Will breast reduction surgery affect my ability to breastfeed in the future?
While breast reduction surgery may affect breastfeeding ability, many women can still successfully nurse after the procedure. The outcome depends on the surgical technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss your future breastfeeding plans with Dr. Vigo during consultation.
How long will the results of breast reduction surgery last?
Breast reduction results are generally permanent, but factors like significant weight changes, pregnancy, or aging can affect breast size and shape. Maintaining a stable weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet helps preserve long-term results.
What’s the ideal age to undergo breast reduction surgery?
There’s no specific ideal age for breast reduction surgery. However, it’s best to wait until breast development is complete, usually around age 18.
Does insurance typically cover breast reduction surgery?
Many insurance providers cover breast reduction surgery when it’s deemed medically necessary. Coverage usually requires documentation of physical symptoms like back pain, neck strain, or skin irritation. Check with your insurance provider about specific coverage requirements.
How soon can I return to work after breast reduction surgery?
Most patients can return to desk jobs within 1-2 weeks after surgery. However, jobs requiring physical activity may require 3-4 weeks of recovery. Dr. Vigo will provide specific guidance based on your occupation and recovery progress.
