The Benefits of Breast Reduction

Clothing Fits Better

Many styles of clothing do not cater to a larger bust line. A breast reduction will create a more balanced hourglass shape that will boost a woman’s confidence both in and out of the fitting room.

Improves Physical Ability

Large, heavy breasts often impede performance in athletics as well as routine physical activities. A breast reduction can increase mobility and comfort to improve the overall quality of life for patients.

Reduces Back Pain

Heavy breasts cause severe back, neck, and shoulder pain and indentations in the shoulders from bra straps. This procedure will reduce the weight of overly large breasts and eliminate or significantly reduce the associated discomfort and pain.

Eliminates Skin Irritation

Skin irritation can occur beneath the breasts when they are excessively large. Breast reduction reduces the weight and lifts the breasts so they no longer irritate the skin.

Common Breast Reduction Concerns

Pain

Breast reduction surgery is not a painful surgery. Every patient is different. Most patients are managed with Tylenol. A surgical support bra will be placed which provides comfort in the early phases of healing.

Improves Physical Ability

Swelling and bruising will be apparent for at least the first two weeks, after which time most patients feel comfortable returning to work. After six weeks, patients can resume exercise and regular physical activities

Scars

Scars with breast reduction heal and fade over time. Typically, there will be a scar around the areola, a vertical scar from the areola to the breast crease, and a scar along the breast crease. Every patient is different.

Duration of Results

The results of breast reduction are permanent. Keep in mind, the breasts will continue to age naturally. Patients will experience lighter, more youthful breasts and increased comfort and confidence as a result of this procedure. Changes in age, weight, or hormones can always result in increased or decreased breast size over time.

The Breast Reduction Process

Consultation

Once you fill out the form above, you will be contacted to confirm an appointment for a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Nouri. This appointment includes an analysis of your health history, any medications you are taking, and what you desire to achieve with the procedure. Dr. Nouri will discuss the techniques that will best provide you with the results you desire and answer any questions you may have.

Preoperative Instructions

Dr. Nouri will review in detail all of the information you need to know prior to surgery. Generally, patients should avoid smoking and taking anti-inflammatory medication (e.g., aspirin and ibuprofen) for at least two weeks before surgery. Some vitamins and supplements may also cause problems during or after surgery, so it is best to avoid them or to talk to Dr. Nouri about potential side effects. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home and care for you for the first 48 hours after your procedure.

During the Procedure

Breast reduction is typically performed with general anesthesia and takes about four hours to complete. Incisions are typically around the areola, along the inframammary fold, and vertical connecting the two incisions.

Recovery

After surgery, you will be in a surgical support bra to aid with swelling and to keep you comfortable. Swelling will typically subside after about three weeks but may last as long as a few months. For the first few days after surgery, you will need to get plenty of rest and avoid bending or lifting. Most patients are able to return to work in one week and resume regular exercise after about six weeks. Your surgeon will give you more detailed information about what you can expect during your recovery.

Patient Reviews

Neda D

Great experience overall. Dr.Nouri was able to achieve exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed with my breast reduction. I appreciated that he didn’t overbook appointments, but he was always available to address any questions I had. I also really liked that he uses a modern approach to surgery as opposed to some older doctors that still do things the old way. Also, the office is very new, clean and always super friendly.

10/10 I cannot express enough how grateful I am. My breast reduction surgery truly gave me my life back. :mending_heart: From the very first consultation to every follow-up appointment, he was unbelievably professional, patient, and reassuring. He listened to my concerns, treated me with compassion, and made me feel safe every step of the way.

Katie G

Having a bilateral breast reduction is a deeply personal decision. I had lived with large breasts since my early 20s, and it impacted my daily life in so many ways. Dr. Nouri made the entire process feel personal, supportive, and compassionate.
From the very beginning through to recovery, Dr. Nouri clearly explained every step and set realistic expectations. Not only did he give me instant physical relief, but he also sculpted my breasts into a shape that looks even better than when they were in their prime.
