Nguyen is a Houston, TX plastic surgeon who continues to help countless women get back their confidence and resume a worthwhile lifestyle through surgical reduction of the breasts.

This surgery is helpful for women who experience stress and emotional anxiety or find it difficult to lead an active life because of the weight of their breasts. Also, if you deal with ongoing skin rashes or irritations as well as back or neck pain, this surgery can eliminate many of these annoyances. It is important patients are at a normal weight, and find a trained surgeon who understands their desired outcome and has the aptitude to produce a pleasing and natural appearance.

Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient process and is performed with general anesthesia. The timing of surgery is dependent upon various factors, including the complexity of the incision, the overall reduction technique, and finally, how much reduction is required For most patients, liposuction is used for fat and tissue elimination to decrease the breast size. During the private consultation, all of these factors are addressed. The issue surrounding scarring is also scrupulously discussed as it is common for visible scar lines to occur. However, surgical skill and advanced methods have led to a noticeable reduction in the visibility of scarring. Depending on the intricacy of the reduction, either an anchor or a vertical incision will be incorporated. The breast tissue will then be removed, and the existing tissue and skin pulled tight and secured. Nipple and areola repositioning or reduction is also a major factor in a breast reduction surgery. Dr. Phi will prioritize your requests and aesthetic goals while repositioning and resizing your nipples and areolas in a visually appealing, practical manner.

After surgery, you will be observed closely in our comfortable recovery space and then discharged home to begin the healing process. A small, tube-like draining device will most likely be implanted near the surgical site to reduce drainage from swelling and bleeding. A medical sports bra will be put in place for several days that will boost blood flow to the breasts during the initial healing period. Within about a month, the breasts will position themselves and settle and the post-op effects will go away. The vast selection of our patients remark they feel less weight and more reassured. After breast reduction surgery, you can enjoy the clothes you could not wear before and feel enthusiastic with your new figure.
