The Consultation & Tailored Approach

No two breast reductions are the same. Your procedure will be designed based on your unique anatomy, symptoms, and desired breast size. Our surgeons focus on achieving both physical relief and aesthetic harmony, ensuring your results look natural and balanced.



We utilize advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and preserve nipple sensation whenever possible. During your consultation, we will review your medical history, evaluate your goals, and design a customized surgical plan for you.

Preparing for Your Breast Reduction Journey

What to Expect with Surgery

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately two to four hours, depending on the extent of the reduction.


During your surgery:

  • Excess breast tissue and fat are carefully removed
  • The breast is reshaped for a natural contour
  • The nipple and areola are repositioned for balanced results
  • Incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize visible scarring

Most patients can return home the same day, with a detailed recovery plan tailored to ensure comfort and optimal healing.

Results & Longevity

Most patients experience significant relief from physical discomfort within days of surgery. Swelling and mild soreness are normal and gradually subside over the following weeks.



You can typically return to light activities within one week and resume normal routines within four to six weeks. As your healing progresses, your breasts will settle into their new, natural shape, and scars will continue to fade over time.


Our team provides ongoing follow-up care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction at every stage of recovery.
