Meet The Doctor
Dr. Yamahata performs breast reduction surgery as an outpatient procedure either in a local hospital or in his AAAA-certified surgery center, using either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. He will customize his surgical technique to give you the most natural and attractive breast shape and size for your individual body structure and goals.
The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue and skin and then reshaping the areolas and breasts. It often includes a breast lift to accomplish this goal. Many women who undergo breast reduction have so much excess breast tissue removed that their nipples must be moved higher up on the breasts. Whenever possible, Dr. Yamahata will use a pedicle method for nipple relocation, which leaves the nipple attached to the breast tissue, blood vessels, and milk glands. This technique helps to preserve nipple sensitivity and improves your chances of breastfeeding in the future.
Most women are able to go home on the day of their breast reduction surgery. Dr. Yamahata and/or a member of his staff will personally call following the surgery to see how you are doing and answer any questions or concerns. You will be asked to wear a surgical bra at all times, except while showering, for several weeks after your breast reduction to support your breasts and encourage healing. You will probably need 1 to 2 weeks off from work and other everyday activities. You will be ready to resume strenuous activity in about 4 to 6 weeks.
Sacramento Magazine’s annual list honors medical professionals from the Sacramento area in their respective fields — and Dr. Yamahata is among them.
Request a ConsultationAlthough breast reduction works well when performed as a solitary procedure, it can also be performed at the same time as other procedures for maximized results. For example, some patients opt to undergo breast reduction at the same time as liposuction. Breast reduction can even be incorporated into a Mommy Makeover, a combinational surgery that typically includes liposuction and tummy tuck with some form of breast enhancement.
