Breast Reduction in Marin County
Breast Reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and shape of the breasts by removing excess skin and underlying breast tissue. It also reduces the size of the nipple-aerola complex which frequently becomes enlarged as the result of breast development. The results are breasts that are higher, smaller, and more shapely.
If you have large pendulous breasts, a variety of medical conditions can result:
Shoulder "grooving" due to bra straps
Back and neck pain
Difficulty breathing
Irritation to the crease of the breasts
Feeling self-conscious
Difficulty with physical activity
Postural changes
Difficulty fitting in clothes
For these reasons, most insurance plans provide coverage for breast reduction procedures.However, it can be a purely cosmetic procedure for women are self-conscious about their breast size. The procedure is permanent, although breast size can change due to weight gain or loss.
Patient Testimonials
J.G. - Finding the right plastic surgeon can be a very challenging experience. You want to find one that not only has expert skills but also understands exactly what your own personal goals are.
After meeting with several plastic surgeons, I met with Dr. Delgado. I had checked his credentials and knew he had the experience and training that was important to me. And then when I met with him I felt an immediate sense that he really understood what I was hoping to achieve, his suggestions were excellent and I am thrilled with my results.
Julie Hemming - I had a tummy tuck and liposuction of my back by Dr. Miguel Delgado. I am so happy with the results of my surgery. I have a whole new body that I can be proud of, my clothes fit better. I can't stop looking in the mirror at my flat stomach, no more pooching belly. The care I received was personal and professional. Dr. Delgado is a meticulous surgeon and takes great pride in his work. His care and sensitivity made my recovery with the last amount of effort. I highly recommend Dr. Delgado for your surgical needs.
Millie - After years and years of considering breast augmentation, I finally decided to look into it. I researched all topics and studies on implants on the internet and had consultations with 5 qualified surgeons. I knew Dr. Delgado was the best choice. I knew I was going to be a difficult case because of my structure and I felt I could trust Dr. Delgado. I am thrilled with the result! I know I made the best choice. I couldn't be happier! - Patient wishes to remain anonymous
Dennis - I have been a client of Dr. Delgado's since April, 1996. At the time, I had been considering cosmetic surgery for a few years, and was naturally apprehensive about my initial consultation with Dr. Delgado. Dr. Delgado sensed my nervousness and immediately put me at ease. In addition to his graciousness and professional demeanor, he answered all my questions in a forthright and specific manner. I was so pleased with the final outcome of my procedure that the following year I had several other procedures performed, including liposuction and facial laser resurfacing. I am thrilled with the results and have only the highest regard for Dr. Delgado, both as a physician and as a person.
Inge - Dr. Delgado is very conscientious, kind, and personable. I have had only wonderful experiences with him and his staff. My thighs and tummy are beautiful and scarring from my tummy tuck is quickly fading away.
Jeannie - (not her real name) I was impressed with Dr. Delgado's attention to new techniques and his dedication to his profession. The day of my eyelift I felt extremely nervous, but was quickly put at ease by the doctor's staff. After the surgery, which took place in Dr. Delgado's office, his staff made sure I had everything I needed at home and helped immensely. My blepharoplasty was remarkably painless, and I am thrilled with the results!
Jeannie - AGAIN! I returned to Dr. Delgado for my tummy tuck. After bearing a couple of
10 1/2 lb. babies, I look like I'm 19 again (well, at least my tummy does).
Alyce - Dr. Delgado is more than an excellent surgeon, he is also an artist, a sculptor of bodies. He is only satisfied with a job that's done right. He made me feel safe and confident and I was always treated with friendly respect.
