What is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reduce the size, weight, and volume of overly large breasts. The surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin while reshaping the breasts for a lighter, more proportionate appearance. In addition to creating a more balanced figure, breast reduction also repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful and natural level on the chest. This procedure is not only cosmetic; it can be functional as well, providing physical relief from chronic pain, skin irritation, and posture problems caused by the weight of large breasts.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Breast Reduction?

Knowing whether it is the right procedure for you is a personal decision that must be made with time and careful consideration. In consultation with Dr. Rai in Dallas, TX, you will discuss what the procedure can accomplish for you.

You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you have large breasts:

  • Cause you to suffer pain in your back, neck, or shoulders
  • Keep you from exercising or participating in sports
  • Attract unwanted, insensitive attention from others
  • Are asymmetrical and cause you embarrassment or difficulty finding clothing

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Reduction?

The benefits of breast reduction surgery extend far beyond aesthetics. Many women experience immediate relief from chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of their breasts. Clothing often fits better, exercise becomes more comfortable, and bra strap indentations or skin rashes beneath the breasts are significantly reduced. For women who have felt self-conscious due to unwanted attention, a breast reduction can restore confidence and make social or professional settings more comfortable. On a cosmetic level, patients enjoy lighter breasts, lifted, and more proportionate to their bodies, with a naturally youthful contour.

How Breast Reduction Can Help You

Dr. Rai offers a reliable method to reduce the size and weight of your breasts and simultaneously improve their shape. Breast reduction can give you smaller, naturally shaped breasts that give your body a beautifully balanced look and relieve your symptoms so that you can enjoy life to the fullest.

We recognize that every woman brings her unique ideals and body issues to the procedure. Dr. Rai will listen to your needs and cosmetic goals and customize your breast reduction to achieve the results that you will feel confident and pleased with.

Are you suffering from the pain and embarrassment of too large breasts? Call 972-566-6500 today or contact the Cosmetic Surgical Center to schedule your consultation with experienced Dallas breast reduction surgeon Dr. Rai.

Breasts that are disproportionate to the body because of their size can be reduced to restore more natural proportions. The degree of reduction of a breast varies from a minimal reduction to an extreme reduction – based on its starting point, the patient’s desire, and the surgeon’s aesthetic judgment.

Breast reductions fall into two categories: Cosmetic Breast Reductions or Functional Breast Reductions.

  • In this case, breasts are not too large or heavy to cause any health issues. However, they are out of proportion with the body. A subtle to moderate-size reduction is all that is needed to create a harmonious bodily appearance. Surgery in this case is strictly cosmetic in its goal.

  • This subgroup of large breasts is large enough to cause symptoms. Symptoms may include back pain, shoulder strain, and pain, as well as discomfort in the shoulder grooves from the pull-on bra straps. 

Surgical Technique

Many different techniques are at the disposal of plastic surgeons for breast reductions. A surgeon will use a combination of available surgical techniques, along with their own approach, to deliver the best possible outcome. Good surgeons do not depend on a cookie-cutter approach. This is our philosophy for all our surgeries at the Cosmetic Surgical Center of Dallas.

Common to all large breasts are the following attributes:

They are large and heavy and disproportionate to the rest of the patient’s body. They are long and wide, and the nipples are positioned low on them.

What’s the First Step?

Your Breast Reduction Journey with Surjit Rai, MD

The first step in the process toward a breast reduction in Dallas, TX, is scheduling a private consultation with Dr. Rai, where he will listen closely to your concerns, review your medical history, and perform a detailed physical examination. You will have the opportunity to share your symptoms, aesthetic preferences, and lifestyle needs so he can recommend the best approach to your surgery. Advanced measurements, photographs, and surgical planning may be completed at this stage to design a personalized plan for your breast reduction. This consultation ensures that you fully understand your options, expected recovery, and realistic outcomes before moving forward.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Reduction Surgery

The surgery starts by repositioning the nipple-areola complex to its new position. Most of the time, this is accomplished by using bridges of deeper layers of skin that carry the attached nipple-areolas to their new location, while still preserving most of their connection to the underlying breast tissue. These bridges are called pedicles. Several pedicle designs are available—namely, superior pedicle, inferior pedicle, oblique pedicle, etc.

If the breasts are very large or the nipple-areola complex is too low, a Free Nipple-Areola Graft technique is needed since the pedicle techniques will not provide an adequate blood supply.

Patients who can be reduced with pedicle techniques sometimes can breastfeed. This function is lost with a free graft technique.

In the next step, the vertical and horizontal skin excess is removed.

The breast size is reduced. The shape of the new breast is enhanced as it is reduced. Essentially, it is a four-dimensional breast shaping.

Sometimes drains are used. Sometimes drains are not necessary.

Markings For The New Design

The new nipple-areola position is determined first. This is determined by using multiple reference points on the body, which are then blended with the surgeon’s aesthetic sense. Locations of breast creases, collar bones, and the midline of the chest and arms are used as reference points in determining the desired nipple-areola position.

  • Since large breasts are long, the amount of tissue needed to shorten the breast is marked.
  • Since large breasts are wide, the amount of tissue needed to narrow the breast is marked. 
  • Since large breasts extend to the patient’s armpits, this excess is marked for reduction or liposuction. 

Often, liposuction is necessary around the new breast mounds to define their shape. This is marked as well.

Anesthesia

Breast reduction is done under general anesthesia. Only an anesthesiologist certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology administers anesthesia in our Cosmetic Surgical Center.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his team.

    From the very first consultation, he listened with compassion, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely supported in my decision to explant.

    The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out, though, was the phenomenal aftercare. Dr. Rai and his staff checked in consistently, responded quickly whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt cared for every step of the way.

    I’m forever grateful for Dr. Rai and his team.

    They are so thorough, nice, calming, reassuring, supportive…. I could go on and on. I would recommend Dr. Rai over and over! You simply cannot go Wrong with making him your choice. My favorite thing about the whole process was after surgery HE personally calls and emails you until you are released from his care. HE personally talks to you on the phone and shows that he gives a crap about his patient. It’s not just a paycheck to Dr. Rai, he truly cares and actually shows it. You don’t have many drs SHOWING their genuine care outside of your surgery day. He’s there for his patients and I’m grateful for it bc he calmed so much anxiety!!! Plus, his work is WONDERFUL! 100/10 recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Surjit Rai and his staff!

     They were exceptional, from the time I made my appointment to my consultation, my surgery and post op care. The front desk staff made the scheduling easy, the pre and post op nurse was kind and put my nerves at ease. Dr. Rai is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner, he explained the surgery and outcome very clearly and provided personal post op support. I am a nurse in the medical field and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.
