General
Thousands of women have experienced improved body contour, less pain, and are more comfortable engaging in physical activities due to breast reduction surgery.
Breast reduction (or reduction mammaplasty) is a procedure that reshapes the breasts in order to make them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Reduction is accomplished by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Women who take advantage of the breast reduction procedure find that they are able to lead a healthier and more comfortable life. The other good news is that most insurance companies will pay part or all of the costs of this surgery if it is performed as a result of back or neurological problems related to large breasts. Dr. Dixon’s office staff will provide assistance with your insurance questions.
For pain management, Dr. Dixon utilized the ON-Q PainBuster (www.AskYourSurgeon.com) which administers a local numbing medicine for up to 72 hours post operatively. This reduces the level of acute pain and makes our patients more comfortable. The pain pump is removed at your first follow up appointment.
