Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeon NYC

THE NYC PLASTIC SURGEON OFFERS EXPERT BREAST REDUCTION PLASTIC SURGERY CONSULTATIONS

Breast Reduction Plastic Surgery is performed by the NYC Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adam Schaffner on women over the age of 18 who have issues with self image, posture, and back / shoulder / neck pain problems related to breasts which are too large (or heavy) in proportion to the women’s size.  For example, bras can oftentimes dig into the skin causing bra indentations and even persistent rashes. Patients may choose Breast Reduction Surgery for these or for cosmetic reasons if they are self-conscious about the size of their breasts

FYI: Breast reduction plastic surgery falls into the category of reconstructive plastic surgery and may be covered by your health insurance. The plastic surgeon’s surgical coordinator will happily assist you to find out if your particular health insurance covers the procedure.

I was lucky to find Dr. Schaffner to perform my breast reduction surgery. Once meeting Dr. Schaffner, I quickly understood his knowledge, compassion and dedication to his patients and knew choosing him was the right decision. My healing from the plastic surgery was remarkable, I believe due to the precision of his surgical skills. He’s been in constant contact with me before, during and after surgery in the most timely, professional and patient manner. I’d highly recommend Dr. Schaffner to anyone.~ HealthGrades

The surgical technique usually employed by the NYC Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adam Schaffner is straight-forward: he will create incisions on the breasts through where fat, tissue and skin can safely and surgically be removed. Oftentimes, Liposuction may be elected by the patient to assist with fatty tissue removal. NYC Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Adam Schaffner, will discuss this option with you during your cosmetic consultation. If fatty tissue alone – and not excess skin – has caused large breast size, liposuction alone may work.
