Considering the Benefits of Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is designed to reshape, resize, and lift the breasts for improved comfort and proportion. Whether you're seeking relief from physical discomfort or looking to achieve a more balanced silhouette, this procedure can be truly transformative.

A breast reduction may be right for you if you experience:

  • Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain due to heavy breasts
  • Painful bra strap indentations or recurring skin irritation
  • Poor posture caused by the weight of your breasts
  • Difficulty finding bras, swimwear, or clothing that fits properly
  • Self-consciousness about breast size or asymmetry
  • Limitations on physical activities, such as running or yoga

During your private consultation for breast reduction surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Galanis will get to know you and your aspirations. He will assess your breast size, body proportions, and personal goals to create a customized surgical plan tailored to your ideal shape.

A Customized Surgical Experience: The Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Dr. Galanis utilizes advanced surgical techniques to achieve a lifted, proportionate, and natural-looking result. Dr. Galanis will determine the best incision type based on your anatomy and the amount of reduction needed.

  • Lollipop Incision (Vertical Technique): Ideal for moderate reductions, this approach includes an incision around the areola with a vertical line down the lower breast.
  • Anchor Incision (Inverted-T Technique): Used for larger reductions, this method adds a horizontal incision along the breast crease for maximum reshaping.

Surgical Steps

  1. Precise Incisions: The incision type is carefully selected to minimize visible scarring.
  2. Tissue & Fat Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to create a smaller, lifted breast shape.
  3. Nipple & Areola Repositioning: If necessary, the nipple-areola complex is lifted to a more youthful position while maintaining sensation.
  4. Contouring & Closure: The remaining tissue is reshaped for a firm, balanced contour, and incisions are meticulously closed to optimize healing.

Recovering From Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction is an outpatient procedure, meaning most patients return home the same day. Immediate relief from back and neck pain is common, and final results emerge as swelling subsides over the following 3 to 6 months. Recovery Timeline:

  • Days 1-7: Initial swelling and mild discomfort (managed with pain medication). Light walking is encouraged.
  • Weeks 1-2: Compression bra worn to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients can return to work.
  • Weeks 3-4: Transition to a soft sports bra. Moderate activity is permitted.
  • Weeks 5-6: Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise can gradually resume.
  • Months 3-6: Final breast shape settles into place and scars begin to fade.

Dr. Galanis provides personalized aftercare and follow-ups to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. When you choose Galanis Plastic Surgery, you get an attentive team that will be with you on this journey every step of the way.

Breast Reduction Cost & Insurance Coverage

Breast reduction surgery may be covered by insurance if deemed medically necessary. Insurance providers often require documentation of physical symptoms, such as chronic pain or skin irritation, to approve coverage. During your consultation, we can help you ensure you have all the right information gathered to help make this life-changing procedure accessible.
