A surgical procedure to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin—often done to ease back, neck, or shoulder pain and improve posture and body balance.
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to your body. Many women in seek breast reduction to relieve chronic discomfort such as back pain, neck strain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, and skin irritation under the breasts.
This surgical procedure not only alleviates physical symptoms but also enhances posture and body balance.
At Dermatology Skin and Surgery Center, plastic surgeon Dr. Sumita Saha delivers natural, symmetrical results with a personalized approach focused on comfort and confidence. In some cases, breast reduction may also be covered by insurance when deemed medically necessary.
What to expect
During your consultation, Dr. Sumita Saha will evaluate your symptoms, breast size, and overall health to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours. Incisions are carefully placed—often around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease—to allow for tissue removal and reshaping.
Post-operative swelling, soreness, and bruising are common for the first one to two weeks. Most patients in return to work or daily routines within 10–14 days, avoiding strenuous activity for four to six weeks. You'll be fitted with a surgical bra to support healing, and follow-up visits ensure your recovery stays on track. Over time, the scars fade, and patients often report dramatic improvements in both comfort and body image.
