Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breast size. At Quintessa in Madison, this procedure is often paired with a breast lift to achieve a youthful, natural contour. It’s done to relieve physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, while also improving how clothing fits and how you feel about your body.
If you’re struggling with physical or emotional discomfort due to overly large breasts, breast reduction may be the ideal solution. You may be a good candidate if you experience:
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is done to reduce excess breast tissue in men and restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour. At Quintessa, this procedure is often recommended for men experiencing enlarged or swollen breast tissue due to hormonal imbalance, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will work with you to identify the underlying cause and develop a customized surgical plan. The result is a more sculpted, chiseled appearance—and a boost in self-esteem.
Breast reduction offers both physical relief and aesthetic improvement, helping you feel better in your body every day. Here’s what you can expect:
Your breast reduction surgery begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best approach. During the procedure, your surgeon will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, primarily from the sides and lower portion of your breasts, to reduce size and improve shape. A breast lift is often performed at the same time to enhance contour and symmetry. The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is done under general anesthesia.
After breast reduction, you can expect a relatively smooth recovery. Most patients return to work and daily activities within 5 to 7 days, although you should avoid strenuous exercise for about two weeks. You’ll need to sleep on your back and wear a supportive surgical bra as your body heals. Swelling and bruising are normal but will gradually subside. As healing progresses, you’ll notice a lighter, more lifted breast shape and relief from physical discomfort.
