Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, adipose tissue, and breast skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This can help relieve neck pain, shoulder pain, and other physical symptoms caused by excessive breast weight.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to maintain a natural-looking breast shape while creating symmetry and lift. Depending on your anatomy, your surgeon may also reposition the nipple areola complex to a higher, more balanced location.
The breast reduction procedure, otherwise referred to as mastopexy and reduction mammoplasty, is a tailored solution designed for women seeking to address concerns related to overly large, sagging, or drooping breasts. Every reduction mammaplasty is personalized based on your anatomy, goals, and medical history. Your surgeon will evaluate your breast size, breast tissue, and overall body weight to develop the best approach. In some cases, bilateral breast reduction (on both sides) is recommended for achieving symmetry.
The breast reduction procedure is performed in our AAAHC-accredited surgical center under general anesthesia and usually takes 2–4 hours. Surgical rechniques may include:
For patients who have undergone previous breast surgery, additional planning ensures a safe, balanced outcome.
The surgical process is characterized by expert incisions, which may encircle the nipple-areolar complex in a periareolar (donut) pattern or incorporate vertical or inverted T incisions to lift the breast tissue. Breast tissue is expertly reduced to achieve the desired breast size and shape. For women experiencing discomfort such as back pain, neck pain, or shoulder grooving due to excessively large breasts, a breast reduction surgery can offer a truly transformative experience.
Common factors contributing to this condition include pregnancies and weight loss, which can result in the gradual stretching of the skin envelope covering the breast. This stretching allows breast tissue to naturally descend due to the effects of gravity, often leading to a loss of breast volume. When volume restoration is necessary, the insertion of an implant can help enhance cleavage and fullness.
Whether performed as aesthetic plastic surgery or reconstructive plastic surgery, breast reduction offers wide-ranging benefits:
Relief from shoulder pain, neck pain, and breast weight strain
Better posture and ease of movement
Rejuvenated, lifted breast shape
Increased clothing options and body confidence
Decreased risk of medical complications related to back and shoulder strain
You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you:
We’ll review your medical history, perform an exam, and help determine whether breast reduction surgery is the right fit for your goals. If relevant, we may also discuss how to screen for occult breast cancer or related risk factors during surgery.
After surgery, you’ll wear a surgical bra to minimize swelling and support the healing process. Mild soreness, swelling, and incision scars are expected in the first few weeks, but most patients are up and walking the day after surgery.
You should avoid lifting and strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks. Most patients return to work in about two weeks, depending on the demands of their job. Physical therapy may be suggested for those with long-standing posture issues or muscle tension.
Breast shape and contour will continue to refine over the next few months. With good care and stable body weight, your results will be long-last
You'll notice a physical difference immediately after your breast reduction surgery, especially in terms of breast size, shape, and relief from excessive breast weight. However, swelling and bruising are common during the first few weeks, and your final results will gradually take shape over the next 2–3 months as your body heals and settles.
Most patients report feeling significantly more comfortable within days, especially in their neck, shoulders, and upper back. Clothing tends to fit better, posture often improves, and many women feel lighter and more confident almost right away.
With a stable body weight and healthy lifestyle, breast reduction results are typically long-lasting. The size reduction is permanent, though natural changes may still occur over time due to age, weight fluctuations, or hormonal shifts. For many, the improvement in quality of life and body image is not only noticeable—it’s life-changing.

We utilize techniques such as the inferior pedicle to preserve breast sensation, but some temporary or permanent changes may occur. This varies by individual.
A breast lift repositions and reshapes tissue without significantly reducing volume. Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to achieve both a lift and a size decrease. Some procedures combine both goals.
Yes. By reducing breast weight, many patients experience less strain on their neck, spine, and shoulders, resulting in improved posture and greater comfort.
There will be surgical scars, typically placed in discreet areas, such as the inframammary fold, from the nipple to the breast crease, or around the areola. Over time, most scars fade significantly and can be improved with good scar care.

If performed to relieve chronic pain, skin issues, or medical complications, it may be considered reconstructive surgery and covered by insurance. Cosmetic cases are usually self-pay. We’ll help determine eligibility.
