Toronto-Area and North York Breast Reduction – Ease Your Pain, Look and Feel Better

Because breasts that are too large for a woman’s body can be extremely painful – causing you chronic shoulder, neck, back, and joint pain – and can keep a woman from feeling fully confident in her appearance, women in the North York and Toronto area often undergo breast reduction surgery performed by plastic cosmetic surgeon Dr. Sean Brian Rice. The procedure can relieve women of painfully large breasts while boosting their self-confidence. Large, pendulous breasts also can prevent women from wearing the fashionable clothes they wish they could wear. Many women are surprised to learn that breast reduction surgery most often is considered a medically necessary procedure that is covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.

Breast Reduction Procedure

At the office of Dr. Sean Brian Rice, serving the North York and Toronto area, a breast reduction procedure begins with a private consultation. Dr. Rice will discuss your goals for the procedure and whether those are realistic expectations given your current physical condition, as well as other considerations. Dr. Rice will show you how much your breasts can be reduced and give you a clear idea of how your breasts will look after the procedure.

During the surgery, Dr. Rice will make incisions in the breasts, removing fat, tissue, and skin from the area before carefully reshaping the breasts into a more appealing form. The type and direction of incisions made depend on the size of your breasts, the amount of reduction desired, and other factors.

Breast Reduction Recovery

Women considering breast reduction surgery should be aware that, because it is a major surgical procedure, a full physical recovery can take several weeks.

Most women who undergo breast reduction surgery can return to work after 10 days to two weeks, but strenuous activity – including sexual activity and arousal, which could cause your breasts to become enflamed around the incisions – is to be strictly avoided for at least three weeks after your surgery.

Breast Reduction Risks

Breast reduction is a major surgical procedure, often requiring the removal of a substantial amount of body tissue. Therefore, it does carry with it some inherent risks. Infection, loss of nipple sensation, complete or partial loss of the nipple/areola, asymmetrical breasts, and uneven nipple height are all possible side effects after surgery. However, qualified cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Brian Rice, whose patients throughout the North York and Toronto area have enjoyed dramatic transformations with breast reduction surgery, prides himself on delivering amazing results while avoiding these and other complications to the greatest extent possible.

Combining Breast Reduction with Other Surgeries

Many women who undergo breast reduction combine their surgery with other procedures. The most common is combining a breast reduction with a tummy tuck. Dr. Rice can discuss these options with you at your consultation.
