Yes. Because EMFACE uses electromagnetic energy and heat, it is generally not recommended for:

• Patients with metal implants in the jaw or facial area (like certain joint replacements, though dental implants/fillings are usually fine—consult your provider).

• Individuals with pacemakers or other electronic implants.

• Pregnant women.
• Patients with active infections or severe structural joint damage that requires surgery.

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to create breasts that are lighter, more comfortable, and proportionate to the body. The procedure also reshapes and lifts the breasts for improved symmetry and contour.

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation or difficulty with physical activity due to large or heavy breasts. Candidates should be in good overall health, at a stable weight and have realistic expectations about results and scarring.

Yes. Most patients experience significant and often immediate relief from neck, shoulder and back pain after surgery. Reducing breast weight improves posture and decreases strain on the spine and surrounding muscles.

The most common techniques are the lollipop (vertical) and anchor (inverted-T) incisions. The choice depends on breast size, skin laxity and the amount of tissue being removed. Your surgeon will recommend the approach that provides the safest and most aesthetic outcome.

Temporary changes in nipple sensation are common but usually resolve over time. Breastfeeding may still be possible after reduction, though milk production can be reduced depending on the surgical technique. This will be discussed during your consultation if future breastfeeding is a concern.

Most patients return to light activities within 7–10 days. Swelling and soreness gradually improve over several weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks to allow proper healing and optimal results.

Yes, scars are an expected part of breast reduction. However, incisions are carefully placed and designed to fade significantly over time. With proper scar care, most scars become discreet and easily concealed by bras or swimwear.

Breast reduction results are long-lasting. However, natural aging, hormonal changes, pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations may affect breast shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.

Yes. Breast reduction is often combined with breast lift, fat grafting, areola reduction or axillary liposuction to refine shape, symmetry and upper-pole fullness for a more balanced aesthetic result.
