Breast Reduction | Bethesda MD, Washington DC, Virginia

Many women who have large breasts suffer from chronic neck, bra straps grooving of the shoulders, back pain and rashes under the breasts. They can also be very self-conscious about their breast size. In addition, large breasts can make it difficult to exercise and find proper fitting clothes. Breast reduction surgery will remove the excess skin and glandular tissue from the breast leaving you with smaller, perkier, and shapely breasts. The goal is to leave you with a breast size that is more proportional to your body shape. At the same time, the size of your areola can also be reduced as needed.

During your consultation, Dr. Michaels will carefully listen to your concerns and goals. There are several different techniques used to perform a breast reduction and Dr. Michaels will discuss with you the various options including incision placement and ultimate breast size.

Breast reductions can sometimes be covered partially by insurance depending on the volume removed from each breast. This procedure is commonly performed on an outpatient basis.

Breast reduction gives an almost immediate relief to patient's neck, back and shoulder pain. It can also improve their self-esteem and self-confidence. The most common comment I hear after this surgery is, "I can't believe I did not do this sooner!"
