Dr. Baltrusch (00:00):
My name is Kyle Baltrusch. I'm a plastic surgeon in Portland, Oregon. Breast reduction patients are the most happy patient population to work with. Symptom relief is pretty immediate
Eva Sheie (00:10):
Within a couple of days, do you hear them start to say different things? Is the feeling of their body so different right away that they all say the same thing? I'm just curious what you hear from them when they come back.
Dr. Baltrusch (00:25):
Yeah. When we see them in postoperative, I think there can be a little bit of dysphoria shock value that sometimes it's three pounds, five pounds, but certainly seeing them with smaller breasts and so it's not what they're used to seeing when they look in the mirror. But yeah, as far as the neck and shoulder pain, that it goes away pretty quickly as well as posture and fitting clothing. So yeah, we hear all of these things pretty soon after the operation, but then as they ease through their postoperative recovery, getting back into exercise and activities and being more active, that's closer to probably a month or so. But they all come back at their three month appointment, very happy, able to do a lot more than they were used to. So yeah, very happy patient population.

Kyle Baltrusch, MD
Plastic Surgeon in Portland, Oregon
Dr. Kyle Baltrusch is not only honest, intelligent, and compassionate, but also fun, charismatic, and easy to get along with. He’s proud to be a friend to his patients just as much as their plastic surgeon.
Originally from a farming community in Montana, Dr. Baltrusch was the first in his family to attend college. With a passion for art and anatomy, he realized in middle school that he wanted to be a plastic surgeon. He landed in Portland, Oregon, for medical school and training, joined Portland Plastic Surgery Group and never looked back.
While building his own practice within a group, Dr. Baltrusch has added to his already abundant surgical knowledge. From body contouring after massive weight loss, to cosmetic breast surgery, to top surgery and breast cancer reconstruction, Dr. Baltrusch has a wide variety of patients and he loves being their biggest advocate throughout their unique journeys.
