Breast Reduction
A breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of your breasts, and reshape them, so they are in better proportion to your body. This procedure also addresses flattened, drooping, sagging or uneven breasts by removing excess skin and breast tissue, and tightening surrounding tissue to raise and reshape your breasts, creating a more youthful contour. Your nipple and areola will also be shifted to a higher position, and if necessary, reduced in size.
During your consultation with Dr. Capuano, he will listen carefully to your surgical goals and interests, to create a personalized approach that will provide you with optimal results.

Is this Surgery Right for Me?
The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are otherwise healthy adults, who are nonsmokers, who feel that their breasts are too large for their body frame. Some patients seeking breast reduction surgery are primarily concerned with the appearance of their breasts, while others, with disproportionately large breasts may have associated medical issues including neck, back, or shoulder pain, or recurrent infections beneath their breast folds that prevent them from participating in certain physical activities.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are finished with child bearing and breast-feeding. If you plan to have any future children, you may want to consider postponing surgery, because pregnancy and breast feeding may stretch your breasts and compromise your surgical results. Dr. Capuano will help determine if breast reduction surgery is right for you.
