Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. For many women, excessively large breasts can cause daily discomfort—both physically and emotionally. This surgery aims to alleviate symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture and mobility, and create a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.
Ideal candidates are women who experience chronic pain, bra strap indentations, skin irritation beneath the breasts, difficulty finding well-fitting clothing, or limitations in physical activity due to breast size. In many cases, breast reduction is considered medically necessary, and insurance coverage may be available when these functional symptoms are documented.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. Your surgeon will choose the most appropriate incision pattern based on your anatomy and desired outcome—commonly using a vertical (lollipop), anchor, or crescent technique. After reshaping the breast and repositioning the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, incisions are carefully closed with sutures.
Recovery typically includes some swelling, bruising, and soreness, which can be managed with prescribed medication and the use of a supportive surgical bra. Most patients resume light activity within a week, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. While the change in breast size is immediately noticeable, final results will continue to improve as swelling subsides.
The benefits of breast reduction can be life-changing—relieving physical discomfort, restoring confidence, improving posture and mobility, and making clothing fit more comfortably. As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction carries potential risks and complications, which will be thoroughly reviewed during your consultation.
