Breast Reduction
Houston breast specialist Dr. Camille Cash says that breast reduction surgery is one of the most rewarding procedures she performs—for her patients and herself. The joyous reactions she sees from her breast reduction patients from Humble, Kingwood, and other nearby communities give her a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
“I have patients who are 15 or 16 years old and so shy and self-conscious that they walk into my office with their shoulders hunched over hiding their bodies. It is amazing to me to watch those same girls transformed into normal, giddy teenagers who are now excited about shopping for prom dresses,” Dr. Cash relates. “I also remember a 64-year-old patient, who after a short scar surgery, was so delighted with her results, she wondered why she did not have the procedure 20 or 30 years ago.”
Don’t wait years to see what a boost breast reduction surgery can offer you. Why not call (713) 571-0600 or request a consultation with Dr. Cash today?

Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction candidates are women who are in good health and have any of the following concerns related to overly large, heavy breasts:
- Physical problems, such as back and shoulder pain, rashes, and insomnia
- Self-consciousness or emotional distress from unwanted attention
- Discomfort when engaging in physical activities
- Difficulty fitting into clothing
Reduction mammaplasty is most often performed on adults, but Dr. Cash does work with younger women in physical and emotional distress. If you are young, it’s important to understand fully how your body will change and to be realistic about the outcome. For example, you’ll need to consider that although you will almost certainly be thrilled with your smaller, lighter breasts, reduction surgery won’t magically grant you the perfect body. And though you may be able to breastfeed in the future, there’s no guarantee.

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction, technically called reduction mammaplasty, involves a circular incision around the areola (the pigmented portion of the breast), a vertical incision extending from the areola to the breast crease, and an incision along the crease. To create a smaller and uplifted breast, Dr. Cash removes excess breast tissue, trims away lax skin, drapes it over the newly shaped breast, and sutures the incision closed. She typically does not use drains for this procedure.
What is the short scar technique for breast reduction?
Short scar breast reduction, best for patients who don’t need an extensive reduction, makes the breasts more resistant to recurrent sagging with minimal scarring. The incision is similar to the short scar (lollipop) breast lift.
Combining Procedures
For some patients, Dr. Cash may use liposuction to remove excess fat from the sides of the chest and back at the same time as their breast reduction. She can also perform a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in conjunction with reduction mammaplasty.

Recovering From Breast Reduction
After breast reduction, patients need several days to rest. Most return to light activities, including work and school, within a week and resume gentle exercise in about three weeks. By six weeks, recovery is largely complete, though you may experience occasional discomfort. Scars will thin and fade gradually for about six months to a year.
Common Questions
How much pain is involved after breast reduction?
Most breast reduction patients characterize their discomfort as moderate. Many take prescription pain medication for just a couple of days; some continue it a bit longer. Almost everyone resumes some activities in about in three or four days, feeling pretty good.
What should I do if one breast is bigger than the other?
In cases of breast asymmetry where one breast is significantly larger than the other, Dr. Cash can perform a unilateral breast reduction.
Will breast reduction leave scars?
Scars are inevitable with any surgery, unfortunately. There’s more than one approach to reduction mammaplasty, and the incisions (and scars) vary with each type of procedure. During your consultation, you and Dr. Cash will decide which method is best for you, and she’ll explain whether you’ll have scars just around your areolas or vertical scars as well. No matter where your scars are placed, the vast majority of patients find them to be quite acceptable once healing is complete.
Can breast reduction reduce the risk of breast cancer?
Medical studies have shown that a future risk of breast cancer may be reduced (but not eliminated) after reduction mammaplasty. After surgery, there is less breast tissue to become cancerous and self-exams and imaging become more productive.
Will I lose sensation?
Dr. Cash makes every effort to preserve nipple sensation. In some cases, a portion of sensation is lost. Rarely does a patient lose all sensation.
Will I be able to breastfeed?
Depending on the extent of breast tissue removed, there’s a good chance you may still breastfeed after surgery.
What are the risks of breast reduction surgery?
Reduction mammaplasty carries risks common to any surgery, such as excessive swelling and bleeding and possible infection. These conditions occur in a tiny fraction of patients and are most often are easily resolved.
Occasionally additional surgery is required to refine an outcome. This can happen if breasts are uneven after surgery or if a patient is unhappy with the look of a scar, for example. These complications are rare.
