Breast Reduction Surgery, also known as Reduction Mammaplasty, is intended to reduce the size of your breasts by removing excess breast tissue and skin, whilst lifting and reshaping. Overly large breasts often cause physical discomfort, including back, neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet has continued to refine his surgical techniques and provides an individualised surgical plan to address each patient’s unique concerns. First and foremost, Breast Reduction surgery is performed for medical and functional reasons – relieving pain and discomfort.
This is one of the more popular cosmetic procedures and has one of the highest satisfaction rates. It is life-changing!
The breast reduction procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 2 and 3 hours.
A boat anchor or vertical only incision, according to the situation, will be made to remove excess glandular tissue, fat and skin. Then, the nipple will be repositioned so that it is centered on your breast.
Like you, we want scars to be the least visible possible. This is why the incisions will be carefully closed using melting points. The final result is visible after 3 months.
In terms of breast reduction weight requirements, your BMI must be below 30 prior to proceeding with surgery. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet wants to ensure his patients achieve the best results from their surgery.
Overly developed breasts can lead to a number of undesirable health conditions, such as back, neck and shoulder pain, sleeping issues and even skin conditions. Quite apart from the physical challenges, woman with overly large breasts usually face an equally difficult emotional burden. The issues of self-consciousness and insecurity that so often accompany this condition are very real and are usually reason enough to consider breast reduction surgery.

Then, the nipple will be repositioned so that it is centered on your breast. Like you, we want scars to be as invisible as possible.

Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery lasts about two to three hours.
Indeed. To perform a breast reduction covered by the RAMQ, you must remove at least 250 grams of gland per breast, you must respect your healthy weight and not plan to become pregnant for a year.
The healing process takes some time. Besides, you will only see the final result after a full year. For two months after the procedure, your scars will be red. Then, over the months, they will fade away and become more and more discreet throughout the following 12 months. You can enhance healing by applying vitamin E every day, starting in the fourth week.
You can return to work about a week or two after the procedure, but you may have to wait up to four weeks if your job requires physical labor. Physical activities can be gradually resumed about three weeks later.
Getting a procedure is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.
