Breast Reduction Beverly Hills | Los Angeles

Women with large, sagging breasts often develop neck pain, back pain, improper posture, shoulder grooving, bra strap indentations, severe irritation underneath their breasts and rashes in their breast fold (intertrigo). Furthermore, it can be difficult for women with large breasts to find clothing that fits properly as well as causing difficulty exercising and participating in sports. Lastly, large breasts can make some women feel “top heavy”, overweight and/or self-conscious about their breasts. After breast reduction surgery all of these symptoms typically resolve.  Patients are also able to exercise and be more active after the surgery which makes weight loss easier and allows them the ability to perform physical activities that were difficult or impossible prior to the surgery.

Breast Reduction surgery is a procedure that reduces the weight and size of a woman’s breast as well as providing lift and reduction in the size of the areolas. During the surgery, the excess breast skin, fat and tissue are removed and the remaining tissue is shaped into smaller, perkier shaped breasts. Even though a breast reduction is not often considered a cosmetic procedure, Dr Motykie takes great pride in trying to artistically create youthful, symmetric, perky breasts during every breast reduction surgery. A breast reduction surgery greatly improves a woman’s quality of life and the healing process is often said to be almost painless. Although there are almost always scars with breast reduction surgery, Dr Motykie places the incisions in areas that can be hidden by bras and bathing suits tops. In addition, the scars tend to fade to thin white lines over time and there are currently numerous scar prevention modalities available to patients as well as laser scar removal. In some cases, scarless breast reduction can be performed utilizing liposuction to decrease the volume of the breasts. This technique can only be performed in certain circumstances which depend on the position of the nipples on the breast mound and patients personal goals from the surgery. Lastly, if you suffer physical pain, discomfort or other disabilities as a result of oversized breasts, breast reduction may be covered by your medical insurance.

CONSULTATION

During your consultation, Dr Motykie will address your desires from breast reduction surgery and he will give you a clearer understanding of how this type of surgery may best be able to meet your own needs and expectations.  Dr Motykie will also give you an opportunity to ask him any question you may have as well as its possible benefits in your particular case. When going into your consultation, it is wise to come with questions written down and have a general understanding of the overall procedure so you can be prepared to learn as much as possible during your visit with Dr Motykie. Sometime during your consultation Dr Motykie may have you look through a “breast book” that contains numerous photographs of different types, shapes and sizes of breasts in order to help you determine what type of breast you personally find attractive as well as which type of implant and revision augmentation technique may best help you to achieve your desired outcome from surgery. You are also encouraged to bring in photographs you may have obtained on your own from magazines or various internet websites which show the desired “look” you would like to achieve from surgery. Dr Motykie has found that looking through these types of photographs as well as reviewing his personal breast augmentation portfolio is much more helpful in determining the true breast size and shape you desire from surgery rather than techniques that employ stuffing bras with various filler materials, trying on misleading sizing implants or undergoing visual imaging techniques.

There are a great deal of variables to consider when undergoing a breast surgery so it is important to make sure that your desires from surgery our expressed to your surgeon as well as making certain that your surgeon is listening to you and understands exactly the look, shape and size breasts you want to achieve from surgery. If this is not done effectively, your desired results from surgery and your surgeons desired results from surgery may not match and you may end up with the breasts the surgeon wanted to create and not the breasts you had envisioned from surgery.  This is why Dr Motykie spends a great deal of time talking to you about your specific goals from surgery as well as having your look through photographs of different breast surgery results. Dr. Motykie is a world renowned expert in breast surgery. His experience with breast procedures has made him a sought after expert. Dr Motykie finds that the key to success in breast surgery is to individualize the surgical plan to match each patient’s needs and goals. Don’t trust your breast surgeon to just any plastic surgeon.
