Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving symptoms caused by large, heavy breasts, such as back and neck pain, difficulty exercising, bra strap indentations, and skin irritation beneath the breasts. The procedure not only alleviates physical discomfort but also boosts self-confidence and overall well-being.

How Does It Work?

During the surgery, excess skin and breast tissue is removed, the nipple-areolar complex is reduced to a more attractive feminine size, the breast is elevated from its sagging position and the breast is reshaped.

A breast lift is an integral part of this procedure. Depending on the amount of tissue removed and nipple positioning, either a “lollipop” (Vertical) or “Anchor/Inverted-T” (Wise-Pattern) incision is used. Dr. Tony and Dr. Lena will discuss the best approach for you during your private consultation. Liposuction is often included to sculpt a more attractive breast shape.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our licensed outpatient facility, allowing patients to return home the same day with a responsible caregiver. No drains are used, and a post-surgical bra is provided. Dissolvable stitches eliminate the need for removal. Patients can typically shower 2-3 days post-surgery after the initial follow-up. Most patients return to work within 7-10 days.

Recovery Process

Recovery varies per individual and depends on factors like additional procedures (e.g., breast lift or implant exchange), the amount of tissue removed, and personal healing rates. Generally, discomfort and swelling subside within three to four weeks. Wearing a supportive bra 24/7 for 4 weeks post-surgery helps minimize strain on incisions. After four weeks, regular bras can be worn. Normal physical exercise activities can usually resume after six weeks, but heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided until then.
