Macromastia, or large breasts can cause health and emotional issues, may impair your ability to lead an active life, or may be causing you pain and discomfort.
Teens can benefit from breast reduction surgery to:
Reduce back pain & prevent skin irritation
Increase physical activity and participation in sports
Improve proportion of body to find clothes that fit
Improve confidence
Our Breast Clinic provides a comfortable environment for patients considering breast reduction surgery. We provide an educational notebook for every patient that includes general information about breast reduction surgery, surgical information, expectations, and questions you may want to ask your surgeon.
We are currently seeing female patients, ages 16-18 years, in a Shared Group Appointment (SMA) setting. This means that a small group of patients will be seen together for a 30 minute group presentation to address important surgical information, pre and post-operative instructions, and also gives the group an opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and experiences in a supportive environment (made up of mothers/guardians and daughters). Any information shared in the group appointment will be kept confidential.
After the session you (and/or your child) will also be seen by the plastic surgeon in a private exam room for a physical exam and to discuss your individualized needs and plan for treatment.
