A breast reduction is performed under anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Your surgeon removes excess breast tissue and skin, reshapes the breast, and typically lifts and repositions the nipple-areola complex for a more balanced contour. Incision patterns vary based on your anatomy and the amount of reduction needed.After surgery, expect swelling, soreness, and tightness that gradually improves. Many patients feel more comfortable and “lighter” quickly, but results continue refining as swelling resolves over the following weeks to months.
