Breast Reduction Before and After
What is a Breast Reduction?
BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY
Breast Reduction surgery lifts your breasts while removing fat, glandular tissue, and skin. What this does is make your breasts smaller, lighter, and firmer. Dr. Rod, Dermacare’s board-certified plastic surgeon, may also reduce the size of the areola. You will be left with breasts that are proportionate to your body, figure, and frame.
If your breasts are sagging, but you are happy with their size, then a Breast Lift may be a better plastic surgery procedure for you.Dr. Rod performs Breast Reduction surgery in Phoenix and the surrounding Arizona areas.

Absolutely! Many Phoenix patients elect to have Liposuction or a Tummy Tuck performed at the same time as their Breast Reduction. This combination of procedures is known as a “Mommy Makeover.” The advantages of this plastic surgery procedure combination include more extensive and cost-efficient improvements with less total downtime and time off work or school.
Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast Reduction surgery is usually done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Depending on certain factors, the procedure usually takes between two to three hours. During your Breast Reduction procedure, Dr. Rod will create your more desired size, shape, and symmetry by removing excess skin and breast tissue. He will use the most precise closure technique that will provide you the opportunity to heal with the least amount of scarring.
How long will the results from my Breast Reduction surgery last?
Your breast will remain a consistent size as long as you do not gain or lose a significant amount of weight or become pregnant. It is important to know that gravity and the effects of aging will eventually cause your breasts to loosen and sag over time. If this has happened, then a Breast Lift may be what you need to reshape and contour your breasts.
Breast Reduction Surgery Aftercare
Our Phoenix board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rod will discuss how long it will take before you are cleared to return to your normal level of activity and work. After your Breast Reduction Surgery, you will be given detailed instructions about your post-surgical care.
Immediately after your Breast Reduction surgery:
● If you’ve had general anesthesia, you might wake up feeling groggy or disoriented.● You will have a surgical dressing over your upper chest and will probably have drains coming from each of your breasts.● You may have compression sleeves on your legs to help with circulation (this is to prevent blood clots in your legs).● You will feel some discomfort, but your medication will keep you from feeling pain.● You will be observed by the hospital staff for a few hours before you are allowed to go home, where you will need someone to care for you for the next few days.● Before the hospital or surgical center releases you, you will receive visual instructions on how to properly care for your incisions, instructing you on how frequently to change the bandages and how to empty your drainage tubes.● When the anesthesia wears off, you may have some pain. Any possible discomfort can be controlled with pain medication. If the pain is extreme or long lasting, contact Dr. Rod with AZ Dermacare immediately.● You might notice a change in breast size, but at this point you will have significant swelling. In most cases, this swelling will remain for weeks or even months.
Breast Reduction Surgery Recovery
Many Phoenix patients ask questions about the recovery time of Breast Reduction surgery. When your plastic surgery is complete, an elastic bandage or support bra may be worn to help minimize swelling and support of the breasts as they heal. A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect. See below for a general idea of what you can anticipate.
Dr. Rod will give you specific instructions for your Breast Reduction recovery that will include all of the necessary information on how to care for your breasts post-surgery.
