Women with large, heavy breasts often are familiar with neck and back pain, bra strap indentations on the shoulders, rashes under the breasts, and general upper-body discomfort. Some women with large breasts even find exercise and an active lifestyle exceptionally uncomfortable.

Ohio Breast Reduction Candidates

Although the appearance of overly large breasts is a concern for some women, most women considering breast reduction are seeking physical relief of upper body discomfort. You need to know all about the benefits and potential drawbacks of breast reduction to be a highly-informed candidate. Dr. Lichten performs breast reduction for young women once their breasts have finished growing. If you plan on nursing after the procedure, talk with Dr. Lichten in more detail to find out if your ability to breastfeed could be compromised in any way.

The Procedure

Breast reduction is both a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedure for Columbus women that creates breasts which are smaller, lighter and more proportionate to the body. Self-confidence and comfort may be restored after breast reduction surgery. As with a breast lift, incisions need to be made on the breast but the resulting scars are well hidden in clothing or a bathing suit. Breast reduction is one of the most transformative Columbus cosmetic surgery procedures Dr. Lichten performs – the most common complaint he hears is that patients wish they had their surgery sooner.
