Breast reduction by Dr. Cohen is not just about achieving an aesthetically pleasing bustline. It’s about giving women the freedom to live comfortably and confidently without the physical and emotional burden of excessively large breasts. With Dr. Cohen’s expertise as a board-certified plastic surgeon, patients can look forward to a life-changing transformation.
Reclaim Comfort & Optimal Proportions
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the breasts, reshape them, and alleviate discomfort caused by excessive weight. Women with large breasts often experience physical discomfort, such as neck and back pain, skin irritation, and difficulty finding clothes that fit. Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, skin, and fat to achieve a more proportional and comfortable breast size. The procedure can also improve posture and self-confidence, making women feel more comfortable in their bodies.
Breast Reduction Corrects:
- Physical discomfort caused by excessively large breasts
- Neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts
- Skin irritation and bra strap grooving
- Limited physical activity due to breast size and weight
- Difficulty finding clothes that fit properly
- Self-consciousness and low self-esteem related to breast size
- Unwanted attention and stares from others due to large breasts
- Asymmetrical breasts, where one breast is larger than the other
- Breasts that have lost their shape and firmness due to aging or pregnancy
- Disproportionate breast size in relation to the body frame
What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery?
During breast reduction surgery, you will be given general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. The surgery takes two to four hours, depending on the extent of the reduction.
Your surgeon will make incisions on your breasts to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. The incisions can be made in different locations, depending on the specific case, but they are commonly made around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. Your surgeon will reshape your breasts, reposition the nipple and areola, and reduce the areola if necessary. Your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings and a supportive bra to reduce swelling.

Breast Reduction Aftercare Guidelines:
- You will need to take time off work to rest and recover from the surgery
- Avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activities for at least four weeks after the surgery
- Take your pain medication as prescribed to manage any discomfort
- Keep your dressing clean and dry, and change it as directed by your surgeon

When Will I See the Final Results?
