Larger breasts can be cumbersome, especially on those with smaller frames. The heavy weight on the chest can lead to shoulder and back pain over time. Women who are active can struggle with the extra weight when running or participating in certain sports. Breast reduction surgery can remove extra tissue and skin, creating a more balanced shape that reduces pain and functional issues for many women.
It is not only functional and health concerns that motivate women to pursue breast reduction surgery. For women with very large breasts, it can be difficult to find clothes that fit. Larger breasts are quicker to sag. With breast reduction, the extra skin and fatty tissue are removed, and the breasts can be lifted and reshaped for a better overall appearance.

A good candidate for breast reduction is someone who experiences discomfort—such as back, neck, or shoulder pain—due to overly large breasts, in addition to concerns about appearance and lifestyle limitations. Your overall health, breast tissue composition, and realistic expectations will be evaluated during your consultation to ensure the procedure meets your needs.
Breast reduction surgery typically involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the crease itself. While scars are inevitable, they are strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible and tend to fade over time. Your surgeon will review incision placement and scar management techniques with you before surgery.
Recovery times vary, but most patients can expect to return to light activities within 2 to 3 weeks, with full recovery taking several months. Initial swelling and discomfort usually subside within the first few weeks. Your surgeon will provide a tailored post-operative care plan, including activity restrictions and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction carries risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in nipple sensation. There is also a possibility of uneven results or the need for revision surgery. A thorough consultation, proper surgical technique, and adherence to post-operative instructions can help minimize these risks.
Breast reduction is an excellent solution for individuals seeking relief from discomfort caused by overly large breasts while achieving a more proportionate silhouette. Contact our specialists for a consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine if breast reduction is right for you.
Breast reduction surgery may affect breastfeeding and nipple sensation, though the extent depends on the surgical technique used. Your surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits, as well as the impact on lactation and sensation, to help you make an informed decision based on your personal goals.
The goal of breast reduction is to achieve a balanced, proportionate silhouette that relieves physical discomfort while enhancing your overall appearance. During your consultation, your surgeon will take detailed measurements and discuss your desired outcome to ensure that the new breast size and shape suit your body proportions and lifestyle.
The results of a breast reduction are intended to be long-lasting. However, factors such as aging, hormonal changes, and significant weight fluctuations can influence the final outcome over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the benefits of your surgery.
Post-operative care after a breast reduction includes wearing a supportive bra, managing pain with prescribed medications, and following specific activity restrictions. Regular follow-up visits will monitor your healing progress, and your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on wound care and scar management to optimize your recovery.
