During a breast reduction, your plastic surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, then reshapes and elevates the remaining breast to create a size and contour more proportionate with your body.
Typically, the incision patterns include a circular cut around the areola, a vertical drop from the areola to the inframammary fold, and often a horizontal incision along that fold.
The surgeon usually repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height while working to preserve blood supply and nerve connections. In some cases, they will utilize liposuction of the lateral breast or axillary (under-arm) breast tissue to refine the contour.
The procedure usually takes two to four hours under general anesthesia. Since we perform the breast reduction procedure in our accredited, in-office surgical facility in Southlake, we prioritize your comfort, privacy, and continuity of care from the first consultation through to recovery, all while promoting amazing results.
You will spend time discussing your breast reduction goals and reviewing your anatomy, incision options, tissue removal estimates, and the expected breast size and shape outcome.
We will review before-and-after photos of prior patients and discuss risks, anesthesia, and post-operative plans. Our surgical coordinator will explain scheduling, discuss insurance or financing options, and set your follow-up timeline.
At your pre-operative visit, you will receive detailed instructions including what to stop (medications and supplements), arrange (transport and garments), and prepare (sleeping position and recovery area at home).
Your Southlake surgeon begins the breast reshaping procedure by marking your breasts in standing and reclining positions to evaluate skin quality, breast volume, and symmetry. They then map an incision plan to remove tissue and skin in a way that lifts the breast mound, repositions the nipple, and re-contours the lower breast.
After the procedure, you will wear a supportive surgical bra or compression garment. We will then transfer you to recovery and monitor you until you are ready for discharge.
Expect moderate swelling and bruising for the first one to two weeks, with gradual improvement in the following six weeks, during which you will wear a supportive surgical bra.
You should limit vigorous upper-body exercise for at least four to six weeks, but engaging in gentle walking and light movement promotes circulation. Scar maturation continues for 12-18 months. We provide scar care guidance to help minimize scars for breast reduction patients, so you can feel more confident in showing it off at the beach.
Beyond achieving a smaller breast size, the procedure lifts the mound, improves projection, and places the breasts in a more anatomically favorable position. Internal reshaping techniques protect the nipple-areola complex, maintain sensitivity, and support long-term contour. Your pre-operative planning, surgery, and post-operative care for breast reduction are all aligned under one roof!
