Contact the offices of Kenneth Bermudez, MD, for more information on breast reduction.
A breast reduction procedure is performed by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kenneth Bermudez, MD while the patient is under general anesthesia, and can be completed on an out-patient basis if the patient so desires. The procedure begins with an incision made around the areola, down to the crease of the breast, then horizontally, forming an anchor shape. Dr. Kenneth Bermudez, MD then removes excess fat, skin, and tissue from the breasts, and he repositions the nipples to a higher location. The procedure typically takes about three to four hours to complete.
There is a possibility that patients will lose feeling in the nipples following the procedure. Dr. Bermudez will discuss all the risks of the procedure with you thoroughly before the operation.
Some discomfort and swelling should be expected during recovery from a breast reduction procedure. However, they should dissipate as the breasts heal. Scarring from the procedure is inevitable, but Dr. Kenneth Bermudez, MD will work to minimize the appearance of scars and make them as discreet as possible. Patients who are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed in the future should discuss this with Dr. Bermudez before considering the procedure.
Breast reduction surgery has some of the highest rates for satisfactory results of any plastic surgery procedure. This procedure relieves San Francisco breast reduction patients of the pain and discomfort, and perhaps embarrassment, of having overly large and heavy breasts.
Dr. Kenneth Bermudez, MD can help patients who suffer from discomfort and self-consciousness due to overly large breasts. In addition, Dr. Bermudez has extensive experience performing other procedures for the breast, including breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, and breast lift. Dr. Bermudez is also proud to have helped numerous male breast reduction patients realize their dreams of a more aesthetically pleasing chest appearance.
