About Breast Reduction

Surgery to remove breast tissue, fat and skin and adjust breast size and shape.

Reducing tissue and reshaping the breast

The official reduction page describes removing breast tissue, fat and skin to change breast size and shape. Its discussion includes concerns such as physical discomfort, asymmetry and changes in nipple or areola proportions. It describes different incision approaches, including an anchor pattern, selected according to the extent of reshaping.

Describing symptoms and goals

Tell the surgeon about physical symptoms as well as the size and shape change you are considering. Ask how the plan would address each breast, whether existing asymmetry affects the approach and what limitations apply. The consultation should also cover scars, sensation and future considerations relevant to you. If you wish to investigate insurance coverage, ask the office what documentation and separate payer confirmation would be needed.

Questions for your consultation

• What degree of reduction is being considered for each breast?
• Which incision pattern and nipple-position changes are proposed?
• How might sensation or future breastfeeding be affected?
• What records would be needed if I ask about insurance eligibility?
