More about Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size. This surgery can improve physical symptoms such as neck and back pain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, and skin irritation. At the same time, it enhances your appearance by providing a more uplifted and symmetrical breast shape.

Patients often report feeling liberated and comfortable in their own skin following the procedure.

 

Breast reduction offers both physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Relief from chronic pain in the neck, back, and shoulders.
  • Improved posture and mobility.
  • Freedom to engage in physical activities without discomfort.
  • Enhanced body proportions and silhouette.
  • Boosted self-esteem and confidence.

What to Expect During and After Breast Reduction Surgery

Personalized Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Sistare. During this meeting, you’ll:

  • Discuss your goals and expectations.
  • Review your medical history to determine your candidacy.
  • Explore financing and insurance coverage options.
  • Address any questions or concerns.

Dr. Sistare will perform a physical evaluation and develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your needs.

The Surgical Procedure

Breast reduction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Dr. Sistare will use strategically placed incisions to minimize scarring while achieving optimal results. The most common incision patterns include:

  • Anchor-shaped incision: Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the crease.
  • Lollipop incision: Around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease.

Through these incisions, Dr. Sistare will:

  • Remove excess breast tissue and fat.
  • Reshape and lift the remaining breast tissue.
  • Reposition the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful location.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

  • After surgery, you’ll return home the same day with detailed instructions for recovery. Here’s what to expect:

    • First Week: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed medication.
    • 2 to 4 Weeks Post-Op: Many patients can return to work and light activities. Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
    • 6 Weeks Post-Op: Most patients can resume vigorous activities, including exercise, under Dr. Sistare’s guidance.

    You’ll need to wear a surgical bra or supportive sports bra for several weeks to support healing and optimize results.

    While breast reduction is a safe and effective procedure, it’s important to be aware of potential risks, including:

    • Infection or poor wound healing.
    • Changes in breast or nipple sensation (often temporary).
    • Minor asymmetry or irregular contours.
    • Scarring, which typically fades over time with proper care.

    Dr. Sistare will review all potential risks and complications during your consultation to ensure you feel fully informed.

    Breast reduction provides long-lasting results, but maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial for preserving your new shape. Factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging can affect your breasts over time. Dr. Sistare will provide guidance on how to support your results for years to come.

Breast Reduction FAQs

Insurance may cover breast reduction if it’s deemed medically necessary. Conditions such as chronic pain, rashes, or other physical symptoms caused by large breasts may qualify. Dr. Sistare’s team can assist with documentation to help you navigate the insurance process.
Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is manageable with medication, and most patients feel significantly better within a few days.
Most women take 7 to 10 days off work for initial recovery. Full recovery, including resuming strenuous activities, typically takes about 6 weeks.
Scars are an inevitable part of surgery, but Dr. Sistare uses advanced techniques to minimize their appearance. Scars typically fade over time and are easily hidden by bras or swimsuits.
While you’ll notice an immediate reduction in breast size, final results develop over 3-6 months as swelling subsides and tissues settle into their new shape.
Yes, men with gynecomastia can benefit from male breast reductionsurgery to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest.
