Breast Reduction

Located in Louisville, KY.

Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction, also known as Reduction Mammaplasty, is a procedure to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with excessively large breasts (macromastia).

At Joseph Banis, MD, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, we offer breast reduction surgery in Louisville for women who want smaller breasts that are better suited for their natural figure. 

BREAST REDUCTION CANDIDATES

Disproportionately large breasts can be an issue for a variety of reasons. They may draw unwanted attention from others, make it difficult to find clothing that fits properly, and some women may find that they can cause self-image issues. 

Women with large breasts may experience more than dissatisfaction with body image, they can also feel physical pain and experience a host of complications that can impair a woman’s ability to lead an active life. Many women experience joint and muscle pain in their neck, shoulder, and back due to the strain their large breasts place on their bodies.

Breast reduction focuses on both reducing the size of the breasts and ensuring the smaller breasts have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The shape and symmetry of the breasts is a main focus to ensure that our patients are both happy with the size and overall appearance of their new breasts. 

During your consultation, one of our experienced plastic surgeons will ask about the issues you are experiencing and ask what your desired goals are for your procedure so that they can let you know if breast reduction surgery is the right choice for you.

Benefits of breast reduction include:

  • Removal of excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with a woman’s body
  • Relief from back and neck pain
  • Improvement in posture
  • Relief from skin rashes
  • Relief from some breathing problems
  • Improvement in skeletal deformities

BREAST REDUCTION RECOVERY

Breast reduction surgery is normally performed under general anesthesia and requires an overnight hospital stay. Swelling, bruising and some downtime are to be expected following your breast reduction surgery in Louisville. Most patients experience minimal discomfort but should plan to take it easy and avoid any heavy lifting for a number of weeks.

Follow-up visits will be scheduled to make sure that you are healing properly. If you experience any issues or concerns during your recovery, please contact your doctor so the issue can be properly examined and diagnosed. 

THE COST OF BREAST REDUCTION

Patient Testimonials

"I can honestly say that I am impressed"

“I have had Ultherapy treatment and I can honestly say that I am impressed. Each treatment brings an immediate tightening effect and then over the next few months you see your skin continue to improve. It is excellent at stimulating the deeper skin layers. The collagen in my face gets a major boost – and so does my confidence level! This is a treatment that actually produces real and noticeable results. I now have a maintenance treatment on a yearly basis. The treatment is completely tolerable with no downtime. In my opinion, there are not too many treatments available that can give you impressive results and no time out for healing, you’re good to go. You should approach the treatment with realistic expectations and afterwards be pleasantly surprised. It is not a miracle worker, but it just might be the next closest thing. My experience has been completely positive and I love to get a big bang for my buck. Ultherapy is an amazing treatment and a very good investment. Aging is inevitable, but who says you can’t do it gracefully and at a slower rate. I will also say that it is incredibly important to have it performed by a trusted provider who is well trained with this procedure. Abby has both the credentials as well as the experience with this treatment and I trust her without reservation. If you are considering Ultherapy, make an appointment with Abby today.”

I have had the pleasure of receiving Ulthera Treatments with Abbey at Dr. Banis’ office for years with excellent results. I continue to do post facelift for a tightening and lifting effect. Even after loosing 20 lbs, Ulthera has been helpful tightening loose skin on my neck.

"I love the results!"

“Every few years, I have an Ultherapy treatment on my face and neck. The treatments have prolonged the need for a facelift. It has tightened, the beginning stages of sagging chin skin and tightened other areas too. I plan on continuing this treatment every few years. I love the results!”
