Stony Brook, NY ( connect2business ) July 29, 2013 - For many women, large breasts can cause a number of unwanted effects, like back, neck, shoulder, and breast pain. Additionally, it can be damaging to a woman's posture, and may even lead to spinal problems. For those women who are negatively affected by the size of their breasts, breast reduction - also known as reduction mammaplasty - offers a solution. Stony Brook, NY plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Epstein took the time to discuss the different breast reduction options available for patients.

"It's no secret that large breasts can have damaging consequences for women," Dr. Epstein explains. "In addition to the physical effects, women may also attract unwanted attention, causing psychosocial discomfort, low self-esteem, and more. Breast reductions seek to fix these problems, helping to reduce pain and other health risks while restoring confidence and positive self-image."

"For those who are exploring breast reduction, there are a number of different options available," offers Dr. Epstein. "Patients with large, heavy breasts may benefit the most from traditional breast reduction surgery, while those who are looking for shapelier breasts with less scarring may opt for short scar (scar around the nipple and a vertical scar from nipple to breast crease), or vertical incision breast reduction. For women with the largest possible breasts, free-nipple graft breast reduction is likely the most suitable option. Additionally, my breast reduction procedures are done without the use of drains, helping promote faster healing, reducing the chance of fluid accumulation, and eliminating the need to care for them after the procedure."

Detailing some of the patient-side benefits of breast reduction, Dr. Epstein explains, "Due to the many different breast reduction techniques I offer, patients can select a method that is suited to their unique, individual needs. Those whose breasts are causing them pain or discomfort will be able to see their strain reduced or eliminated, their posture corrected, and their confidence restored."

Offering his thoughts on why patients should explore breast reduction, Dr. Epstein concluded with this: "The negative effects of large breasts can be serious if they are not properly attended to. Breast reduction surgery offers an effective solution for patients, and we encourage anyone interested to contact us and learn more."
