DENVER, CO, September 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Breast reduction surgery is performed to minimize larger breasts that present physical and emotional problems to many women who feel their breasts are too large for their body type or structure. After breast reduction surgery your breasts will be in proportion to the rest of your body, your clothes will fit better and you will feel more confident about your appearance.
Problems Associated with Larger Breasts
Larger breasts can and do present actual physical and emotional problems for many women, and include:
- Problems breathing
- Back, shoulder and neck pain
- Poor posture
- Deep and painful bra strap indentations
- Chafing and chronic skin infections under the breasts
- Poor self-confidence and low self-esteem
Breast Reduction Procedure and Post-operative Care
After a thorough examination and evaluation by your breast surgeon, breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The excess fatty tissue and sagging skin are removed and the areolas and nipples are repositioned higher on the breasts.
Post- breast reduction surgery you are usually fitted with a special bra or surgical dressing to hold your breasts in the best position for healing and comfort. Initial pain is easily controlled with prescribed oral pain medication and the pain should subside after only a few days. Any scarring typically fades over several months.
Any type of strenuous activity should be avoided during the first two weeks after breast reduction surgery. If an activity causes you discomfort it should be stopped. If you have a sedentary job, you may return to work in seven to ten days. After one month you should be able to begin easing into your normal exercise routines.
Risks and Complications
Risks and complications associated with breast reduction surgery are rare. Thousands of women undergo successful breast reduction surgery every year, experience no major problems and are happy with the results. However, every surgical procedure does have the potential for complications and this should be discussed with your surgeon at your initial consultation. Some risks and complications you may experience can include:
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
- Anesthesia side-effects

Employee Misconduct Claims in New Jersey: Separating Fact From Fiction
2010-09-11
Employment in New Jersey is generally on an "at will" basis. This means the employee is free to quit at any time and the employer may fire the employee at any time for any reason - except for unlawful discrimination. When the employer offers an explicit employment contract or modifies "at will" status through an employer's handbook, then employee rights and responsibilities are governed by the terms of those documents.
Employer handbooks are treated like contracts, unless the handbook states (and some do) that employees cannot rely on it. New Jersey courts have said: ...
The Employee Misclassification Prevention Act of 2010
2010-09-11
Employee misclassification can take place in several situations, including when a worker who should be classified as an employee of a business is illegally and improperly treated as a self-employed independent contractor. While some cases of misclassification are the result of honest mistakes or misapplication of employment laws, many businesses deliberately misclassify workers in order to avoid the taxes, benefits and other expenses that employers are legally obligated to pay for their employees.
Companies that engage in this practice save money for themselves at the ...
BP Oil Spill Victims Continue to File for Damages
2010-09-11
A seven-member federal judicial panel in Idaho recently heard arguments about which jurisdiction is best suited for a consolidation of more than 300 lawsuits against BP and other companies involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
According to the Associated Press, some of the nearly two dozen attorneys argued that it might be unfair to move a consolidated case to Houston, where BP would like the proceedings to take place. Most of the plaintiffs appeared to favor New Orleans, as does the Justice Department.
No matter where the case is finally heard, it's clear that ...
The New Changes in Florida's Complicated Child Support Laws
2010-09-11
During the 2010 session, the Florida legislature considered two bills aimed at making significant changes to Florida's alimony and child support laws.
