Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is an active and inviting process that enhances and reshapes the breasts to make them lighter, smaller, and firmer. This transformative procedure involves extracting excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, addressing the physical pain, emotional distress, and social anxiety caused by oversized breasts. By opting for breast reduction, individuals can lead healthier, more comfortable lives and enjoy a beautiful, proportionate appearance.

Reasons for considering a Breast Reduction:

  • Heavy breasts cause back, neck, and shoulder pain.
  • Breast sagging due to excessive size.
  • Oversized breasts result in a disproportionate physical frame.
  • Restrictions on physical exercise due to breast size and weight.
  • Painful bra strap marks and/or rashes caused by large breasts.

General Procedure

The general procedure for breast reduction surgery may vary, but the most common technique involves an incision encircling the areola. The incision extends downward, following the natural curve beneath the breast. Skilled surgeons then extract excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin. 


During your initial consultation, we will choose the best procedure for your breast reduction. In some cases, we may utilize liposuction alone to decrease breast size. Additionally, we reposition and secure the nipple and areola higher using stitches.


Breast reduction yields the quickest body changes among all plastic surgery procedures. Patients experience the satisfaction of eliminating physical pain caused by large breasts, achieving a better-proportioned body, enhancing their appearance, and enjoying better-fitting clothes.

Recovery Process

During the recovery process of breast reduction surgery, following post-operative instructions is crucial. This process typically involves plenty of rest and limited activity to expedite healing and reduce recovery time.


Our team will apply bandages immediately after the surgery to support healing and minimize breast movement. After removing the bandages, we will provide you with a specialized surgical bra for several weeks. We can effectively manage any minor pain experienced by the patient through the use of oral medication. Although complications are rare, diligent adherence to the provided instructions after surgery helps minimize potential issues. Our dedicated team ensures your well-being throughout the breast reduction journey.
