Are you considering a breast reduction or a breast lift but feel completely overwhelmed by all the medical jargon online? In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Blechman to demystify everything you need to know about breast surgery. 

Dr. Blechman strips away the confusing terminology and breaks down breast anatomy into two simple parts: the skin envelope and the breast mound. We dive into the critical differences between a medically necessary breast reduction (which relieves chronic back pain, neck strain, and bra grooving) and a cosmetic breast lift for deflated or saggy breasts after pregnancy or rapid weight loss. 

Dr. Blechman also pulls back the curtain on his revolutionary, drain-free recovery protocol and a specialized rib cage nerve block technique that allows over 90% of his patients to recover without any prescription narcotic painkillers. Plus, we explore the step-by-step reality of gender-affirming top surgery, what to realistically expect regarding nipple sensation trade-offs, and how to properly vet your surgeon so you are always in safe hands.
