Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while creating a more balanced, proportionate shape. At BEAUTY by BUFORD in Denver, Dr. Buford offers expert breast reduction solutions tailored to each patient’s goals and body type, helping alleviate the physical and emotional challenges associated with overly large breasts.
Dr. Buford’s approach combines his technical expertise with an eye for natural aesthetics, ensuring that each patient receives compassionate care and beautiful, balanced results.
The VASER-Assisted Breast Reduction is a revolutionary surgical procedure designed for women who've been dreaming of smaller, perkier, lighter breasts without the scars and incisions associated with traditional breast reduction surgeries. The VASER-Assisted Breast Reduction is the latest advancement in cosmetic breast surgeries and has shown great promise in its early stages of practice.
Dr. Buford uses this liposuction technology to suck out the fatty components that tend to weigh larger breasts down, allowing the breast tissue to shrink, lift, and reduce in volume.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Buford will conduct a thorough evaluation and discuss your goals and concerns. So that you’ll feel comfortable and confident and know exactly what to expect from your procedure, he’ll also carefully and patiently explain how the VASER-assisted procedure removes excess breast tissue while preserving important structures so you get the natural-looking results you deserve.
Before you meet with Dr. Buford for your consultation, consider filling out our breast self-assessment. By sharing how you see yourself, we can best evaluate your aesthetic goals and determine an appropriate treatment plan for you.
At BEAUTY by BUFORD, Dr. Buford understands the physical and emotional impact of having overly large breasts. If you’re considering breast reduction, our advanced VASER-assisted technique offers a transformative solution. Here's how VASER-assisted breast reduction works:
Prior to your procedure, Dr. Buford and our compassionate team of industry-leading experts will provide detailed pre-operative instructions. These instructions may include adjusting medications, avoiding certain substances, and arranging for post-operative care. We’ll ensure you are fully prepared and have all the necessary information to feel confident and comfortable.
On the day of your surgery, we’ll administer anesthesia so you have a comfortable experience. Dr. Buford will make small, strategically placed incisions based on your personalized treatment plan to access the breast tissue. The VASER-assisted device will emit ultrasound energy, selectively targeting and breaking down the excess fat cells. This allows for more precise removal and sculpting of the breast tissue.
Once the excess breast tissue has been treated with the VASER-assisted technique, Dr. Buford will gently remove the excess tissue before reshaping and contouring the remaining breast tissue to create a more balanced, natural, and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
After the procedure, Dr. Buford will close your incisions, and our expert team will apply post-operative dressings to support and encourage healing. Then, we’ll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including information about pain management, activities to avoid, and proper care of the surgical site. We’ll closely monitor your progress during the recovery period, ensuring your comfort and addressing any concerns along the way.
For the right candidate, VASER-Assisted Breast Reduction can offer impressive results and a more comfortable experience than a traditional reduction mammoplasty procedure. Benefits include:
While the VASER-Assisted Breast Reduction can be performed on any woman seeking breast reduction surgery, it's best suited for younger patients with greater skin elasticity.
"We've seen excellent results with the VASER-Assisted Breast Reduction. Not only are our patients happy with the lack of scarring and shortened downtime, but many are thrilled with the results and the newfound freedom of having lighter, perkier, scar-free breasts."
- Gregory A. Buford, MD, FACS, PCEO
Choosing to undergo a breast reduction is a deeply personal decision. At BEAUTY by BUFORD, Dr. Buford is dedicated to providing you with the information and support you need to make an informed choice. Factors to consider when determining if a breast reduction is right for you include:
If you experience physical discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, bra strap indentations, or skin irritation due to the weight and size of your breasts, a breast reduction can provide significant relief. It can also improve your posture and enhance your overall comfort, allowing you to enjoy a more active and pain-free lifestyle.
Large breasts can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and body image. If you feel self-conscious, struggle to find well-fitting clothing, or experience limitations in physical activities due to the size of your breasts, a breast reduction can help you regain confidence and improve your overall emotional well-being.
Consider your personal goals and aesthetic preferences. If you desire a more proportionate and balanced appearance, a breast reduction can help you achieve the desired size and shape. Dr. Buford will work closely with you to understand your goals and develop a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your vision.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Buford to discuss your individual circumstances — including your breast size, shape, and overall health — as well as your concerns and goals. Our compassionate team will provide comprehensive information about the procedure, address any questions or apprehensions you may have, and guide you through the decision-making process to help you find comfort, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.
Recovering from breast reduction surgery is a critical period that paves the way for your new outlook on life, comfort, and confidence. Understanding the recovery process is crucial for a smooth and comfortable healing journey. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the recovery phase post-breast reduction surgery.
Initial results after breast reduction surgery are visible almost immediately. However, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Most patients notice significant improvements in shape and feel within the first few months. Final results typically take shape around six months post-surgery, once residual swelling has completely resolved, and tissues have adjusted to their new contours.
Breast reduction results are long-lasting, providing enduring relief from physical discomfort and a proportionate, lifted appearance that can boost your confidence and ease of movement. Patients can maintain their results for many years by maintaining a stable weight and leading a healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging processes and life changes, such as pregnancy, may subtly affect breast shape over time. For most, the improvements achieved with breast reduction continue to offer significant physical and aesthetic benefits in the long term.
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are individuals experiencing physical discomfort (such as back, neck, and shoulder pain), skin irritation beneath the breast crease, limitations in physical activity, or self-consciousness due to large breasts. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes.
Benefits include relief from the discomfort associated with large breasts, improved ability to engage in physical activities, enhanced self-image, and a more proportionate figure. Many women also find it easier to find clothing that fits comfortably and looks flattering.
Recovery varies but generally involves wearing a special supportive bra, managing swelling and discomfort with prescribed medication, taking time off work, and refraining from physical activities. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, though full recovery and the final results can take several months to materialize.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, poor healing of incisions, and changes in nipple or breast sensation, which may be temporary or permanent. Carefully choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and following pre- and post-operative instructions can minimize these risks.
Scars are a permanent outcome of breast reduction surgery, but they will significantly fade over time. Dr. Buford strives to make incisions in areas that can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits.
Results from breast reduction surgery are long-lasting. However, breast size and shape can change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity.
Many insurance companies cover breast reduction surgery if it's deemed medically necessary to relieve symptoms such as back pain, shoulder grooves, or skin issues. You'll need to check with your insurance provider and possibly provide documentation from your doctor.
Preparation may include getting lab tests, adjusting or stopping certain medications, getting a baseline mammogram, and stopping smoking. You'll also need to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first night.

Whether you're seeking to refine or rejuvenate your naturally beautiful appearance, Dr. Buford's personalized approach ensures that your needs are met with world-class skill and precision.
