Breast Reduction
Women from throughout the country come to Dr. Jack Fisher for breast procedures such as breast reduction at his Nashville practice. Women with overly large breasts often suffer physical discomfort such as shoulder and back pain, indentations in the shoulders from bra straps, breathing problems and skin irritation. Large breasts also may attract unwanted attention and make it difficult to exercise.
In most cases, breast reduction surgery is not performed until the breasts are fully developed; however, as a recognized authority on breast procedures, Dr. Fisher occasionally performs breast reductions in Nashville, TN on younger patients if large breasts are causing serious discomfort. By removing glandular tissue, fat and skin, Dr. Fisher can create more attractive and lighter breasts.

Request Your Consultation Before & After PhotosChoosing Breast Reduction from Dr. Fisher
During your initial consultation, Dr. Fisher will spend as much time as needed to make sure you feel comfortable with not only the procedure but his surgical skills. He will also want you to have all of your questions answered so it is important that you come to the meeting prepared. Write down any questions you have prior to the appointment to make sure to get them addressed.
Additionally, you should be prepared to discuss candidly what your expectations are from the procedure. The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are women who have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished.
Your Surgery & Recovery
Both the surgery and recovery are similar to that of a breast lift. Prior to your surgery, Dr. Fisher will give you preoperative and postoperative instructions to follow. To be prepared for your breast reduction and recovery process, we suggest you follow these instructions closely. Dr. Fisher normally performs breast reduction surgery on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. The breast reduction surgery procedure will be approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Dr. Fisher will require you to wear a surgical bra for the first week after your breast reduction. After seeing Dr. Fisher for your 1 week post operative consultation, you usually can begin wearing your own garments. Although the time period may vary based on your surgery, you generally will need to avoid heavy lifting and excessive exercise for 2 to 3 weeks.
