Breast Reduction in Scottsdale, AZ

Dr. Prichard offers a breast reduction for patients who feel they could do with a little downsizing in their lives. Dr. Prichard delivers some of the best breast reduction Phoenix has to offer.

Women with larger breasts tend to struggle with finding clothes, as there are far more restrictions in what clothes will be comfortable as well as flattering. Other issues you may find yourself facing are uncomfortable and unappealing bra strap grooves, lower back, and neck pain, insecurity in one’s personal image, and even a daily irritation with the size of one’s breasts. Breast reduction surgery can be a way of alleviating yourself from such troubles.

About the procedure

Breast reduction surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure using IV sedation or general anesthesia, which is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The exact techniques used in the surgery will be determined by the measure of reduction that is being asked. The surgery may only require incisions that encircle the areolas. It may require additional vertical and crescent-shaped incisions underneath the nipples. Through the incisions, Dr. Prichard removes the undesired breast tissue, fat, and skin. Dr. Prichard will then reform the breasts. The precise details and methods of the surgery can be reviewed during your private consultation with Dr. Prichard.
