I immediately trusted Dr Learn during my first consultation. She was calm and understanding. I feel lucky to have gone through this process with her and the other ladies in the office. I was looking at before pictures and videos of my breasts and I just can’t believe the difference. If you are researching about this surgery- waste no more time and book a consultation. It’s so worth it. Best decision I ever made.

Shannon Davis

Dr. Learn did my breast reduction and I can honestly say this was one of the most life changing moments of my life. My experience with her and the staff was amazing. Not only is the office beautiful and comfortable, her personality and bedside manner is amazing. I think she did and amazing job with my reduction and the results are everything I wanted. I had no complications and my scars are very minimal. My quality of life has improved and I’ve never been happier. She is really good at what she does and I have no words to truly describe how happy I am.

Ladavionna Knight
