Breast Reduction
When Does It All Become Too Much...
Maybe it becomes too much when you find it difficult to maintain a healthy posture, or when the pain in your neck or back becomes almost unbearable, or when your shoulders suffer from indentations caused by your bra straps. Maybe it becomes too much when an irritating and unsightly rash forms under your breasts, when you experience difficulty breathing, or when the constant - and inappropriate - comments and staring result in feelings of insecurity.
If you're experiencing any of the above, you probably suffer from large, pendulous breasts that not only keep you from enjoying all that San Diego has to offer, but all that you as an individual have to offer as well. If so, it's probably why you're here; it's all become too much. The fact is, it's probably been too much for much too long now.
It's okay. It may be too much, but it's not too late to do something about it. Now.

... And When It Does, What Can You Do About It?
Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do about excessively large breasts. Fortunately, there's a lot Dr. Chaffoo can do - technically, it's called reduction mammaplasty, although here in San Diego, most women simply call it breast reduction. And, because large breasts can be responsible for both physical and psychological problems, many insurance companies cover breast reduction, calling it a medical necessity. You just might call it a miracle.
Triple board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chaffoo has the experience and the expertise to not only help you reduce the size of your breasts, but also improve their shape. At your consultation in either La Jolla or Murrieta, he will share with you the options for producing a more proportional appearance. He will also discuss in detail what to expect with your breast enhancement including:
- Whether a mammogram or other work-up will be necessary prior to your breast enhancement
- Surgical technique specific to your anatomy
- Both the size and location of incisions
- Recovery, and
- Risks
Here in San Diego, breast reduction is safe and effective, taking just 2 to 4 hours, during which Dr. Chaffoo removes excess skin and fat. Liposuction might also be employed. Because glandular tissue (tissue involved in producing milk) is also removed, you will want to inform Dr. Chaffoo if you plan to breast-feed. Breast lift is a part of every breast reduction procedure, along with nipple and areola repositioning. After about 2 weeks, you should be back at work and well on your way to smaller, lighter, firmer and more flattering breasts. You can also experience improved self-esteem and a reduction in or even elimination of neck, shoulder and back pain, as well as bra strap grooves.
