This gallery shows a breast reduction before and after photo from a CG Cosmetic patient in Miami who agreed to share it. The photos show front and side views, so you can compare breast size, shape, and position, along with the scars. A single example cannot show the range of possible outcomes.
Most patients can return to work after about two weeks, once stitches are removed. A specialized surgical bra is worn for several weeks, and heavy lifting is avoided during that time. Swelling, bruising, and some pain are expected during recovery. Scarring and changes in nipple sensation are possible. Results vary, and a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon decides candidacy.
