As with all procedures we offer at Chrysalis Cosmetics, the effects of breast reduction surgery can be life-changing. Dr. Charles Perry has found that his breast reduction patients often
experience a boost in confidence – a byproduct of having more proportionate breasts and being able to wear a larger range of clothing. In addition to these aesthetic advantages, a breast reduction can greatly reduce the physical burdens of overly large breasts, which frequently include muscle pain and skin irritation.
With all this in mind, many patients wonder whether the results of this surgery are permanent. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), breast reduction results are generally long-lasting, with patients typically enjoying the benefits of a smaller, more manageable breast size for several years.*
That said, certain factors can influence the longevity of breast reduction results, such as weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process. These phenomena can cause the skin to lose elasticity, ptosis (or “breast sagging”) to develop, and the breasts to enlarge. For this reason, Dr. Perry encourages his breast reduction patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, he advises patients who plan to breastfeed in the future to consider waiting until they complete their families to pursue a breast reduction, as the effects of breast enhancement surgery can be disrupted by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
While no surgical procedure can entirely halt the effects of time and nature, a breast reduction at Chrysalis Cosmetics can deliver an enduring improvement. To learn more about the long-term results of breast reduction surgery, schedule your consultation with Dr. Perry today!
