Considering a Breast Reduction or Breast Lift with Dr. Boyd?

What Are These Procedures?

Dr. Boyd offers two options to help you feel better about your breasts: breast reduction and breast lift (mastopexy). They can even be combined if needed! Here’s the difference in simple terms:

• Breast Reduction: Removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to make your breasts smaller, lighter, and more comfortable—perfect if large breasts cause pain or get in your way.

• Breast Lift: Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts to a higher, perkier position without changing their size much—ideal if you love your size but want a youthful boost.

Dr. Boyd can tailor either (or both) to your needs for a result that’s just right for you.

Why Choose Dr. Boyd?

• Experience: Dr. Boyd is a skilled plastic surgeon with a knack for creating natural, balanced outcomes.

• Personal Touch: He listens to your concerns—whether it’s back pain from heavy breasts or sagging from life’s changes—and designs a plan just for you.

• Support: Dr. Boyd and his team are here to guide you with care and understanding every step of the way.

What’s Involved?

• Breast Reduction: Dr. Boyd removes extra tissue, fat, and skin, then reshapes your breasts. The nipple and areola are often repositioned higher for a lifted look too.

• Breast Lift: Dr. Boyd tightens sagging skin and repositions the breast tissue and nipple/areola for a perkier shape, without removing much volume.

• Combined Option: If you want smaller and lifted breasts, Dr. Boyd can do both in one surgery—reducing size while lifting for the best of both worlds.

What to Expect

• Consultation: Chat with Dr. Boyd about your goals—less weight, more lift, or both. He’ll check your health and suggest incision options (often around the areola, down to the crease, or along the fold).

• Surgery: Done under general anesthesia in a modern facility, taking 2-4 hours depending on the plan.

• Recovery: 

  • First Few Days: Rest with a surgical bra; expect swelling and mild discomfort. Drains might be used briefly to reduce fluid.

  • Weeks 1-2: Take it slow—no heavy lifting. Dr. Boyd provides pain relief guidance.

  • Weeks 6+: Resume normal life as healing wraps up. Final results show in 3-6 months.

• Follow-Up: Dr. Boyd’s team keeps tabs on your progress with personalized check-ins.

Benefits

• Reduction: Less strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, plus easier movement and clothing fit.

• Lift: A perkier, youthful shape that boosts your confidence and wardrobe options.

• Combined: Smaller, lifted breasts that feel and look amazing.

Risks to Know

Both surgeries may involve risks like scarring, infection, or changes in sensation (usually temporary). Dr. Boyd will explain these and how he works to keep them minimal.

Is It Right for You?

• Reduction: Great if large breasts cause physical discomfort or limit your activities.

• Lift: Perfect if sagging bothers you but you’re happy with your size.

• Both: Ideal if you want smaller breasts and a lifted look in one go. You should be healthy, at a stable weight, and ready for a change!
