Breast Reduction Overview

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a more proportionate breast size. This alleviates discomfort like back, neck, and shoulder pain. The procedure also reshapes and lifts the breasts for a more balanced and youthful appearance. At Precision Medical Arts, we customize each breast reduction in Long Island to match your body type and goals, ensuring results that enhance both comfort and aesthetics.

What are Complementary Procedures for Breast Reduction in Long Island?

Many women choose to undergo a set of surgical procedures in the same surgical appointment as  breast reduction, which may include:

What is Recovery Like After a Breast Lift?

After your breast reduction in Long Island, you may return home the same day, or you may elect to stay for 23 hours in the hospital for close observation, which is voluntary and is covered by most insurances. You will be wearing a surgical bra to protect your breasts. Our breast surgeon will follow up with you over the next few days to ensure your recovery is successful and uneventful. You will have several follow-up appointments a week after surgery, two weeks after surgery, six weeks after surgery, and at the three-month mark.

Breast reductions are typically covered by insurance. In cases where a patient does not have qualifying insurance coverage, the price range varies based on the complexity of the procedure needed. Every surgical plan is tailored according to your desires, needs, and the current condition of your breasts.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery in Long Island?

Women who have excess breast tissue can struggle with several painful symptoms and have aesthetic concerns. The weight of the breast tissue can cause the breasts to droop, straining the back, limiting physical activity, and leading to difficulties finding well-fitting clothing. Heavy, pendulous breasts can lead to:

  • Neck, shoulder, and back pain
  • Diminished range of motion
  • Bruising or skin abrasions from bra straps
  • Skin irritation below the creases of the breasts
  • Bras leave deep grooves in the shoulders
  • Rashes beneath the breasts
  • Posture issues
  • Emotional discomfort

Over time, the physical discomfort can become more extreme, impacting your overall confidence and becoming a source of emotional distress. Ideal candidates are women with overly large, heavy breasts who don’t smoke and are in good general health.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction? 

Breast reduction significantly alleviates or fully resolves the chronic pain associated with heavy breasts. The procedure can also help restore posture and balance. Breast reduction delivers an aesthetic improvement, creating a figure in which the breasts are beautifully proportioned. The patients at Precision Medical Arts enjoy the freedom they experience after undergoing a custom breast reduction, with the ability to engage in more physical activities, purchase regular bra and clothing sizes, and finally have relief from back and neck pain. Breast reduction often proves to be a life-changing procedure, and because of its long-term health benefits, many insurance providers cover the cost of surgery.

Breast ReductionThe Basics of the Procedure.

Each breast reduction in Long Island differs based on individual factors, including your figure, frame, and breast density. However, they share some basic elements. A breast reduction is similar to a breast lift in that it elevates the areolas and nipples and raises the profile of the breasts.

One key difference is that breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and stretched skin, and often includes precision liposuction to remove excess fat that often weighs down the breasts. The nipple structure may need to be repositioned to be in the ideal spot at the center of the resculpted breast mound.

The remaining breast tissue is then tightened and contoured for a symmetrical, natural-looking appearance. Breast reduction is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and the results are immediately noticeable and last indefinitely, though the breast tissue is not exempt from the effects of natural aging.
