Breast Reduction
in Little Rock
Breast reduction surgery can provide you with relief from the physical symptoms of large breasts and give you smaller and firmer breasts that are more proportionate. Dr. Suzanne Yee in Little Rock, AR, can reduce the size of your breasts with minimal scarring and a fast recovery time.
What a Breast Reduction Can Do for You
Not all women want to “go bigger” with breast augmentation. A breast reduction (also known as “reduction mammoplasty”) is a form of plastic surgery that removes excess fat, breast tissue, and skin from your breasts to reduce their size.
There are different breast reduction techniques, but Dr. Yee prefers using the tumescent liposuction method. This method can often be completed in under three hours, results in minimal scarring, has fewer risks, and has a quick recovery time when compared to traditional surgical methods.
However, Dr. Yee may recommend traditional breast reduction surgery in certain cases. For example, traditional breast reduction is better suited for women whose breasts are mostly comprised of glandular breast tissue instead of fat.

Recovering From a Tumescent Liposuction Breast Reduction
You can expect minimal pain after your tumescent liposuction breast reduction. Any soreness you experience can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Swelling typically subsides in a few days. Over time, the skin of your breasts will conform to your smaller breast size. Though you’ll see improvement within two weeks, it can take several months to see the final results of your breast reduction.
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work in a day or two and resume their normal activities within two weeks.
During the recovery period, Dr. Yee and her staff will monitor you for post-surgical risks including, hematoma and seroma. Recovery time may take longer for patients who undergo a traditional breast reduction procedure.
Understanding the Risks of Breast Reduction Surgery
Most complications associated with breast reduction surgery are minor, but may include:
- Hematoma: A pooling of blood underneath the skin.
- Seroma: Fluid build-up at the incision site.
- Infection: Can be caused by wound separation or not properly caring for incisions.
- Wound separation: A reopening of the incision that may be caused by overexertion.
- Loss of sensation: Temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the nipple or breast due to the removal of breast tissue.
In addition to the above, there are general surgical risks to consider, including a negative reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, unsafe increase in blood pressure, healing difficulties, and extensive scarring.
Long-term risks after a breast reduction surgery include:
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Uneven areola position
- Permanent loss of sensation
- Inability to breastfeed
Choosing a highly trained cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Yee in Little Rock, AR, can minimize these risks and boost the likelihood of achieving results you will love.
FAQ
Breasts change during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it’s best to have your breast reduction once you’re finished having children. This is similar to what we tell patients interested in a mommy makeover.
Most breasts are fully developed by the age of 17, though some women’s breasts develop into their early twenties. People as young as 18 can schedule a breast reduction with us if they have large breasts that affect their self-esteem or general health.
Tumescent liposuction requires incisions that are so small, they will be virtually unnoticeable. If you have to undergo a traditional surgical option, your plastic surgeon will only make incisions in areas that are well-hidden, like the crease under your breast and below your areola. Post-surgical scars can be difficult to detect, even in revealing clothing.
This surgery can allow women with heavy breasts to feel confident with their figure, wear clothes that fit them, and participate in the physical activities they love. This plastic surgery procedure can also benefit men who have gynecomastia, or enlarged breast tissue.
