Breast Reduction

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.
