What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction in Fort Worth is a procedure in which oversized breasts are made smaller. Also known as reduction mammoplasty, breast reduction is among the most common cosmetic surgery procedures undergone by women. It involves removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body.
On top of suffering from large breast discomfort, oversized breasts can cause chronic shoulder, neck, and back pain. They can make exercise and daily activities difficult, uncomfortable, and painful. This procedure not only alleviates physical discomfort but also enhances the overall aesthetic appearance of the breasts.

What to Expect During a Breast Reduction Consultation
If you want to get a breast reduction in Fort Worth, you will first need to be evaluated by Dr. Louis Strock during a consultation. The evaluation will include a breast exam, mammograms, a complete medical history, and lab tests. Dr. Strock will go over the procedure details, and you can ask any questions you may have.
Once the surgery is scheduled, you will need to stop taking specific medications to reduce the chance of bleeding. You will also have to stop smoking at least two weeks before the surgery to reduce the risk of necrosis and other possible complications.
The Procedure
Dr. Strock performs breast reduction surgery under general anesthesia. He will mark the areas where the incisions are to be made. It will depend on how much fat, skin, and/or glandular breast tissue will be removed.
The largest amount of tissue can be removed with the anchor incision, also called the inverted-T incision. A moderate amount can be reduced with the lollipop incision, and a smaller amount can be removed using the donut incision.
Excess tissues are removed after the chosen incisions are made to reshape the breasts. The nipples and areolae may need to be resized and repositioned. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures.
What Is Involved in Post-Operative Care?
Once the surgery is done, the breasts are wrapped in bandages. Small tubes may be inserted to drain fluid and reduce swelling. Pain medication will be prescribed.
Full breast reduction recovery can take up to a month. During recovery, following Dr. Strock’s post-surgical care instructions will be very important. As part of the recovery process, you should not shower until drainage tubes have been removed. It is best to have help for a few days, as you may be unable to lift your arms and do regular activities.
You will need to wear a support bra for six to eight weeks after surgery to help with support and minimize swelling. You should not lift weights or participate in other physically taxing activities since they can stretch the pectoral muscles and make the sutures split.
