Why Get Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is also known as Reduction Mammaplasty. Women who may be unhappy about having large breasts, and/or want to treat symptoms such as back pain, breathing problems and poor posture, may benefit from breast reduction, during which fat, glandular tissue and skin are removed from the breasts. The resultant smaller breasts increase patient comfort, and look more in proportion to the rest of the body. Ideal candidates for breast reduction in Fairfield County are women with oversized breasts that are causing medical problems, low self-esteem, and/or physical or social discomfort.

The Benefits of Breast Reduction

Chronic discomfort from overly large breasts often dictates what you can wear and how you move. Removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin lightens the load on your spine and changes how you carry yourself.

Lower Body Stress: Taking the weight off your chest brings immediate relief for neck pain and back strain.
Healthier Skin: Ending the constant friction in the breast fold stops skin irritation and recurring rashes.
Active Living: Women find that physical activity and high-impact exercise feel accessible again.
Shoulder Comfort: You can stop the deep grooving and pain caused by heavy bras pulling on your shoulders.
Lifted Shape: The procedure includes a breast lift to reposition the nipple and areola for a more natural breast shape.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Most Fairfield County breast reduction patients deal with persistent neck pain or poor posture that physical therapy hasn't fixed. We look for healthy adults with stable weight and realistic expectations for their bodies. Your plastic surgeon will walk through your medical history, family history, and smoking history to confirm you can heal safely.

Safety is the baseline of our practice. Active smoking is a major hurdle because nicotine prevents blood from reaching the glandular tissue during recovery. During your consultation, we check your recent mammogram and discuss the size of your breasts to build a customized treatment plan.

The Reduction Mammaplasty Procedure

At the Aesthetic Center in Fairfield County breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the technique used and the individual case, it takes from 2 to 5 hours to perform. One of the following incisions is often used:

Two rings, one larger than the other, around the areola
A keyhole shape, around the areola and down to the breast crease
An anchor shape, beginning in the breast crease, and extending up to and around the areola

Liposuction alone is sometimes used to reduce breast size. One advantage is that it leaves little-to-no scarring. However, because liposuction removes only fatty tissue, patients must have more fatty than glandular tissue in their breasts. Liposuction is also often used on men whose breasts are enlarged.

Recovery From Breast Reduction Surgery

Following a breast reduction Fairfield County patients typically experience soreness, swelling and bruising for several days. Bandages are removed after 2 days, and replaced with a surgical bra. Physical activity should be limited for 1 to 2 weeks, while exercise and other strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 4 weeks. Stitches are removed after 2 to 3 weeks, at which point most patients return to work and other regular activities.

The results of breast reduction are noticeable immediately after surgery. As swelling and bruising subside, the breasts’ appearance improves. Scars fade with time, and usually cannot be seen when a patient wears a bathing suit or low-cut top.

Breast Reduction Results

Fairfield County Breast Reduction patients will notice the lack of physical weight the moment they leave surgery. As swelling fades, the tissue relaxes, and the skin adjusts to the new breast size. The final shape takes a few months to settle into place.

These changes are permanent; once we remove the excess tissue, it stays gone. Your body will still age naturally, but the relief from large breasts remains. Maintaining a steady weight and following your follow-up care plan helps you maintain your results for years.

Why Choose The Aesthetic Center for Breast Reduction?

Technical skill matters when you are changing your body. Our team has spent years performing breast surgery. We use specific surgical techniques to ensure your new breast size fits your specific frame. We perform every reduction mammaplasty in an accredited hospital-grade environment.

Cost of Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction pricing reflects the specific work required for your anatomy. Removing very large breasts or correcting significant asymmetry requires different levels of time and fat removal. During your consultation, we provide a clear breakdown of the surgeon fees, general anesthesia, and the outpatient procedure facility costs.

A breast reduction is frequently a medical necessity rather than a purely aesthetic choice. Your quote includes your surgical bra and all necessary follow-up care. We also offer financing through PatientFi to help you manage the investment.

Breast Reduction Surgery

In addition to the risks associated with any Breast Reduction surgery, risks related to breast reduction, depending on the technique used, include the following:

Loss of sensation
Scarring
Asymmetry
Excessive firmness
Inability to breast-feed
Loss of skin/tissue where incisions meet
Partial or total loss of areola and nipple

Although breast reduction provides long-lasting results, breasts are still subject to the effects of aging and gravity.

Breast Reduction FAQs

Can I Get Breast Reduction Surgery If I Am Pregnant?

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot undergo reduction mammaplasty.

Will a Breast Reduction affect breastfeeding?

We use surgical techniques to preserve the milk ducts, but nursing ability can still decrease. If you plan to have children, we should discuss this during your consultation.

How much weight comes off with?

It varies based on your body goals and the amount of excess breast tissue present. We focus on a breast size that relieves your pain while looking natural.

What about the scars with a Breast Reduction?

Scars generally sit around the areola and in the breast fold. They are permanent, but they fade into thin lines that stay hidden under most bras.

Can I get a lift at the same time as a Breast Reduction?

A reduction mammoplasty naturally functions as a lift. We remove excess skin and shift the tissue upward to achieve a firmer, more elevated profile.

When can I exercise again after a Breast Reduction?

Expect to wait about six weeks before hitting the gym for high-impact physical activity. While you can walk and move around early in Breast Reduction recovery, your tissue needs time to bond and heal.
