Breast Reduction

Anatomy-Led Reshaping for Balance, Proportion, and Relief

What Is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction is a functional procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin when breast weight causes physical discomfort or imbalance.

Large breasts can create chronic strain on the neck, shoulders, and back, affect posture, and limit physical activity. A breast reduction decreases weight while reshaping the remaining tissue and repositioning the nipple when needed to restore natural alignment.

The goal is improved comfort, proportion, and long-term support.

Frequently asked questions

Reduction is not planned around a specific cup size. Cup sizing is inconsistent, so the focus is on achieving a proportion that aligns with your frame, reduces physical discomfort, and restores balance. This is defined during consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
Breast reduction does involve permanent scars, which vary based on the technique required. Incisions are strategically placed and typically soften over time, but do not disappear. Scar quality depends on both surgical technique and individual healing.
Results are long-lasting, but not static. Breast tissue can still respond to weight changes, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, and aging. With stable weight, most patients maintain their outcome for many years.
Breastfeeding may still be possible, depending on technique and anatomy. When this is a priority, surgical planning is adjusted to preserve glandular tissue and ductal pathways when feasible. This is discussed in detail during consultation.
Breast reduction inherently includes a lift. As volume is reduced, the breast is reshaped and repositioned to restore contour, improve support, and maintain a natural, proportional appearance.
Cost varies based on surgical complexity and overall treatment plan. A personalized approach is developed during consultation, and exact pricing is reviewed afterward with the surgical coordinator.
