The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about two to three hours. The recovery time varies depending on the individual, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks.

BREAST REDUCTION: SCARS, INSURANCE, AND PROCEDURE

Breast reduction surgery can leave some scars, but they usually fade over time and become less noticeable. Dr. Shah will use the best incision technique for your case, either a lollipop or an anchor shape, and give you tips to minimize scarring. Most women are happy with the trade-off of having smaller, firmer, and more comfortable breasts.

Insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery depends on your plan and your medical need. You may qualify if you have back pain, neck pain, headaches, rashes, or other problems caused by large breasts. You also need to meet the weight criteria for the tissue to be removed. At our practice, we do not accept insurance, but we offer financing options to help you pay for the surgery.

Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure that takes about two and a half hours. You will be asleep during the surgery and go home the same day. Dr. Shah will remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts, and reshape them to a smaller and more proportionate size. He may also adjust the size and position of your areolas. You will recover in about a few weeks and enjoy your new look and feel.
