Reduction
While many women strive to attain fuller breasts, some desire smaller, perkier breasts. Our team of experienced surgeons will use their artistic skills to reduce your breast size and enhance your natural beauty.
What is Breast Reduction?
Excessively large breasts also referred to as macromastia, can take a physical and emotional toll on women. The excess breast tissue, fat, and skin may cause sagging and heavy, burdensome feel to breasts, which in turn can lead to neck strain, back pain, and other physical ailments.
Large breasts may also leave a woman feeling self-conscious about her body and unsatisfied with the way clothes fit. Breast reduction surgery can help enhance your appearance and overall comfort.
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, can correct overly large breasts, yielding life-changing results. Our highly skilled team of board-certified plastic surgeons will excise the excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, while also performing a breast lift to give your breasts a perky, youthful appearance. The result: natural-looking breasts with rejuvenated contours and an improved quality of life

FAQs
How is a breast reduction procedure performed?
−Extra breast tissue is removed, and the nipple / areola is repositioned to a more youthful location on the breast mound. Doing so typically requires an incision around the areola, down the front of the breast and within the breast fold. In more modest breast reductions, the incision within the fold may not be required. All breast tissue that is removed is then sent to pathology for review.
