When Less Is More: The Complete Guide for Women Considering Breast Reduction Surgery

Description

From a woman plastic surgeon comes the first comprehensive, easy-to-understand book on what to expect before, during, and after breast reduction surgery. Breast reduction is among the top ten most commonly performed major plastic surgical procedures. Many celebrities are even speaking out about their experiences. Yet there is no trade book on this topic. This book is the first comprehensive, easy-to-understand resource on the problems related to heavy breasts and what to expect from breast reduction surgery. It is written with the compassion of a female plastic surgeon with 18 years' experience and insight into the concerns of these women. Heavy-breasted women suffering from disabling neck, back, and shoulder pain experience considerable symptom relief and deep emotional benefits after this surgery. But making the decision can be difficult, most women think about it for years before taking action. This book answers six critical questions: Will the surgery help me? Are there alternatives to surgery? How do I find a good doctor? Will my insurance pay for the surgery? What does the surgery involve, including risks and outcomes? How long is the recovery time? This first-of-its-kind book provides what women need to know to make an informed decision about a procedure that can transform their lives.
