Breast reduction removes tissue and skin to achieve breasts that are proportionate, lifted and more comfortable. For many patients it is, before anything aesthetic, a quality-of-life surgery.
Back and neck pain, bra-strap grooves and difficulty exercising are frequent reasons for consultation. With training in breast surgery, Dr. Yolotzin plans each reduction with care for the blood supply to the nipple and its sensation.
The resulting scars (around the areola and vertical, sometimes in an inverted T) are explained clearly in consultation and cared for with a scar-maturation protocol.

What you should know
How it's done, how to care for it and what to expect.
General information so you arrive at your consultation with the right questions. Your plan is defined at your consultation.
Technique
Anchor or vertical incision pattern depending on how much tissue needs to be removed.
Breast tissue and skin are removed and the nipple-areola complex is lifted while preserving its blood supply and sensation in most cases.
Can be combined with lateral liposculpture for a cleaner contour.
Aftercare
Wire-free support bra for 6 weeks.
Sleep semi-upright the first few nights.
Scar care with silicone and sun protection from the third week.
Results and how long they last
Relief for the back and neck is immediate. The final shape shows at 3 months and the scars mature over the first year.
Risks and how we reduce them
Possible changes in sensation, difficulty breastfeeding in the future and visible but planned scars. We talk about this openly, especially if you are planning pregnancies.
