BreastReduction
What is Breast Reduction Houston?
Breasts that are too large for a woman’s frame can be physically and emotionally uncomfortable leading to self-consciousness, neck, back and shoulder pain, poor posture and even difficulty breathing. Breast reduction surgery involves removing breast tissue to make the breasts smaller and reshaping them for enhanced comfort and improved balance and lift.
benefits
- Alleviates physical discomfort, such as neck and shoulder pain, caused by the extra weight of the breasts
- Improves the shape of the breasts and gives them a lifted, perkier appearance
- Allows you to comfortably enjoy activities like running and other forms of exercise
Results
Before and After
This 32-year-old mother of two noticed a loss of volume and sagging in her breasts after the birth of her second child. She was experiencing back pain and wanted to reclaim her pre-pregnancy shape. Dr. Jung used a short scar technique to raise the nipples and recontour her breasts. The patient went from a D cup to a full B cup. She was ecstatic with the shapelier, more lifted look and with the fact that her back and neck pain were relieved.
TREATMENTConsiderations
You’ll have a consultation with Dr. Jung where he’ll examine you and assess the nature of your breasts, discuss your expectations and goals and explain how the procedure will work and the probable outcome. He’ll even show you before and after photos of patients with similar breasts to yours so you can get a feel for what your reduction will look like.
Breast reductions are performed on an outpatient basis under general or local anesthesia and will take two to four hours depending on how complex your case is. The most common approach is using the “anchor” incision. With this technique, the first incision is made around the areola, the second runs vertically from the areola down to the breast crease and the third follows the horizontal breast crease. Through the incisions, Dr. Jung removes excess skin and breast tissue, resizes the areola if necessary and repositions and reshapes the breast tissue. The nipple and breast tissue are lifted into a higher position and secured with sutures.
Other techniques, such as the “lollipop” incision, which avoids the horizontal incision beneath the breast, and the peri- areolar, or “donut” incision, which involves an incision around the areola only, could also potentially be used. Depending on the shape and amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed, Dr. Jung will tailor the surgery and incisions to minimize scarring and create the most appealing shape for the breasts.
PRE + POSTOp Care
Patients with stubborn abdominal fat and underlying muscle tone are ideal candidates for abdominal etching. During your consultation, Dr. Jung will evaluate your body, discuss your goals, and converse with you about the likely outcome of the procedure. He’ll tailor his approach to your needs and body type and recommend the method to achieve your desired look.
During ab etching surgery, Dr. Jung will use precision liposuction techniques to enhance and define your abdominal region. He first performs liposuction to remove excess fat from the abdominal area. Following that, he strategically sculpts the remaining fat to enhance the appearance of your abdominal muscles. Additional liposuction may be performed around the abdominal region to define and contour it further.
For some patients, particularly those with little body fat, additional methods, such as muscle enhancement procedures, may be used to achieve the desired results. Whether you’re seeking abdominal etching in Houston or looking for “ab etching near me,” finding a qualified surgeon is crucial to achieving the results you desire.
