What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of the breasts while refining their shape, symmetry, and overall proportions. By removing excess tissue, fat, and skin, the procedure relieves chronic upper-body discomfort, improves posture, and restores a lighter, firmer, and more balanced breast profile. Many patients also pursue breast reduction to achieve a more harmonious silhouette and enhance confidence in clothing and daily movement.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction may be an excellent choice if breast size impacts your comfort, daily function, or aesthetic confidence. Candidates may experience chronic discomfort, difficulty with exercise, shoulder grooves, or challenges finding clothes that fit well. Some patients also seek improved breast shape, symmetry, and proportion. During your consultation, your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle will be evaluated to determine whether breast reduction is the best option for you.

Your Breast Reduction Journey

Your Consultation

Your consultation is a comprehensive experience that includes an in-depth evaluation of breast anatomy, symptoms, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Your surgeon explains incision patterns, anticipated changes, and the aesthetic goals of your surgical plan while ensuring every detail is clear. This step establishes a foundation of trust, comfort, and collaborative decision-making.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of breast reduction varies depending on the extent of reshaping, surgical technique, procedure duration, and facility or anesthesia fees. After your consultation, you will receive a personalized cost estimate tailored to your surgical plan. Financing options may be available for qualified patients.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is performed under anesthesia in our AAAHC-certified Brentwood surgical facility. Your surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshapes the breast mound, and repositions the nipples for improved symmetry and proportion. Incision techniques are chosen based on your anatomy and desired outcome. The procedure typically lasts several hours, and you can return home on the same day.

What to Expect During Recovery

Most patients feel immediate relief from heaviness, with swelling improving steadily in the early weeks. A supportive surgical bra helps maintain positioning and comfort. Light activities typically resume within one to two weeks, while exercise and strenuous movement are reintroduced gradually once cleared by your surgeon. As incisions soften and the breasts settle over the following months, final results reveal lighter, lifted, and more proportional contours that enhance mobility and daily comfort.

Breast Reduction Techniques

Anchor Incision

Ideal for significant reductions, this technique uses an incision around the areola, a vertical line to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the fold to allow the most comprehensive reshaping.

Lollipop Incision

Used for moderate reductions, this method combines an areolar incision with a vertical incision, offering effective sculpting with fewer incisions than the anchor pattern.

Donut Incision

Designed for smaller reductions or cosmetic reshaping, this single circular incision around the areola minimizes scarring while offering subtle refinement.
