IS A BREAST REDUCATION THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME?
While performing a breast reduction surgery, Dr. Hallak does not only reduce the size of the breasts. In addition to decreasing breast volume, Dr Hallak M.D. also raises the nipple areolar complex to reduce the appearance of sagging and tightens the breast skin envelope to give a fuller, more youthful shape while performing a breast reduction.
Dr. Hallak, a board certified plastic surgeon, is able to help women living with extremely large and pendulous breasts by performing breast reduction surgery at the Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa. With understanding, attention to detail, and a gentle hand, Dr. Hallak is able to give almost any woman the shapely, well-proportioned breasts of their dreams.
"Dr. Hallak is a very thoughtful surgeon who took the time to explain my options. He knew how important it was for me to obtain a stylish look without overdoing it. Although I managed to fill a 34D before my surgery, my breasts were uneven and had lost all fullness. In addition to my much-needed lift, I also wanted an areola reduction..
I had complete faith in Dr. Hallak and now after a breast lift, areolar reduction, and 400 cc high profile implants thanks to Dr. Hallak’s skillful hands, I am a sexy 36DD and my breasts are shaped beautifully and feel very natural. My sincere thanks to Dr. Hallak and his staff."
"Hello, I am a patient of Dr. Hallak's I had breast augmentation & this is my testimonial: Being fairly new to San Diego I went on to see many doctors for consults on having my breast implants replaced. I had saline implants for 11 years and was ready to replace them with silicone implants. I was very nervous and didn’t want a drastic change Dr. Hallak & his staff were incredible I had such a great experience really liked everyone at the surgery center also. I knew I was in good hands all of my questions were answered & concerns were addressed I’ve been so pleased with the results my new implants look so good and natural I’m always getting compliments when I’m out with friends. I’m very excited to show off my new look this summer on the beach. I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made to have Dr. Hallak as my surgeon! Thank-you"
BEST CANIDATES FOR BREAST REDUCATION
Women with a breast size that is excessively large compared to their body habitus are good candidates for breast reduction surgery. These women often have neck and upper back pain secondary to their increased breast size. They may also have shoulder grooving from bra straps, skin rashes under their breasts, breast pain, difficulty finding clothes that fit, and inability to exercise or perform normal activities of daily living due to the excess weight of their breasts.
WHEN TO WAIT ON SURGERY
Of course, not every woman is a perfect candidate for breast reduction surgery. Patients that smoke, have complicated medical problems (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, blood clots), or are considered obese with a BMI >30 are not candidates for breast reduction surgery. To ensure the utmost in patient safety and operative results, Dr. Hallak requires that patients stop smoking for at least 6 months to 1 year, have medical conditions well controlled, and have reached the ideal body weight before proceeding with breast reduction surgery.
Additionally to obtain the most exceptional results possible, women who have recently had a baby or breast fed a baby should postpone surgery for at least 6-9 months to let their breast tissues contract before undergoing breast reduction surgery.
