Your Body, Your Blueprint

The first step of your breast reduction process begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Cohen, where you’ll discuss your concerns and goals and create a unique blueprint for your surgery. On your big day, wear comfortable clothes and arrange for someone to drive you home. Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about 3 hours. After the surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area before being discharged to return home the same day.

You Recover, We’ll Do the Rest

After surgery, your job is to relax and recover. But we expect patients to function normally around the home and walk regularly. Schedule one to two weeks off work to give yourself time to heal. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days following the procedure which are controlled with the prescription medications. Dr. Cohen will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including guidance on managing pain, caring for incisions, and wearing a supportive bra to make your recovery as smooth as possible.

FAQ Breast Reduction

Am I a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?

If you experience physical discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, or have emotional distress related to the size of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction. Dr. Cohen will assess your specific needs during your consultation.

Will there be visible scars after surgery?

This procedure involves making incisions. Depending on your surgery, some may be around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast fold. These incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. With proper care, scars will fade over time and become less noticeable.

How long do the results of breast reduction last?

The results of breast reduction surgery are long-lasting. However, factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, aging, and hormonal changes can impact the shape and size of your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results.

Can breast reduction be combined with other procedures?

Yes, breast reduction can be combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, to achieve more comprehensive results. Dr. Cohen will discuss your options and create a tailored treatment plan based on your goals.

How soon can I return to normal activities after surgery?

You can typically return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks and resume work after 2 to 3 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure proper healing and achieve the best results.
