    Breast reduction surgery offers women with large, heavy breasts the option to reduce the size of their breasts while maintaining a natural shape. Medically called “reduction mammaplasty”, breast reduction surgery is designed to remove excess breast skin, fat, and glandular tissues to reshape your breasts to a smaller, more proportionate, balanced size and shape. The changes to your outlook, confidence, and lifestyle can be dramatic and can greatly improve your physical comfort.

    Your breasts will be altered in size and restored to a balanced, plump look that lasts, as tissues have been removed.

    How much should I change my breast size?

    You have likely dreamed of having the ability to exercise comfortably and wear normal sized tops that fit your figure beautifully. In your consultation with Dr. Courtney, you should have an idea about what bra size you would like to have when your procedure is completed.

    How should I prepare for breast reduction and lift surgery?

    We will work with you to help you prepare for your surgery. Generally, you should adjust any medications as recommended by Dr. Courtney. You should also quit smoking, drinking, and other habits that may hinder your results in any way.

    Will I need someone to help me after surgery?

    Because breast reduction is a major surgery, we strongly recommend that you have another trusted adult to take you home and watch over you for the first night after surgery. From there on, you’ll continue to improve and quickly become self-sufficient.
