Breast Reduction

Tampa, St Petersburg, and Clearwater, Florida Breast Surgery

Large breasts are not always a good thing. Large breasts make you self-conscious either because they receive a lot of unwanted attention or because they make you feel matronly, overweight, or otherwise unattractive. Large breasts can also be a constant burden, causing lower back strain, painful digging-in of bra straps, and regular interference with day-to-day tasks or recreational activities. If you are unhappy with your large breasts, breast reduction can free you and help you feel more self-confident.

To learn how St Petersburg breast surgeon, Dr. Antonio J. Gayoso can help you feel better with breast reduction, please schedule a breast reduction consultation at Gayoso Plastic Surgery today.

The Burden of Large Breasts

Large breasts can lead to serious negative psychological effects. If you have large breasts you might experience:

• Feeling self-conscious
• Feeling unattractive
• Feeling overweight
• Feeling matronly or old
• Receiving unwanted attention

The latter is especially likely for teens who experience abnormal breast growth at an early age, making them a target of teasing or jokes during high school. Even after high school, the effects can linger long into adulthood, making it impossible for some women to feel comfortable and confident in their bodies and with their breasts.

Large breasts can also be a physical burden. Women with large breasts can experience physical discomfort including:

• Back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Bra straps that dig in
• Chafing and pain below or in the breast
• Extreme exhaustion

Breast reduction can immediately make you feel less self-conscious about your appearance, helping you to feel younger and more attractive. It can also relieve the physical burden of large breasts.

Breast Reduction: A Surgical Solution

Breast reduction surgery is highly successful at alleviating both the physical and psychological effects of large breasts. Because it can create extreme relief, breast reduction has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any plastic surgery procedure. Our patients report feeling free, confident, young, and attractive, sometimes for the first time in their adult lives.

In breast reduction, Dr. Gayoso removes excess breast tissue (largely fat), using surgical excision, liposuction, or a combination. Excess skin is then removed, and the breast mound is reshaped.

Goals of Breast Reduction

The primary goal of breast reduction is to create a new breast shape that is not only smaller, but also more attractive. In the process, the physical burden of large breasts is reduced. Similar to a breast lift, the goal is to create breasts that have a youthful, attractive shape. The area around the breasts may also be contoured using liposuction or ultrasonic liposuction to create an overall harmonious appearance. This will help you to feel more comfortable, confident, and attractive.
