Heavy breasts can cause neck spasms, bra-strap dents, and frustration during workouts, especially in the Texas heat.
Breast reduction in Austin often uses a vertical technique that removes gland and fat, reshapes the breasts toward a C-cup or athletic profile, and tightens skin in one procedure. Surgeons select vertical, lollipop, or anchor incision patterns based on cup size. They work to preserve sensation when possible and may also use liposuction on the sides of the chest for a smoother contour. Insurance coverage is sometimes available when more than 500 grams of tissue per breast are removed and pain is documented, making the procedure both accessible and lasting in its relief.
Breast reduction surgery in Austin usually lasts between two and a half and three and a half hours under general anesthesia. Incisions are made in a vertical pattern for B to D cup sizes or an anchor pattern for DD and larger. Drains are rarely required. Patients wear a front-zip surgical bra for about six weeks. Pain is typically mild to moderate and is managed with NSAIDs, with most discomfort resolving by the third day.
Recovery milestones are gradual. Desk work is often possible by day five, and most patients can drive by day seven. Walking is encouraged from the first day, with light cardio beginning in the second week. Upper-body weight training usually resumes around week six. Scar care often includes silicone tape or gel beginning on day ten, followed by the use of SPF 50 to protect healing skin.
The cost of breast reduction in Austin ranges from $8,000 to $12,000, with an average of about $9,800. Swelling usually improves by the third month, while thin scars continue to fade over the course of twelve months.
