Breast reduction surgery is one of the most effective ways to remove excess breast tissue, reduce breast size, reduce fat and breast volume, and alleviate physical discomfort (such as shoulder pain) common with large breasts. Although a reduction mammoplasty procedure is common among plastic surgeons, seeking out an expert can produce excellent results. Surgical technique matters when it comes to breast reduction results, and our highly-specialized team can ensure a great experience with breast reduction surgery and liposuction assisted breast reduction.
Our providers are always looking for the latest and safest in breast reduction techniques so we can provide our patients with the best experience possible. Whether it’s anesthesia before surgery or recovery treatments to significantly reduce the risk of complications, you can be sure you’re receiving the best in patient safety when you decide to undergo breast reduction surgery with us.
Advanced Techniques During Your Breast Reduction Procedure
Contamination and glandular tissue trauma are two of the primary causes of swelling, skin irritation, and pain after breast reduction surgery. Our team takes every step to reduce contamination, preserve blood supply, and ensure careful handling of the breast tissue, helping shorten your recovery time. We’ll also choose incision patterns that maintain as much nipple sensation as possible. These different techniques can ensure a smooth and successful reduction mammaplasty experience with few potential complications.
Pectoralis Blocks with Exparel
At Iowa Breast Reduction, we utilize pectoralis blocks with Exparel. What is that? It’s a long-acting local anesthetic that has been shown to reduce the use of pain medication or narcotics after breast reduction surgery. It not only makes for a more comfortable recovery but also helps to facilitate a smoother, less dependent post-operative experience.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)
To reduce complications and promote healing, we also offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). By delivering oxygen right to the affected tissue, you can heal and return to your normal routine much quicker.
Closed Incision Wound VACs – The Bellaform from 3M
We also incorporate closed incision wound VACs into the surgical and recovery process at Iowa Breast Reduction. More specifically, we use the Bellaform from 3M in our breast reduction surgeries. This technology has been shown to decrease wound healing complications and ensure patients have a safe recovery and better results. It can easily be combined with a surgical bra used in post-surgical recovery.
Protecting your incision is important to your recovery.
An incision is a cut through the skin and tissue of the body that is made during surgery and then closed using products such as sutures, staples, or a combination of these methods. Incisions heal at the skin surface as well as below. Taking care of your incision is a key step that may impact both your recovery time and your quality of life.
Toggle To See Real Patient Results
see what you COULD look like
One of the hardest parts of getting cosmetic surgery is knowing what you’ll look like after the procedure is done. Our providers can describe the procedure and the results perfectly, but being unable to see it can make some patients apprehensive. With the Crisalix 3D Imaging software, you can actually see a visualization of your “after” pictures.
At Iowa Breast Reduction, we are proud to offer the Crisalix 3D imaging technology. This game-changing tool allows you to see your “after” before you ever schedule your procedure.
