Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction?

- Back and neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Poor posture

During a consultation at our Fort Lauderdale office, Dr. Stokes will evaluate you to determine whether you are a good candidate for breast reduction Fort Lauderdale. She will examine you, ask you questions about your health, and listen carefully as you explain your goals for surgery.
What Does Breast Reduction Surgery Involve?
Performed under general anesthesia, breast reduction removes excess fat and glandular tissue and tightens the skin to reshape the breasts, making them smaller and more proportionate.
The specific details of breast reduction surgery are customized to each individual patient. Dr. Stokes may create incisions within the natural fold beneath the breast, around the areola, and from areola down to the breast fold. Then, she reshapes the breast and repositions the areola.
