Breast Reduction

[00:00:08.157] Breast reduction surgery. [00:00:09.700] We're talking about is mainly for two different reasons. [00:00:12.643] One is your breasts a little bit larger [00:00:14.459] and you just like to make them a little smaller [00:00:16.400] and improve the shape in the nipple position. [00:00:19.360] If the insurance covers it, [00:00:21.326] then you're looking at a significant breast reduction, [00:00:24.714] in which case a certain amount of weight has to be obtained from each breast [00:00:28.829] to ensure that the insurance company will pay for it. [00:00:33.000] The two procedures that are used for breast reduction, [00:00:36.036] are the same two procedures that are used for breast lift. [00:00:38.840] You have the Wise pattern, which is the old school, tried and true, [00:00:42.114] and then you have the newer vertical breast lift or breast reduction. [00:00:46.200] The only difference between the two, is the amount of breast tissue you remove. [00:00:50.525] The best clients for a true breast reduction, [00:00:54.300] are those patients that are having the back and neck pain, [00:00:58.101] that are having difficulty doing things on a daily basis. [00:01:01.442] They don't like going to the gym, they don't like walking, [00:01:05.720] they have shoulder grooving from their bra straps. [00:01:09.000] They've tried the physical therapy and none of this seems to work. [00:01:15.000] The length of time to perform a breast reduction procedure [00:01:18.715] depends on the amount of breast tissue being removed, [00:01:21.871] and which type of reductive surgery you're doing. [00:01:25.000] The recovery for breast reduction procedures is very quick. [00:01:29.586] Usually, it takes about a week for the patients to get over this.
