What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast Reduction, also known as Reduction Mammaplasty, is a procedure to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with excessively large breasts (macromastia).
At Prescott Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer breast reduction surgery in Louisville for women who want smaller breasts that are better suited for their natural figure.
Benefits of Breast Reduction
- Removal of excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with a woman’s body
- Relief from back and neck pain
- Improvement in posture
- Relief from skin rashes
- Relief from some breathing problems
- Improvement in skeletal deformities
Ideal Candidates for Breast Reduction
Women with large breasts may experience more than dissatisfaction with body image, they can also feel physical pain and experience a host of complications that can impair a woman’s ability to lead an active life. Many women experience joint and muscle pain in their neck, shoulder, and back due to the strain their large breasts place on their bodies.
Breast reduction focuses on both reducing the size of the breasts and ensuring the smaller breasts have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The shape and symmetry of the breasts are a main focus to ensure that our patients are both happy with the size and overall appearance of their new breasts. During your consultation, one of our experienced plastic surgeons will ask about the issues you are experiencing and ask what your desired goals are for your procedure so that they can let you know if breast reduction surgery is the right choice for you.

Recovery
Breast reduction surgery is normally performed under general anesthesia and requires an overnight hospital stay. Swelling, bruising and some downtime are to be expected following your breast reduction surgery in Louisville. Most patients experience minimal discomfort but should plan to take it easy and avoid any heavy lifting for a number of weeks.
Follow-up visits will be scheduled to make sure that you are healing properly. If you experience any issues or concerns during your recovery, please contact your doctor so the issue can be properly examined and diagnosed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will breast reduction surgery leave scars?
Yes, breast reduction surgery does involve incisions, which will result in some scarring. However, surgeons use advanced techniques to place incisions in less visible areas whenever possible. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable, especially with proper care and following your surgeon’s recommendations.
Will my breasts still look natural after surgery?
A well-performed breast reduction aims to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size while maintaining a natural shape and contour. Your surgeon will work with you to understand your goals and design a surgical plan that enhances both comfort and appearance, resulting in a balanced, natural-looking outcome.
