Relieve discomfort. Restore proportion. Renew confidence.
For women experiencing the physical and emotional burden of overly large breasts, breast reduction surgery can be life-changing. At PSG, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform breast reduction to reduce excess tissue, reshape the breast, and create a lighter, more balanced silhouette.
Beyond aesthetic improvement, this procedure often relieves chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain while improving posture, mobility, and overall comfort. Many patients describe feeling physically lighter and more confident after surgery.
For women experiencing documented medical symptoms related to breast size, breast reduction may be partially or fully covered under the Medical Services Plan (MSP), depending on eligibility criteria.

Because every patient’s anatomy is unique, surgical planning is tailored to achieve proportion, comfort, and long-term balance. You will receive a clear explanation of what the procedure can and cannot accomplish, allowing you to make an informed decision.
The choice of technique depends on your anatomy and the degree of reduction required.
Often referred to as the “lollipop” incision, this technique includes a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision extending downward. It is typically used for moderate reductions and offers effective reshaping with less extensive scarring.
This approach includes an incision around the areola, vertically downward, and along the inframammary fold. It is commonly used for larger reductions or significant sagging, allowing for maximum reshaping and skin removal.
In select patients with mild reduction needs, more limited incisions may be appropriate. Your surgeon will recommend the safest and most predictable technique based on your anatomy and goals.
There are no age requirements for breast reduction. In younger candidates, our plastic surgeons advise waiting until breast development is complete. Operating on breasts that are still growing can be risky.
Yes. Your desired size will be discussed during your consultation. While exact cup size cannot be guaranteed, your surgeon will aim for proportional, balanced results aligned with your goals and anatomy.
Yes. Scarring is unavoidable due to the surgical incisions. However, the scars can be hidden underneath a bra or bathing suit top. Also, the amount and location of scarring depend on the specific incision pattern used and your genetic tendency to scarring (some people tend to have thicker scars). There are many different ways to perform breast reduction, and whenever possible, our surgeons use incisions that follow the natural lines of the breast. Although we can recommend techniques to minimize scarring, we cannot change your genetics or make scars disappear completely. However, keep in mind that our patients often tell us they are happy to trade some scarring for lighter, more proportional breasts.
Modern surgical techniques preserve the nipple’s connection to underlying tissue whenever possible, making breastfeeding possible for many women. However, it cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. Breast reduction inherently includes reshaping and lifting, resulting in a firmer, more youthful contour.
Breast reduction can reduce the diameter of your nipple-areolar complex if you wish. There is a small chance that you could lose nipple sensation. Our surgeons can discuss this risk with you in more detail during your consultation and explain what we do to prevent it.
Your breasts should look smaller and firmer almost immediately after surgery. However, you will have bruising and swelling concealing your results. It can take up to a few months for the aftereffects to subside and your improved breast shape to stabilize.
Every patient recovers differently, and it can take time to look and feel "normal" again. Most patients tell us it can take several months.
Yes. We encourage you to wear a special compression bra immediately after surgery to help minimize swelling. When you switch back to regular bras, we recommend you initially avoid wearing bras with underwire, as the wire can irritate your incisions. Sports bras are usually the most comfortable style to wear.
Results are long-lasting. However, pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can alter breast shape over time.
