Patient 2852

Did you know that with breast reduction surgery, you can have the size breast you’ve always wanted and you can have lifted, perky breasts that smaller-breasted women have always been able to enjoy? When our breasts are bigger than they “should” be, they begin to control us. Large breasts may attract unwanted attention and stares. They can prevent us from wearing the clothes we want to wear. Often, age-appropriate clothing is not an option because it doesn’t fit, or it looks too revealing. Large breasts often sit low on the body and therefore cause the bra straps to overwork and transfer pressure to the shoulders, neck, and back. The small price you will pay for smaller, lifted breasts are a few strategically, beautifully placed scars around the areola, underneath the breast and vertically down. You know you are ready for breast reduction surgery when those scars don’t bother you. And, over time, they fade very nicely.

Everyone deserves to have the breast size they want. There is no breast that is too big to reduce. It’s my job as a plastic surgeon to help my patients feel and look more comfortable. I enjoy getting to know my patients… from where they have been to where they are going. The results after surgery bring tears of joy to their eyes and there is nothing that satisfies me more than that.

“I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my breast reduction. I feel my breasts are more proportionate to my overall size. I can’t believe who much better my clothes fit. Dr. Gurley and her staff are very professional, conscientious, and attentive to any questions or concerns I had. I knew I was in good hands. It was a true pleasure doing business with everyone in the office. I will recommend Dr. Gurley to all my friends!”

Young girls may feel less attractive when their breasts look different than how they want them to look. Growing up is hard enough and when our bodies look different or unusual we may become timid or inhibited. Year after year this could take a toll on a young girls’ confidence and assertiveness. Large breasts can make it very difficult to compete in athletics and girls start dropping out of sports. Or they start to get noticed for the wrong reasons. One of my young patients told me, “Getting noticed because of your breasts is NOT a compliment!” With one outpatient procedure, you can have the breast size you have always wanted.

Patient 9437

Before surgery, finding bras that fit was difficult and expensive. She wore a size 36-H bra before surgery. Her options were limited. She felt a breast reduction operation would improve her appearance and expand her clothing options. Ultimately, breast reduction surgery enhanced her entire outlook on life. She has limited scarring, better size and shape, and she can now shop with ease.

It is hard enough to have breasts that are too large for your frame. But having two different-sized breasts makes it even more difficult to control and hide. Breast reduction surgery can almost perfectly get both breasts smaller, lifted, and the same size. This is a powerful tool that has excellent long-term beneficial effects like less back, shoulder, and neck pain caused by the size and unevenness of the breasts. With this patient, we were able to solve two problems with just one surgery!

“Downward nipples” are when your nipples face down and not forward and out as they should. With breast reduction surgery, we can re-configure the whole breast by placing the nipple in the perfect position while reducing the overall breast size.

In my opinion, breasts should be more beautiful after breast reduction surgery than they were before. To accomplish this, much care, interest, and attention to esthetics must be given. Size, shape, the appearance of scars and overall beauty is all within our power to approach “perfection.” Careful discussions between patient and doctor are a must so that we fully understand our patients’ desires and definition of beauty.

This patient is an ideal breast reduction candidate because she has disproportionately large breasts. Her breasts are larger than every other part of her body and they make her look older and heavier than she is. Before surgery, this patient wanted to wear cute little tops and bikinis but was never comfortable doing so. She felt that a young girl shouldn’t have to have such large, heavy breasts. She didn’t like the way she had to try to hide them and make them look smaller all the time. She had trouble shopping for bras and she could never find a dress that fit her entire body. She had to go up three to four sizes just to get the dress to fit her breasts. After surgery, she looks more age-appropriate. She is more comfortable. She can wear what her friends can wear – including dresses!

Breast reductions address both the size and position of the breasts and also the position of the nipples. This patient was bothered by two things: the size of her breasts and the fact that her nipples were low. She could never go without wearing a bra. Wearing swimsuits was also very difficult. Her breast reduction focused on making the areolas smaller and lifting her nipples higher while reducing the size of her breasts. She especially enjoyed the skin tightening that resulted from her breast reduction surgery.
