Breast Reduction

The NYC Plastic Surgeon commonly performs Breast Reduction Plastic Surgery at his Manhattan, New York fully accredited surgical suite.

The Manhattan New York Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeon would  consider you a good candidate for breast reduction plastic surgery if you have one or more of the following conditions:

  Breasts that are too large in proportion to your body frame
  Heavy, pendulous breasts with nipples and areolas that point downward
  One breast is much larger than the other
back, neck or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
  Skin irritation beneath your breasts
  Indentations in your shoulders from tight bra straps
  Restriction of physical activity due to the size and weight of your breasts
Dissatisfaction or self-consciousness about the largeness of your breasts

The NYC plastic surgeon's goal of breast reduction plastic surgery is to reduce the dimensions of the breasts to a more proportional and manageable size. In doing so, the plastic surgeon removes excess breast tissue and skin, tailors a new breast that is smaller, more proportional, and more youthful.

Because of its health benefits, breast reduction plastic surgery  is covered by most health insurances. Breast Reduction plastic surgery is performed at the NYC plastic surgeon's private surgical center in Manhattan, New York. The breast reduction procedure usually takes approximately 4-6 hours, and is carried out under general anesthesia. Patients are usually discharged on the same day. Recovery time is about 5-14 days depending on the amount of reduction, person’s individual differences, and the activity level that is required when returning to work.
