Breast Reduction
Reduction MammoplastyTransform Your Comfort and Confidence.
At Plastic Surgery Associates of SD, we understand that overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate breast size, alleviating discomfort and enhancing your quality of life.
Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve a harmonious body contour that not only improves your appearance but also alleviates discomfort and enhances your overall well-being.
This Service is Great for:
- Relieving Physical Discomfort: To alleviate chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders caused by the strain of breast size.
- Improving Posture: To correct posture problems and reduce the strain on the spine and muscles from the weight of large breasts.
- Enhancing Physical Activity: To make it easier to participate in physical activities and exercise without the limitations and discomfort of large breasts.
- Reducing Skin Irritation: To address skin irritation, rashes, and infections that can occur under the breasts due to excessive size and weight.
- Achieving Proportional Appearance: To attain a more balanced and proportionate body contour, enhancing overall body image and confidence.
- Improving Confidence: To wear a wider variety of clothing styles comfortably, as large breasts can make it difficult to find well-fitting bras and clothing.

FAQs
In many cases, insurance can cover breast reduction surgery, but it depends on the individual policy and specific circumstances. Breast reduction is often deemed medically necessary when it addresses health issues such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and other physical discomforts caused by overly large breasts. To qualify for coverage, patients typically need to provide documentation from their healthcare provider detailing the medical necessity of the procedure. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and requirements. Our office can assist with the necessary paperwork and insurance verification process to help you navigate this aspect of your surgery.
Good candidates are individuals who experience physical discomfort (such as back, neck, and shoulder pain), skin irritation, or difficulty participating in physical activities due to the size of their breasts. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
The results of breast reduction surgery are generally long-lasting. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, and pregnancy can affect breast size and shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results.
Recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication. Most patients can return to light activities and work within 1 to 2 weeks, while strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery and final results can take several months.
