Large breasts can cause physical and psychological discomfort. The weight of your large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, embarrassment, and self-consciousness. A breast reduction decreases the size of your breasts and reshapes them for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

It’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness after breast reduction. Your team will review your pain management options and ensure your comfort. Discomfort improves significantly after the first few days. However, each person’s recovery experience is unique.

The cost of breast reduction varies widely depending on many factors. We recommend a consultation to discuss your treatment goals and provide you with a more accurate estimate. Factors that affect the cost of your breast reduction include:

• Your surgeon’s skill and experience

• The type of breast reduction procedure

• Anesthesia and other associated expenses

You will start to feel more like yourself again about a week after surgery. Soreness and swelling usually improve within two weeks, and more people can go back to work by that time. Follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully post-surgery. You can resume most normal activities within four to six weeks.

Each breast reduction procedure is unique. The types of incisions used depend on the size of your breasts and many other factors. Dr. Waltzman will explain the details of your surgery and where you can expect to have scars afterward. 

Breast reduction removes excess skin, fat, and breast tissue to decrease your breast size. Fat and breast tissue will not grow back, making breast reduction results usually permanent. However, you can expect some age-related changes, including minor drooping over time.
