Large breast or macromastia can cause a series of symptoms including back pain, neck pain, headache, groove marks on your shoulders from your bra, or skin changes under your breast. Surgical correction of large breasts is called reduction mammoplasty or breast reduction. In this surgery, extra skin and breast tissue is removed from your breast and your breasts are reshaped to give them a younger more natural look.

During your consultation, Dr. Humble, a Houston Breast Reduction Surgeon will discuss with you your surgical options. He will discuss with the different incisions available, the type reduction most appropriate for you, and the pros and cons to each choice. With your input an appropriate surgical plan will be formulated that is unique to your individual circumstances.
Breast Reduction surgery is performed in a certified surgical center under general anesthesia. The surgery typically takes a couple of hours and patients are sent home the same day. No drains are used.
Post Breast Reduction discomfort is managed with oral pain medication and close follow up will be performed by Dr. Humble. No sutures have to be removed since the sutures typically will be absorbable.
Patients typically return to work 1 week after their operation and aerobic exercise can be restarted one month after surgery.
Your new breasts will achieve their final shape/position approximately a couple of months after your surgery. For more information about our Houston/ Sugar Land Breast Reduction procedure please schedule your free consultation or email us any questions by clicking here.
