Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do on your own about excessively large breasts. Fortunately, there's a lot Dr. Chaffoo can do in La Jolla with a breast reduction (technically called "reduction mammaplasty"). 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.

Breast Reduction in San Diego

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, 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 reduction including:

• Whether a mammogram or other work-up will be necessary prior to your breast reduction
• Surgical technique specific to your anatomy
• Both the size and location of incisions
• Recovery
• Risks

Breast reduction in San Diego is safe and effective, taking just 2 to 4 hours, during which Dr. Chaffoo removes excess skin and fat. San Diego 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.
