What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure to help women with large, pendulous breasts achieve a more proportional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing size.
Unlike a breast lift or breast augmentation, which focus on elevating sagging breasts or enlarging small breasts, reduction surgery involves the removal of excess tissue, fat, and skin, thereby alleviating the discomfort associated with overly large, heavy breasts.
A breast reduction can be a life-changing solution for women experiencing physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation under the breast crease, or limitations in physical activities due to their breast size. It can also address emotional distress or self-consciousness associated with large breasts. By attaining a breast size in harmony with your body frame, breast reduction surgery can significantly improve your quality of life, boosting your self-confidence and broadening your physical activity options.
What Issues Does Breast Reduction Surgery Improve?
Breast reduction surgery addresses the functional and aesthetic concerns associated with having overly large breasts, providing relief from physical discomfort while improving body proportions and overall appearance.
Aesthetic Issues
- Proportional resizing: Breast reduction surgery helps in achieving a more balanced proportions by resizing the breasts to be in harmony with the rest of the body.
- Reshaping: Through breast reduction, the breasts appear firmer and more toned, enhancing your overall contours.
- Nipple reshaping and repositioning: The surgery can also correct enlarged or downward-facing nipples by reshaping and repositioning them to a more aesthetically pleasing position.
- Improved symmetry: By addressing size and shape discrepancies between the breasts, breast reduction surgery can improve symmetry, providing a more balanced appearance.
Medical Issues
- Alleviation of physical discomfort: Individuals with large breasts often experience back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breast fold, and indentations from bra straps. Breast reduction surgery alleviates such issues by reducing the weight and size of the breasts.
- Enhanced mobility and physical activity: The reduction in breast size can significantly improve mobility and allow for a broader range of physical activities, which might have previously been restricted.
- Improved posture: The weight of large breasts can lead to poor posture and related issues. By reducing this weight, breast reduction surgery can contribute to improved posture and alleviate associated discomfort.
- Increased confidence and quality of life: Much like other cosmetic procedures, breast reduction surgery can significantly boost self-confidence and body image, positively impacting your quality of life.
Am I a Good Candidate for Beverly Hills Breast Reduction Surgery?
Women seeking relief from the physical and emotional discomfort associated with overly large breasts could be potential candidates for breast reduction surgery. Here are some factors to consider before committing to this procedure.
- Physical health: Being in good health is essential when considering any surgery, even one done primarily for cosmetic reasons. The procedure requires anesthesia and carries inherent risks, so it’s crucial for any chronic conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular issues to be well-managed. Healthy patients are more likely to have a smoother surgical experience and better healing.
- Age: While there isn’t a specific age requirement for a breast reduction, we recommend waiting until your breasts have fully finished developing before considering this surgery. It’s also advisable to hold off on surgery until you have finished adding to your family, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the surgical results.
- Non-smoking: It’s well-established that smoking can interfere with the body’s natural healing process, posing potential complications during and after surgery. Please quit smoking or vaping at least two weeks before surgery and remain smoke-free while you recover.
- Realistic expectations: Having realistic expectations is crucial when considering breast reduction surgery. While this procedure reduces breast size and alleviates associated discomfort, it cannot drastically change every area of your life. Ideally, you should also pursue this surgery for personal satisfaction and well-being rather than trying to live up to external pressures or unrealistic ideals.
- Breast size: Women with overly large, heavy breasts that cause physical discomfort or impact daily activities and self-confidence are typically good candidates for breast reduction surgery.
- Commitment to post-surgical care: Being ready to adhere to post-operative instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle post-surgery is crucial for achieving and maintaining the best possible results.

What Does Dr. Stepanyan and Dr. Lee’s Beverly Hills Breast Reduction Procedure Involve?
This practice takes a personalized, thorough approach to each patient’s breast reduction procedure, ensuring safety at every turn. The process encompasses several steps before, during, and after the procedure.
During your consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic and comfort desires and undergo a comprehensive health assessment to ensure your suitability for the procedure. Upon deciding to proceed, you may undergo some medical tests, and your surgeons will provide guidance on medications to avoid and the importance of smoking cessation to promote better healing.
On the day of your surgery, you will be under general anesthesia for your comfort. The procedure generally lasts between two to three hours, depending on its extent. Your surgeon will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, and reshape the breasts to achieve a more proportionate and comfortable size and shape. They conclude the surgery by closing the incisions and applying dressings to aid in the healing process.
Breast reduction surgery is generally an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day with a responsible adult to drive you. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which you can manage with prescription medications. Wearing a specialized surgical support bra can support your newly shaped breasts during the initial healing period.
A gradual return to light activities is usually possible within one to two weeks, while you should avoid more strenuous activities for up to six weeks to allow for proper healing.
Your surgeons will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results, and sticking to all your post-operative instructions is pivotal for achieving the best possible outcomes.
The full aesthetic and comfort benefits of your breast reduction will become more apparent several months post-surgery as any residual swelling subsides and the breast tissues settle into their new position.
