Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, excess fat, and skin to reduce the overall breast size. It can also include elements of a breast lift to improve shape and restore a more youthful appearance.
Most breast reduction patients seek surgery not just for aesthetic reasons but because heavy breasts cause daily discomfort. Dr. Said uses techniques like anchor breast reduction, which includes precise anchor incisions made around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast fold, to remove excess volume while lifting and reshaping the breasts. During your procedure, special care is taken to preserve nipple sensation and create natural-looking, smaller breasts with lasting results.
Women choose breast reduction for all kinds of reasons, but most are looking for the same thing: relief. The procedure can ease physical discomfort, improve mobility, and help you feel more in control of how your body looks and feels.
Some of the most common benefits include:
If overly large breasts are affecting your health or daily comfort, you might be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery.
You may be eligible if you:
During your consultation, Dr. Said will review your medical history, examine your breast tissue, and discuss your goals to ensure this cosmetic surgery is right for you.
Your consultation is there to give you clarity and confidence for your reduction. Dr. Said will assess your anatomy, talk through your symptoms, and explain how the breast reduction procedure works. We'll discuss everything from the type of incision to potential nipple repositioning and what kind of outcome you can expect.
To prepare, we may ask you to:
This is a highly individualized procedure. Everything from the incision technique used to the amount of glandular tissue removed will be tailored to help you achieve your desired result.
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Dr. Said uses the Skin Positioning System for improved precision in tissue removal and nipple placement, which helps deliver more consistent, symmetrical outcomes.
The most common technique used is the anchor breast reduction, which involves:
Through these anchor incisions, Dr. Said removes excess fat, skin, and breast tissue. The breast is then reshaped and lifted, and the nipple repositioned to a more ideal location. In some cases, liposuction may be used to refine the shape, especially around the sides of the chest.
You'll feel lighter right away, but your final breast reduction results will continue to develop over several weeks as swelling goes down. Most patients return to work or light activity within one to two weeks, with full breast reduction recovery typically taking four to six weeks.
During recovery:
Scars will soften and fade over time, and most are hidden under clothing or within the breast fold. With proper care, the outcome is long-lasting and life-changing.
Since every breast reduction is customized, costs will vary depending on the amount of excess breast tissue removed, the techniques used, and whether it's combined with other procedures like a breast lift.
We'll provide a clear, all-inclusive estimate and review financing options during your consultation. In some cases, reduction mammaplasty may be covered by insurance when medically necessary.
