What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size of large breasts by removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a more balanced and pleasing appearance while improving the natural shape of the breasts. In many cases, the size of the areolae is also reduced proportionately.

This surgery not only enhances the aesthetic appearance but also alleviates the discomfort associated with heavy breasts, such as neck pain, back pain, and numbness.

Breast Reduction Procedure

During your breast reduction in Traverse City, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffries, removes excess fatty and glandular breast tissue, along with surplus skin, to achieve a more harmonious balance with your body. This often results in a lifted breast shape and repositioned nipples. Additionally, the areolas may be resized and reshaped to enhance overall aesthetics.

Breast reduction is a personalized procedure tailored to your unique anatomy and desired outcome. Typically, incisions are made around the areola and vertically on the lower breast area, resulting in scars that gradually fade and soften over time, typically within a year. Your surgeon prioritizes preserving nipple sensation whenever possible.

The surgery typically lasts one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Following recovery from anesthesia, you can return home to receive care from your supportive family or friends.
