Is Breast Reduction Right For Me?

Denver, Colorado

Cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision that can help you rediscover your self-esteem and enhance the way others see you. At his Colorado cosmetic surgery center, Denver cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nick Slenkovich devotes his work to helping people discover themselves and take pride in their appearance.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is designed to help women who have difficulty performing everyday tasks, exercising and who may suffer from health issues as a result of having overly large breasts. There is also a sense of self-esteem and pride in one's own appearance that is often out of reach for women who suffer with excessively large breasts.

The breast reduction procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The nipples and the pigmented areas around the nipples (areolas) are moved upward. Excess breast tissue, fat and skin are then removed. Dr. Nick performs a limited-scar technique with this surgery for most patients, which often eliminates long scars under the breasts.

Following the procedure, you will go home with a bra or dressing that holds the breasts symmetrically in place. You may resume light activities in a week to ten days and scars typically fade in six to twelve months.

The Breast Reduction Consultation

Your confidential consultation is designed to allow you, and your significant other or spouse if applicable, the opportunity to get to know Dr. Slenkovich and to learn everything there is to know about any procedures you are considering. You should make a list of questions about the procedure and recovery. Be prepared to spend more than an hour with Dr. Slenkovich in order to develop a comfortable relationship that focuses on honesty and communication.

Determining if breast reduction surgery is right for you is a personal journey that can lead to a brand new lease on life. Colorado plastic surgeon, Dr. Nick Slenkovich believes in arming potential patients with up-to-date information and education so that they can make an informed decision as to whether or not breast surgery is right for them.
