What Breast Reduction Can Address
Breast reduction is a reconstructive and aesthetic procedure designed to reduce breast volume, reshape the breast mound, and elevate the breasts to a more comfortable and balanced position. Many women seek this surgery to relieve physical symptoms such as neck, back, and shoulder pain, shoulder grooving, or chronic rashes beneath the breasts. By reducing excess tissue and lifting the breasts, the procedure can dramatically improve posture, mobility, and daily comfort, while also creating a more proportionate appearance. Breast reduction is very frequently covered by insurance, and our staff will guide you through the process so you understand what to expect from both the surgical and coverage perspectives.
Functional and Aesthetic Benefits
Overly large breasts can interfere with exercise, limit clothing options, and create discomfort during routine activities. Many individuals experience shoulder indentations from bra straps, persistent skin irritation beneath the breast crease, and difficulty maintaining proper posture due to the weight of the breasts. Breast reduction addresses all of these concerns by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, while reshaping and lifting the breasts for a more youthful contour. During your consultation, Dr. Becker will discuss the degree of reduction that will provide both the relief and the aesthetic outcome you are seeking.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are women who feel their breasts are disproportionately large, experience discomfort or pain due to breast weight, or find that breast size limits their physical activity. Candidates may also notice skin irritation, shoulder indentations from bra straps, or difficulty with everyday movement. Good overall health, nonsmoking status, and realistic expectations are essential for a safe and successful outcome. Dr. Becker will evaluate your breast anatomy, symptoms, and goals to determine the best approach for your needs.
How to Prepare for Your Surgery
Preparing for a breast reduction may involve lab testing, a medical evaluation, and adjusting or temporarily stopping certain medications. You may be instructed to discontinue smoking well in advance of the procedure and to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and specific supplements that increase bleeding. It is important to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you during the first night. Our team will provide comprehensive pre-operative instructions so you feel informed, supported, and ready for your surgery.
Your Recovery Experience
Following breast reduction, patients generally avoid lifting or strenuous activity for the first two weeks to protect healing tissues. Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are common early symptoms and will steadily improve as the breasts settle into their new shape. Dr. Becker will provide detailed aftercare guidance and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure healing is on track.

It was only 14 days since I had my abdominoplasty and a small liposuction. I am very delighted with the work. They are very kind. Honestly, the entire team, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and the girls, I recommend it 100%. My stomach is a beautiful thing, and I am still very swollen. I love my new navel. Thank you very much.
