Many of Dr. Reath's happiest patients are women who have had breast reduction surgery! Most of them we talk to have back and shoulder pain from the weight of their breasts and have trouble exercising as well as finding clothes that fit. A breast reduction can help.

The goal of the operation is to reduce the breasts to a size more in proportion with the rest of a woman's body. Once they are the desired size, Dr. Reath gives them a lift as well. There are different techniques Dr. Reath uses depending on the size of the breasts to begin with. There will be incisions on the breast itself but he limits them as much as possible.

Here are examples of Dr. Reath's breast reduction patients:

The Operation

The good news is that breast reduction can be performed on an outpatient basis. The operation takes between 3 and 4 hours and women can go home after they have recovered from anesthesia.

Recovery

This is a very well tolerated operation by most women. Generally, their neck and back feel better the night after surgery, than they did prior to the operation. Most women are up and about the day after surgery and generally take between 2 and 3 weeks off from work.
