BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY | REDUCTION MAMMAPLASTY IN CHICAGO

at Concierge Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces breast tissue and removes excess skin to obtain a breast size that is more proportional to the rest of your body. This procedure can also reduce discomfort, such as back or neck pain, associated with large and heavy breasts, and improve body image and confidence by giving patients proportionally sized breasts that are firmer, perkier, and more youthful-looking.

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY FAQs

BREAST REDUCTION FAQS

Reduction mammaplasty prices vary per patient. Several factors influence breast reduction surgery cost. Some of these factors include:

  • The scope of the procedure and the techniques utilized
  • Discounts from combining breast reduction with other procedures (like a breast lift)
  • Anesthesia and surgical center fees
  • Medication prescription costs
  • Support garments


To determine how much breast reduction surgery may cost you, book a consultation with Concierge Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery. After a physical assessment, prices will be covered in detail. If this surgery is right for you, we will tailor a treatment plan that addresses your cosmetic concerns and matches your budget. We will also discuss financing options and other ways to save on reduction mammaplasty.

Your breast reduction will take place in an out-patient (same day) surgical center. Once you are prepped for surgery, you will be placed under general anesthesia.

To begin, Dr. Epstein or Dr. Martin will make an incision on your breasts. The type of incision will depend on the specifics of your situation and aesthetic goals. After making the incision, Dr. Epstein or Dr. Martin will reposition, and possibly reduce the areola (nipple.) They will then remove excess breast tissue and fat. He will also trim away excess skin. Following that, Dr. Epstein or Dr. Martin will lift, reshape, and reposition the tissue, using sutures deep within the tissue to support the new size and position of your breasts. They will then close the incisions and bandage them in supportive dressings.

Typically, patients experience discomfort, bruising, and swelling for one to two weeks following surgery. After the procedure, your breast will be bandaged, and you will be advised to wear a support bra for a specific amount of time. You will also be encouraged to limit physical activity to allow your breasts to heal.

Your new breast shape and size should be immediately apparent. Best of all, reduction mammaplasty results are long-lasting. Breast reduction scars will fade with time, but they will never fully disappear. Dr. Epstein or Dr. Martin will use precise placement to ensure the scars are covered when wearing a bra or swimsuit.

In a questionnaire sent out to over 300 reduction mammaplasty patients, breast reduction was shown to produce a remarkably high satisfaction rate among patients along with a consistent ability to reduce the cosmetic concerns and physical symptoms of having disproportionately large breasts.

According to the survey published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 97% of women who opted for breast reduction surgery did so because they felt “uncomfortable…about their body.” 95% of those surveyed complained about an “inability to find clothes that fit.” Beyond cosmetic concerns, most women also noted a significant impact on their standard of living. 86% reported an “inability to run,” and 77% reported an “inability to participate in sports” as one of the motivating reasons they underwent reduction mammaplasty. Besides physical restrictions, many reported pain or discomfort arising from the size of their breasts. 92% reported “pain in bra strap groove.” 79% reported “upper back pain.” 70% reported “neck pain.” And 64% reported “lower back pain.” The majority of those surveyed (88 percent) reported a cessation or major reduction of these symptoms following their breast reduction surgery.

The survey also demonstrates the exceptionally high satisfaction rate among patients of this procedure. Of those surveyed, 97% “responded that they definitely…would have the procedure again.”

If your breasts are too large or heavy for your body, breast reduction surgery may be right for you.
