Alleviate the majority, if not all, of your symptoms
Take the first step: Consultation
The best way to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for breast reduction surgery is to meet with one of our plastic surgeons for a consultation. The doctor will perform a physical examination and review your medical history.
Our plastic surgeons will inquire about your personal goals and discuss the procedure with you in greater detail. Some patients who undergo breast reduction surgery also opt for breast lift surgery for a complete rejuvenation of the breasts.
Ideally Suited To:
- Women who are in good overall health
- Women who do not smoke (or can quit prior to breast reduction surgery)
- Those who feel that their breasts are too large or are causing back and neck pain
- Those who are limited to certain physical activities
- Patients who have realistic expectations about their breast reduction surgery
Breast Reduction FAQs
Our surgeons perform breast reduction surgery at our private surgical suite or at one of the local hospitals where they are on staff. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so you can return home after surgery.
We will review the cost of breast reduction more thoroughly during your personal consultation. Our plastic surgeons will need to evaluate the degree of correction necessary in your case to provide a quote.

What To Expect: Breast Reduction Surgery
About the Procedure
The doctor will make an incision around the nipple, continuing vertically down to the curve underneath the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease. Through this incision, the doctor removes excess breast tissue and skin. The doctor sculpts the breast mound into a size and shape that is more proportional to your body. The doctor works very carefully to produce results that are symmetrical and natural-looking. After the doctor is finished, he or she closes the incisions and places a surgical bandage around the breasts.
Recovery from Breast Reduction Surgery
Some pain and swelling is normal in the first few days following breast reduction. Our plastic surgeons will provide a prescription for pain medication to alleviate discomfort. It’s wise to fill your prescription prior to the day of your surgery, so the medication is available to you as soon as you return home from your procedure.
Follow-up
One of our surgeons will check on you the evening of your surgery. They will also schedule follow-up visits at different intervals after surgery to check your healing progress and clear you to return to work and your normal activities.
Expectations
Many patients feel able to engage in light activity (like walking) several days after surgery, but you should refrain from lifting or pushing anything for several weeks.
If you have any questions during your recovery, our plastic surgery team members are always available to answer them. Your successful recovery is our top priority.
