Breast Reduction Plastic Surgery in the Charlotte Area

While most women long for larger breasts, women with uncomfortably large and heavy breasts know that excessive volume can cause discomfort or pain. By making the breast smaller and more proportionate to the rest of your body, symptoms related to having large breasts can dramatically improve. Common complaints include bra strap grooving, chronic moisture under your breasts, or breaks in the skin related to the heaviness of your breasts. Other issues include neck and back pain, difficulties fitting into clothing, and participating in sports and exercise programs.

Surgical incisions are strategically placed on your breast to allow for removal of excess skin and unwanted breast tissue. The skin is then redraped over a newly shaped breast mound. Various incisions may be used: around the nipple and areola, along a vertical line along the under surface of the breast, and along the inframammary fold. Modern techniques employed by Dr. Nowicky use shorter incisions to help minimize potential scarring.

Generally, you will need to take it easy for 2 to 4 weeks and can return to work within 1 to 2 months, depending upon the physical requirements of your job. Most of the surgical incisions are closed with dissolving sutures that do not need removal. Dr. Nowicky will provide you with specific postoperative instructions based on your individual needs.
