Breast reduction surgery gives you well-shaped, proportionate breasts. This procedure has numerous benefits, including improvements in your physical and mental well-being.

What is Recovery Like After Breast Reduction?
Your recovery will depend on the details of your procedure, but you can expect some swelling and discomfort in the days immediately following it. Most people can return to work within about a week. Jobs that require lifting or other intensive activities will require a longer recovery before returning to work. Dr. Brenman will provide detailed post-surgical instructions to help your recovery go smoothly.Do I Need a Breast Reduction or a Breast Lift?
If you have large breasts, they often sag over time. This can leave you wondering if you need a breast reduction or a breast lift. While breast reduction can give you smaller, repositioned breasts, it will not address significant sagging. If you have both problems, you can combine breast reduction with a breast lift for the most lifted, shapely results.This visit was a pleasure!
