Your goals. A considered approach.

Breast reduction removes breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and reshape the breasts. Your consultation can address heaviness, clothing fit, activity, and the proportions you prefer.

01 · Your options

Consider how you want to feel.

A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.

Size and shape

Discuss a realistic range of change rather than a guaranteed cup size.

Daily comfort

Share concerns about shoulder grooves, skin irritation, or discomfort during activity.

Incisions and support

Review the planned scars, nipple position, and recovery needs.

02 · Your consultation

A conversation comes first.

Bring your questions about breast reduction. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.

  1. Share your priorities

    Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.

  2. Explore your options

    Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.

  3. Plan the practical details

    Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.

03 · Recovery

Make room for your recovery.

Allow time for swelling, incision care, and a gradual return to lifting and exercise. Your support garment and activity plan will be personalized. Arrange help with physically demanding tasks.

04 · Important considerations

An informed choice is a personal one.

Risks include scarring, asymmetry, delayed healing, infection, and changes in nipple sensation or breastfeeding ability. Discuss the possibility of nipple or tissue-healing complications. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Common questions

Let’s talk through it.

Can I choose an exact cup size?

Bra sizing varies. Measurements and a discussion of proportion are more useful than promising a particular cup size.

Is insurance coverage available?

Ask the team about current payment policies and your quote. Coverage and eligibility should be confirmed directly rather than assumed.

How much does breast reduction cost?

Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.

How do I get started?

Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
