Why Some Women Need Multiple Breast Reduction Surgeries

Plastic Surgeon Explains Why Some Breast Reduction Patients Need Multiple Surgeries Many women choose breast reduction surgery to improve their physical comfort and self-esteem. However, Dr. Richard J. Brown, a board-certified plastic surgeon, highlights a lesser-known aspect of the procedure: the possibility of needing multiple surgeries. In a recent video, Dr. Brown explains that breast size can change over time due to factors such as aging and weight fluctuations. He states, "I see patients all the time who had a breast reduction years ago, and as things go, the breasts are always changing with age." This change can sometimes lead to an increase in breast size, necessitating a second reduction. Furthermore, Dr. Brown points out that certain congenital breast conditions can also cause the breasts to grow larger over time, requiring multiple surgeries to maintain the desired size and shape. He emphasizes that this is not uncommon and is often due to natural changes in the body. Dr. Brown's expertise lends credibility to his explanation, making the information valuable for women considering breast reduction surgery.
