Breast Reduction

Relief and proportion

Reducing breast size for comfort, proportion, and relief

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to relieve the physical discomfort of overly large breasts and create a size more proportionate to your frame. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, breast reduction is performed in a private OR by a dedicated clinical team experienced in breast surgery.

Real relief. Better proportion. A more comfortable frame.

What is breast reduction?

Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, and repositions the nipple and areola to create a smaller, more proportionate breast shape. Many patients pursue this procedure for relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Most patients return home the same day.

FAQs

Common questions about this service and what to expect.

Will I need a follow-up appointment at the facility?

Post-operative follow-up is managed through your surgeon's office. Our team coordinates closely to ensure continuity of care throughout your recovery.

How much smaller will my breasts be?

The amount of tissue removed is planned collaboratively with your surgeon based on your goals, anatomy, and the degree of symptom relief desired.

Will I be able to breastfeed after this procedure?

Breast reduction can affect the ability to breastfeed, depending on technique and individual anatomy. Discuss your plans with your surgeon during consultation.

Will I lose sensation in my nipples?

Changes in nipple sensation are possible and are typically temporary, though permanent changes can occur in some cases. Your surgeon will discuss this risk during consultation.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia, administered and monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist throughout the procedure.

Will there be visible scarring?

Incision patterns depend on the amount of tissue removed and are placed to minimize visibility. Scars fade significantly over 12–18 months.

Is breast reduction covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan and is often considered when symptoms such as back or shoulder pain are documented as medically necessary. Our team can help you understand the verification process.

How long does breast reduction recovery take?

Most patients return to light activity within a week and to work within 1–2 weeks. Strenuous exercise is typically restricted for 4–6 weeks. Swelling gradually resolves over several months.
