You will likely notice a difference in breast and nipple sensitivity after breast reduction due to some severing of the nerves. While some patients notice their breasts become more numb, others feel heightened sensitivity. The good news is that almost all patients see normal levels of sensitivity return within a few months.
We recommend waiting until you are 18 to undergo breast reduction surgery. By then, most women had completed puberty and fully developed their breasts. You may also want to postpone having breast reduction if you intend to have children one day because the surgery has the potential to interfere with breastfeeding — we can discuss those risks with you during a consultation.
Typically, the expert plastic surgeons at Muse incorporate breast lift elements into their breast reduction surgeries. After decreasing volume, they aim to ensure the breasts look appealing and youthful.
Ultimately, breast reduction is a personal decision. It would be best not to allow friends, society, or anyone to pressure you to have surgery. You also should not feel compelled to keep your breasts at an unmanageably large size if they significantly impede your life. If you remain undecided about surgery, speak to our surgeons so that you have a realistic picture of what you can expect from breast reduction.
The price of breast reduction varies depending on the amount of tissue removed from your breasts and the surgeon's technique. Your surgeon can provide a complete quote during your consultation after learning your goals and devising a surgical plan. Financing options are available through Prosper Healthcare Lending and CareCredit. In some cases, health insurance may cover some or all the cost of breast reduction if it is performed for medical reasons (i.e., not simply cosmetic). Coverage is more likely in cases with an established medical record of shoulder, neck, and back pain, so it is a good idea to discuss these issues with your physician continuously.
