Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess fat and glandular tissue to create firmer, proportionate breasts. At UPMC in Central Pa., our expert plastic surgeons are experienced in providing breast reduction results that align with each patient’s body shape and personal goals.
Women affected by macromastia, or oversized breasts, often suffer from symptoms including chronic back and neck pain, difficulty breathing or participating physical activity, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Breast reduction removes this extra tissue to create breasts that are lighter and more proportionate to body structure. Breast reduction surgery may be combined with a breast lift to create a more youthful and firmer overall appearance.
Before any surgical procedure, our doctors perform a complete consultation to ensure a surgical plan tailored to your individual needs. After discussing your medical history including pregnancies and nursing, physical activity level and desired results, we will work with you to determine the best course of action.
The method of surgery will depend on your natural body shape, skin and breast elasticity to safeguard against future sagging or volume settling. Because reduction surgery often involves the removal of milk ducts and glands leading to the nipple, this procedure is not generally recommended for women who plan to breast-feed at any point in the future.
