Extremely large breasts can cause physical and emotional discomfort. Breast reduction can eliminate the shoulder and back pain caused by heavy breasts. Dr. Louis Cutolo creates lighter, smaller breasts that are aesthetically pleasing by reducing, lifting, and reshaping the breasts.
Dr. Cutolo performs breast reduction on an outpatient basis in a fully accredited hospital to ensure the safest, most comfortable experience. Most of Dr. Cutolo's breast reduction patients do not require an overnight stay in the hospital.
The most common method for breast reduction involves a "lollipop" incision that circles the areola and then descends in a vertical line down the underside of the breast. In more difficult cases, an additional incision may be used to create a "keyhole" pattern. Dr. Cutolo then removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Sometimes, he also performs liposuction to allow for more refined contouring.
Dr. Cutolo's breast reduction patients report increased self confidence and an improved body image. They are pleased with their ability to exercise without pain and their improved body shape.
