A breast reduction involves removing excess fat and tissue from each breast to decrease the size. Large breasts can cause both physical and emotional stress. Many patients experience physical discomfort from the weight of their breasts and a breast reduction can alleviate the discomfort, boost self-confidence and of help lessen medical issues such as back, neck and shoulder pain.
Disproportionately large breasts can cause both physical and emotional distress for patients. Patients may experience physical discomfort resulting from the weight and size of their breasts. The resulting pain can make it challenging for some patients to perform common physical activities. Although our Boca Raton Breast Reduction is often performed to address medical issues, patients who do not have the symptoms or proof of macromastia but are unhappy with the size of their breasts can choose breast reduction surgery to help achieve an aesthetic look.
More Than Just a Size Change
Breast reduction is about more than just size—it’s about comfort, confidence, and feeling like yourself again. If heavy, disproportionate breasts are causing back pain, limiting your wardrobe choices, or making workouts a struggle, reduction surgery can be life-changing. Here’s what a breast reduction can help with:
Many patients say they wish they had done it sooner. If your breasts are interfering with your quality of life, this surgery can provide lasting relief and newfound confidence.
Candidates
Your New Shape
You’ll notice a difference right away, but your final results will take some time to settle. Most swelling subsides within a few weeks, and your breast shape continues to refine over the next few months. By the three to six-month mark, your results will feel fully settled, and your scars will start to fade. Breast reduction results are long-lasting, and as long as you maintain a stable weight, your breasts will stay in their new, lighter shape for years to come.
What Recovery Looks Like
Recovery is very manageable. Most patients take about one to two weeks off work and regular activities, but light movement is encouraged right away to support healing. Here’s what to expect during recovery:
Most patients feel back to themselves within a month, and results continue to improve as swelling subsides.
Keep Your Breasts Looking Their Best
The goal of breast reduction is long-term relief, and a little aftercare can help you maintain your results beautifully. While your breasts will naturally change with time, there are simple ways to keep them looking their best for years to come:
Your breasts will naturally age, but with proper care, your results can last for decades.

The total cost includes not only the surgery itself but also anesthesia, facility fees, post-surgical garments, and follow-up visits. During your consultation, we’ll go over all the details and provide a personalized quote so you have complete clarity on what to expect.
