What to Expect
Prior to your breast reduction, you’ll meet with Dr. Gupta to discuss your procedure in detail. Together, you’ll review your breast size, skin quality, reduction plans, and incision options. He will use visual aids and models during these visits to ensure that you can visualize your expected results and are comfortable with the surgical plan.
The day of the surgery, Dr. Gupta will perform your breast reduction under general anesthesia. To begin, he’ll remove excess tissue and skin and artistically reshape the breast mound, before repositioning your nipples and areolas. He will tailor the technique to strike the optimal balance between lift, reduction, and minimal scarring.
Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions
How noticeable will my scars be after my breast reduction?
It depends on your anatomy and where the incisions are placed. Dr. Gupta usually uses an anchor or lollipop incision for breast reduction because it allows him to remove excess tissue and precisely contour the breasts. In all cases, he places the incisions within your body’s natural folds. Additionally, his meticulous technique ensures that they fade over time.
Will my nipples be repositioned?
In most cases, yes. Dr. Gupta will carefully lift your nipples to a more youthful position. Dr. Gupta calls upon his reconstructive expertise to preserve blood flow and sensitivity during this process.
Can a breast reduction also improve shape and symmetry?
Absolutely. Beyond reducing the size of your breasts, Dr. Gupta will reshape and balance them, ensuring that both breasts fit beautifully with your overall frame
How long is the recovery after breast reduction in San Diego?
Most patients can resume light activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and tenderness will improve over several weeks, and the final results will emerge within several months once your breasts settle into their new shape.
Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
It’s possible and depends on how much tissue is removed and how the procedure is performed. If you want to preserve your breastfeeding ability, Dr. Gupta can use advanced techniques to preserve glandular tissue and protect your milk ducts.
