Breast
Reduction

Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain — and reshapes the breasts to a lighter, firmer, more proportionate contour. Because excess skin is removed and the nipple is repositioned higher, a reduction also lifts the breasts in the same procedure.

What a breast reduction actually is

A breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create breasts that are lighter, firmer, and better proportioned to your body.

For many patients it is as much a relief procedure as an aesthetic one — easing the chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain that heavy breasts cause. Bra strap grooving, skin irritation beneath the breast crease, and difficulty staying active all tend to improve once the weight is removed.

Because excess skin is removed and the nipple is repositioned higher, a reduction also naturally lifts and reshapes the breasts in the same procedure — so you gain both comfort and a more youthful contour. Your surgeon chooses the technique that fits the amount of reduction you need and your anatomy, always aiming for the least extensive approach that achieves your goal.

How your reduction is planned and priced

Your surgeon chooses the technique that fits the amount of reduction you need and your anatomy — always aiming for the least extensive approach that achieves your goal. These are the factors that shape your surgical plan and your itemized quote.

Vertical (Lollipop)

For moderate reductions. An incision around the areola plus a vertical line to the crease. Less scarring, ideal for smaller-volume removals.

Anchor (Inverted-T)

The most common pattern for larger reductions. Adds an incision along the breast crease, allowing the most tissue removal and reshaping.

Liposuction-Assisted

In select cases where the breast is mostly fatty tissue, liposuction can reduce volume with minimal scarring — determined at consultation.

Amount of Tissue Removed

Larger reductions take more surgical time, and that is reflected in the itemized quote you receive at consultation.

Asymmetry Correction

Treating each breast differently adds planning and operating time. Asymmetry correction is assessed and quoted during your consultation.

Combined Procedures

Pairing your reduction with liposuction or another procedure changes the surgical plan, the operating time, and the price.

Insurance Coverage

When a reduction is medically necessary — to relieve chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain — some plans may provide coverage, though requirements vary by carrier. The $4,000 starting price reflects self-pay cosmetic surgery.

Financing From $30/Week

Flexible payment plans let you budget for your procedure without paying upfront. Financing options are reviewed during your free consultation.

Good candidates experience back, neck, or shoulder pain from the weight of their breasts, skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts, difficulty exercising, or self-consciousness about breast size. A consultation confirms candidacy and the right technique.
