Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. The procedure is typically performed on women with overly large breasts that cause physical discomfort, such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and skin irritation.

Patients often come to us interested in breast reduction surgery when they’ve found that their overly large breasts have begun causing them physical discomfort. Issues like rashes or chafing can sometimes accompany the presence of overly large breasts, and many patients feel dissatisfied with the way clothes fit. Breast reduction can help you overcome these issues, in addition to providing you with the following exciting benefits:
Breast reduction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be completely unconscious and unaware during the procedure. This is typically considered the safest and most effective form of anesthesia.
On average, the surgery takes between two to four hours to complete. The exact duration of your procedure, however, will be determined during a pre-operative consultation with Dr. Rogers, where he will evaluate your unique needs and goals.
During the procedure, Dr. Rogers will carefully make incisions that allow him to remove an appropriate amount of tissue while also lifting and repositioning the nipple and/or areola, if necessary. He will then carefully close the incisions, completing your surgery.
After your breast reduction in Beverly Hills, you’ll need to take a few weeks off from work and avoid strenuous activities, exercise, and heavy lifting for several weeks following the surgery.
