What Is a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure in which natural breasts are reduced in size. When a woman is dissatisfied by the large size of her breasts, our surgeons can reduce the size using simple, safe methods. The result is smaller, symmetrical breasts. The procedure is performed completely on an individualized basis, and your surgeon will only remove the amount of breast tissue in order to best achieve the patient’s overall desired outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your surgeon will determine your candidacy for a breast reduction at your initial consultation. Because a breast reduction can be performed for medical reasons, it is also possible that your chiropractor or general practitioner has recommended a reduction for increased comfort. If you feel your natural breasts are too large, it is likely you are a strong candidate for this procedure.
It is important for patients to feel in control and relaxed while undergoing plastic surgery procedures. Before your consultation, we recommends that you think about your desired outcome for the procedure in detail. You should consider such questions as: What measurements do you desire? What bra size do you feel would be best for you? Your physician will work with you to create a detailed treatment plan, helping you to determine the exact size for your breast reduction.
You will see the results of your breast reduction immediately, as a portion of your breast tissue will be gone. However, it is natural to experience swelling and some “settling in” for the breast tissue, so you can continue to see positive results for a couple of months following the procedure.
