There will be many questions running in your head regarding whether or not you should proceed with the surgery. Instead of worrying about it, you might want to consult the expertise of a plastic surgeon who can help you sort out all of your doubts regarding the procedure. Therefore, if you’d like to find out if breast reduction surgery can resolve your issues or if it’s safe for you, make an appointment with the surgeon now. 

Here are some essential questions you should discuss with your plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction in Dubai.

Does Insurance Cover Breast Reduction?

In short: It all depends. It turns out that insurance companies are often strict and may even define the details of the procedure. Even if the insurance company gives pre-certification for the process, they determine how many grams of tissue the surgeon must remove for the surgery to be covered, which often may leave patients with far smaller breasts than they desire.

What Are The Risks Associated With Breast Reduction Surgery?

The main risks associated with breast reductions include hemorrhage (blood clot), decreased nipple sensation, and wound healing problems. In some instances, the blood supply to the nipple could be compromised, resulting in the loss of the nipple. There is also the possibility of having asymmetrical outcomes, and it is a critical issue and must be discussed with the Surgeon beforehand.

What Is The Breast Reduction Recovery Process?

The positive aspect is that breast reduction isn’t the most difficult postoperative procedure. Patients are advised to wear sports or a surgical bra in the following six weeks and avoid exercising (no heavy lifting weights, swimming, any physical activity).

Will This Surgery Leave Any Scars?

The place of the scar is dependent on the type of surgery performed. The surgeon will attempt as hard as possible to reduce the scars. The breast reduction surgery leaves marks, but the majority time, they disappear with time. The appearance of scars depends on the tone of your skin, healing characteristics, and the kind of incision you have chosen for your procedure. 

Can I Breastfeed After This Surgery?

There are differing opinions on this matter. However, most clinical research on current methods suggests that you might be capable of breastfeeding your child the same way a normal mother does. If you’re pregnant or have recently delivered, it’s best not to go through the reduction of your breasts immediately. In addition, if you’ve plans to become pregnant following the surgery to reduce breasts, it is recommended to seek your surgeon’s advice before making any decisions.

Final Words

It is essential to know what questions to ask to help you receive the correct answers to make an informed choice. As with all other surgical procedures, it requires careful examination of several important aspects that need specialist advice.

I am an Italian woman and I would like to share my amazing experience with Dr. Faisal. When I decided to have my breast augmentation I visited several doctors, and I must say that every time I was more and more confused because I always received different advice and I felt a little lost. However, I decided to continue searching and found Dr. Faisal's profile on google, read some of his reviews and contacted him for a consultation. For the first time I really felt listened to, where I wasn't a "30 min visit" to sell the operation, but it was me as a person. Dr. Faisal asked me many questions to make me feel at ease and understand what my goals were (there was no time, he was just listening to me). I had finally left the studio happy, and sure he was the right surgeon. I want to clarify that I am a super sporty girl (I do running, CrossFit, kickboxing, tennis hiking), and also during the appointment, for me the most important aspect was to obtain a natural effect and be able to continue to do my sports activities as before. So I took a couple of weeks where every time I needed clarification he asked me to stop by the studio to explain me everything in detail! After my thousand dramas I decided the date of the operation :) it was a Friday. The day after I went out for a walk (Dr. please don't read, that I promised you I would be rested). On Monday I was already back to work and on Wednesday I could already drive. As for sport, I followed everything the Dr. advised me and after about 3 weeks I was back to running a bit. After about 5 weeks I was back to doing some weights. Now after 3 months I'm back to doing all my sports. I was already super happy with the result after the operation, now is absolutely incredible. I hope my experience can help other people because in addition to professionalism, he is a doctor who truly listens and cares about the person's happiness and I can't recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Dr Faisal to anyone thinking of undergoing surgery. I had a few consultations with other Drs but instantly i had a really good feeling when discussing everything with Dr Faisal. He really took the time to listen and understand exactly what I wanted to achieve. He reassured all the way through the process and made me feel so at ease. I had done extensive research (15 years) before I decided to do the surgery of Breast Augmentation. Dubai can be a minefield trying to find the right surgeon but he came highly recommended from many people and I now know why. I’m so happy with my results.

I had the best experience with Dr.Faisal for my 360 lypo surgery. Starting from my very first consultation in which he was very welcoming and open to listening to what I was looking to achieve. He really took my case with all care and professionalism, and I couldn’t be happier with what we achieved. Beyond his professional capabilities, his after care and support post operation has been second to none. I highly recommend Dr.Faisal to anyone who is looking to do any cosmetic work- minor or major in Dubai, there is no need to travel abroad looking for better doctors or prices ..etc. Dr.Faisal’s procedure and care have been the utmost best in class.

I decided to undergo lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Faisal Salim after many years of having a complex and I can truly say that it was one of the best choice I've made. Knowing Dr. Faisal for some years I had plenty of faith that he would do a great job. His care to detail, precision, and overall perfectionist that he is are what made me put my trust in him to perform my surgery and it shows as I'm highly happy with the result!

I am 27 yrs old and I had a desire of getting larger and proportionate breasts since my younger age. When I researched surgeons and was looking through many, many galleries of results, I wasn’t impressed by almost any of the doctor's work. After a long search, I came across the website of Dr. Faisal Salim, read his reviews, and looked at his results. I was so happy and just knew i had to do a consultation with him! I spoke with his clinic first on the phone and she gave me so much information even before booking a consultation with a doctor. From the first tele conversation, I was so impressed, and comfortable and felt that they cared about me as a patient. I went to my consultation where he explained every part of the procedure and answered all my questions. As we have a family history of breast cancer, Dr Faisal referred me to do an ultrasound mammogram, along with a health screening and tests to check i was a proper candidate for surgery. When I was cleared I had my surgery in October 2021, and have had many checkups with Dr. Faisal since he is very involved and wanting to make sure i have the best results. He and his team are better than I could have imagined. I have had a lot of friends, and even strangers ask me to know my doctor's name because they are wondering about my result. I recommend him to every female out there wanting the Best Results!!!

The whole experience from start to finish has been highly professional and he truly listens to the outcome you want and advises appropriately based on his many years of experience. He also has an extremely supportive team and a good communication system which means you are still supported and reviewed weeks after the procedure. If you are thinking about having this procedure done, go and consult with Dr. Faisal. He will give you a good overview of the procedure so you can make the best decision for you and your body.

I had been thinking about getting a tummy tuck for years but I was so afraid of doing it. I had been searching for various surgeons because I knew it is an extensive surgery. But when I met Dr. Faisal Salim, I just knew he was the one I was searching for. After my first consultation with him, I got a confidence of doing tummy tuck surgery. It has been 6 months since my procedure and the result is amazing. He and his staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive and answered to all my questions in a positive way. I had a wonderful experience at his clinic, and his staffs were more caring. Thank you for your entire support and caring you had given me during my days in your clinic
