Breast Reduction New York
Breast Reduction New York is sought by many women to relieve the physical restrictions and painful strain on neck, shoulders and back caused by excessively heavy breasts -- a strain that can be so severe that it leads to chronic headaches, back and neck deformities, shoulder indentations, breathing problems, skin irritation and a variety of other medical problems.
A breast reduction in new york surgery, technically called mammaplasty, is usually performed for physical relief rather than for cosmetic reasons. This procedure involves removal of excess breast tissue to reshape and lift the breasts. The results are smaller, lighter, better-shaped breasts that are in better proportion with the rest of the body.
Because of the functional problems associated with extremely
large breasts, insurance will often cover the cost of this surgery.
If you're considering breast reduction, the following information
will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure. For

we recommend that you consult Dr. Rothaus who is board certified..
Of all plastic surgery procedures, Breast Reduction New York has the most immediate dramatic results. The chronic physical discomfort is gone, the body is better proportioned, and clothes fit better. Some women find that as much as they have desired these changes, they need time to adjust to their new body image. After this adjustment period, most women are very happy with the results.
Dr. Rothaus, plastic surgeon in Manhattan, will make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible, but the scarring from this surgery is fairly extensive and permanent. These scars are long, and they remain pink or brown for several years. For some women, the scars become wider; but for others, they fade and become less noticeable. (Poor healing and wider scars are more common in smokers.) Fortunately, the scars are placed in areas that are not seen unless you are topless, and can be hidden by most bathing suits.
Future breast-feeding may not be possible, since the surgery removes many of the milk ducts leading to the nipples.
