Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size while relieving discomfort.
Good candidates experience physical symptoms such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or functional limitations due to large breasts. Your surgeon will evaluate your health, breast size, and goals during a consultation in Battle Creek or Jackson, MI.
Some procedures may be covered when deemed medically necessary. Our team can assist with insurance verification and documentation requirements.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are typically made around the areola and down to the breast crease, allowing tissue removal, reshaping, and repositioning of the nipple for a natural, symmetrical appearance.
Most patients experience swelling, soreness, and bruising during the first 1–2 weeks. Light activity is often resumed in 10–14 days, with strenuous exercise avoided for 4–6 weeks.
Scars are permanent but fade over time. Incision placement is carefully planned to be as discreet as possible.
Benefits include relief from chronic discomfort, improved posture, easier physical activity, and enhanced body proportion and confidence.
Patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, and surrounding Michigan communities can schedule a consultation with Dr. Sumita Saha, our board-certified plastic surgeon, to discuss your goals, procedure options, and personalized treatment plan.
