Do you suffer from back, neck, and/or shoulder pain due to overly large breasts? Perhaps you find difficulty participating in certain activities or finding tops/dresses that fit you appropriately. If this is the case, then you may be considering undergoing a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure such as breast reduction ("reduction mammaplasty"). Near Irvine, Michael A. Jazayeri, M.D. of Élan Institute for Plastic Surgery performs this breast contouring procedure to help you achieve a more balanced appearance.

The Procedure

Typically, patients should be in good physical, psychological health, and have realistic expectations. During your visit with our Irvine breast reduction surgery specialist, you will be thoroughly examined, and the procedure will be discussed in detail in order to fully inform the patient of her options.

Based on the amount of excess skin, fat, and tissue in the breasts, one of the following incisions is made: in a circular method around the areola; around the areola and vertically down the breast crease; or an anchor shape in the lower part of the breast. Dr. Jazayeri then removes the breast tissue, fat, and skin in order to reshape the breast and provide a more proportionate contour.
