Relieve physical discomfort and achieve a more proportionate, comfortable breast size by surgically removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin for improved quality of life.
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. This life-changing surgery not only improves appearance but also relieves physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts.
Breast reduction techniques can provide dramatic relief from chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain while creating aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking breasts. The procedure reshapes and lifts the breasts, repositions the nipple and areola, and creates better overall body proportion.
Many women with large breasts experience physical and emotional challenges including difficulty exercising, finding properly fitting clothing, skin irritation, and self-consciousness. Breast reduction surgery addresses these concerns while improving quality of life.
Eliminate chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by heavy breast tissue.
Exercise, run, and participate in physical activities without discomfort or restriction.
Achieve improved posture and reduced strain on your spine and skeletal system.
Achieve balanced, proportionate breasts that complement your body frame.
Find properly fitting bras, shirts, dresses, and swimwear with ease.
Eliminate rashes, irritation, and chafing in the breast fold and under-breast area.
Breast reduction surgery may be right for you if you meet the following criteria:
You experience chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain due to breast weight
You have difficulty exercising or participating in physical activities
Your breasts are disproportionately large for your body frame
You experience skin irritation, rashes, or grooves in shoulders from bra straps
You have difficulty finding properly fitting clothing and bras
You are in good overall health and at a stable weight
You have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
You are a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking before and after surgery
The amount of tissue removed varies based on your individual needs, body frame, and desired breast size. your surgeon will discuss your goals during consultation and recommend an appropriate reduction size that relieves symptoms while maintaining natural breast shape and proportion. Most breast reductions remove 1-4 pounds of tissue per breast.
Breastfeeding ability after breast reduction depends on the surgical technique used and the amount of tissue removed. While many women can breastfeed successfully, the procedure may affect milk production in some cases. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation so your surgical plan can be optimized accordingly.
Breast reduction surgery results in scars, with the extent depending on the technique used. The most common incision pattern is an "anchor" or inverted-T incision that circles the areola, extends vertically down, and follows the breast crease. While scars are permanent, they fade significantly over time and are typically hidden beneath bras and swimwear. your surgeon uses precise techniques to minimize scarring.
Breast asymmetry is common and can be corrected during breast reduction surgery. your surgeon will remove different amounts of tissue from each breast to achieve symmetry and create balanced, proportionate results. Your consultation will include detailed measurements and discussion of asymmetry correction.
Changes in nipple sensation are possible after breast reduction, ranging from increased sensitivity to temporary numbness. Most patients experience a return of normal sensation as healing progresses. Permanent changes in sensation are rare but possible. your surgeon uses techniques designed to preserve nerves and maintain sensation whenever possible.
