Breast Procedures
Breast Reduction
Relieving discomfort caused by overly large, heavy breasts
Overview
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a size that is more proportionate to the body and more comfortable day to day.
Beyond aesthetics, this procedure is frequently sought for genuine physical relief — from neck, shoulder, and back pain to skin irritation beneath the breast fold.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be noticeable scarring?
Some scarring is unavoidable with reduction surgery, though incisions are planned to be as inconspicuous as possible and fade considerably over time.
Does insurance ever cover this procedure?
This depends on your individual insurer and the degree of documented physical symptoms — this is worth discussing directly with your provider.
Will sensation be affected?
Some temporary change in nipple sensation is common after surgery, with most patients regaining normal or near-normal sensation over time.
