Breast Reduction in Washington, D.C.
Schedule Your Consultation
Women with large, cumbersome breasts can experience great discomfort and are often self-conscious about their appearance.
Breasts that are too large for your frame can interfere with your regular activities and may even cause extreme pain.
Who Can Benefit?
If you’re considering breast augmentation surgery, you may fall into one of the following breast type categories.
Heavy, Painful Breasts
Larger breasts tend to weigh more. This, combined with gravity, can place unnecessary strain on your shoulders and back. Cumbersome breasts can lead to poor posture, which causes upper and lower back aches. Bra straps can also cut deep, painful grooves into the shoulders.
Poor Breast Balance
Women with a bigger bustline may feel that their breasts are disproportionate to the rest of their body. Poor breast balance can affect the type of clothing you can wear and how you view your body. Overly large breasts can draw unwanted attention to your bustline.
Lifestyle Dissatisfaction
For women with ample breasts, the lack of clothing options and unwanted attention can take an emotional toll. Many women are frustrated that their breasts prevent them from engaging in physical activities they love and exercise to improve their health. In some cases, breast size may also cause embarrassment.

Lighter Breasts
During breast reduction surgery, excess breast tissue and fat are permanently removed from the chest. This process significantly reduces the size and weight of cumbersome breasts. Lighter breasts provide you with a more comfortable range of movement, allowing you to engage in a wider number of the physical activities and exercise routines you love. Being able to be more active has health and emotional benefits, possibly leading to an overall more fit appearance. A reduction in your breast weight can also provide significant relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Improved Breast Shape
During your breast reduction, Dr. Davison can shape your breast tissue to provide a new and improved breast shape. Larger breasts can lack definition at the inframammary line and the cleavage. Shaping your breasts can help create a more balanced breast appearance. In addition to reducing the size, enhancing the overall placement of your breasts can restore a more sensual curvature to your breasts and body. Liposuction may be used to define the silhouette of your breasts for a more attractive appearance.
Firmer Breast Appearance
Women with larger breasts often find that they have some degree of ptosis (sagging). If a portion of your breast tissue sits below the inframammary line or your nipples have begun to point downwards, you may suffer from breast sagging. During your breast reduction, weak and drooping tissue is lifted and reinforced. This process helps restore firmness to your breasts and adds a more perky aesthetic. Improving breast firmness can provide you with breasts that look and feel more youthful.
Confidence
The emotional burden of having overly large breasts can affect how you view your body. Women whose breasts draw unwanted attention can make them self-conscious and dissatisfied with their appearance. Not being able to find comfortable clothing or having to skip fun activities because of your breast size can impact your overall confidence. The goal of breast reduction surgery is to help you feel happy and comfortable in your body, allowing you to live a life you enjoy.
Addressing Your Concerns
Recovery
It takes between four and six weeks to fully recover from breast reduction surgery. In the initial week, you will be required to wear a support bra and should avoid strenuous physical activities. After two weeks, you will slowly begin to resume your normal activities, but excess physical exertion, such as exercise, should only be done with your surgeon’s permission.
Scars
It is possible for breast reduction to result is some slight scarring that will likely fade over time. Most scarring blends with natural coloring of the areolas, but it may extend down the breasts for some women.
Cost
Many factors affect the cost of breast reduction. Geographical location, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and surgeon fees all affect the ultimate cost of your procedure. However, price should only be one factor in choosing a surgeon. You should never sacrifice quality work by a board-certified plastic surgeon just to save some money; proven results matter. Financing is available if needed.
Pain
There is some slight pain associated with breast reduction surgery. Immediately following your surgery, it is normal to experience redness, bruising, swelling, and soreness. Your chest may feel tight and uncomfortable. To control the pain, you will be prescribed an oral pain medication and should schedule downtime for at least a few days following your surgery.
