Overview
Breast reduction surgery is about so much more than appearance—it’s about relief. Patients seek this procedure suffering from chronic neck pain, upper back pain, and shoulder grooving caused by the weight of overly large breasts.
Many women have carried this burden their entire lives, developing hunched posture and rotated shoulders. The constant, nagging discomfort affects everything from exercise to sleep to simply finding clothes that fit.
At Nip Tuck Aesthetics, we understand that breast reduction is often as much a medical necessity as it is a cosmetic choice. Our goal is to relieve your symptoms while creating a beautifully proportionate, lifted result.
Who Benefits from Breast Reduction?
Patients seeking breast reduction vary widely:
- Women with very large breasts causing significant symptoms
- Women with moderately large but heavy breasts creating persistent discomfort
- Those experiencing skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts
- Active women limited in exercise and physical activities
- Anyone whose breast size creates daily physical or emotional burden
The procedure delivers exceptional results, with patients consistently reporting dramatic improvement in their symptoms.
The Process
Surgical Techniques
Surgeons have several approaches to breast reduction, chosen based on your anatomy and goals:
Wise Pattern (Inverted T) For patients with significant excess tissue, incisions are made around the areola, vertically down to the breast fold, and horizontally along the fold. This allows removal of substantial breast tissue and skin while reshaping and lifting.
Vertical (Lollipop) For patients needing less reduction, incisions circle the areola and extend vertically downward. This technique leaves less scarring while still achieving significant improvement.
During consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy and recommend the best approach for your goals.
The Procedure
Your breast reduction will follow these steps:
-
Anesthesia — General anesthesia ensures your complete comfort during the 2-3 hour procedure.
-
Incisions — Based on your surgical plan, precise incisions are made to access breast tissue.
-
Tissue Removal — Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The nipple and areola are typically repositioned to a more youthful location.
-
Reshaping — Remaining tissue is sculpted and lifted to create a proportionate, youthful contour.
-
Closure — Incisions are closed with layered sutures. You’ll be fitted with a surgical support bra.
Recovery
-
Week 1: Rest is essential. You’ll wear a surgical bra day and night. Drains may be in place for a few days. Bruising and swelling are normal.
-
Week 2: Most patients return to desk work. Stitches or tape may be removed at your follow-up visit.
-
Week 3-6: Gradually resume normal activities. Continue wearing your surgical bra. Avoid strenuous exercise.
-
Month 2-12: Swelling continues to resolve. Breasts settle into their final position. Scars fade from dark to light pink, eventually becoming barely visible.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is breast reduction covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes. When breast reduction is deemed medically necessary due to documented symptoms (back pain, neck pain, skin rashes), insurance may cover part or all of the procedure. Our team can help you navigate the insurance approval process.
Will I lose sensation in my nipples?
Some temporary change in nipple sensation is common, but permanent loss is rare. Most patients regain full sensation within several months as nerves heal.
Can I breastfeed after breast reduction?
Breastfeeding may be affected by this procedure, as some glandular tissue is removed. However, many women can still breastfeed after reduction. If future breastfeeding is a priority, discuss this with your surgeon during consultation.
How much smaller will my breasts be?
The amount of reduction is customized to your goals and body proportions. During consultation, we'll discuss your desired size and show you what's realistically achievable. Most patients drop 1-3 cup sizes.
What is the recovery like?
Surgery takes about 3 hours under general anesthesia. You'll wear a surgical bra for several weeks. Most patients return to work within 2 weeks and resume full activities at 6 weeks. Swelling subsides over 3-6 months.
