San Diego Breast Reduction

For various reasons, women may develop overly large breasts that cause pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and back. In order to achieve a more proportional breast size, individuals opt to undergo breast reduction surgery.

San Diego breast reduction specialist, Larry H. Pollack, M.D., F.A.C.S. performs this procedure along with other breast surgery procedures at his La Jolla and San Diego area practice, Del Mar Plastic Surgery. Along with a caring and professional staff, Dr. Pollack is committed to helping patients achieve their ideal outcome.

La Jolla & San Diego Breast Reduction Surgery

During a visit with Dr. Pollack, patients can discuss their concerns and undergo an evaluation in order to determine the best surgical plan. Breast reduction surgery (“reduction mammaplasty”) is designed to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breast in order to achieve a balanced appearance. Dr. Pollack makes incisions around the areola, vertically down to the bottom of the breast, and then horizontally in the crease. This allows him to reshape the breast as well. Post-surgery, patients may anticipate reduced strain on the neck, shoulders, and back.

San Diego and La Jolla breast reduction patients who have experienced multiple pregnancies may wish to undergo a combination of body enhancing procedures in what is termed a “Mommy Makeover.” The most commonly performed surgeries include breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”) and/or breast augmentation (“augmentation mammaplasty”), liposuction (“lipoplasty”), and tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”). Further information regarding these surgeries can be obtained during an appointment.

Examples of patient results may be viewed in before and after breast reduction photos, and insight to the care provided at Del Mar Plastic Surgery can be gained from reading patient testimonials.
