What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Oversized breasts can create a large variety of physical and social challenges for women. In addition to causing neck and back pain, large breasts can sometimes draw unwanted attention or lead to embarrassment, especially in certain outfits. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, our providers have helped countless women regain their confidence and comfort with breast reduction surgery. This procedure removes excess breast fat and skin along with other tissues to reshape the breasts into a more manageable size. This surgery also reduces the size of the areolae and nipples and repositions them so they are symmetrical with the new breast size. In most cases, a breast lift can be performed to provide a more taut and youthful appearance. To learn more about the benefits of breast reduction surgery or if you're a suitable candidate, reach out to our plastic surgery office in Chicago, IL and schedule your private consultation with our team.
How Does Breast Reduction Surgery Work?
We perform breast reduction surgery at our Chicago, IL practice using general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. The timeframe for the surgery depends on various factors, including the complexity of the incision, the general technique, and finally, the amount of tissue removal needed. The positioning of the nipples is another factor. Based on the complexity of the reduction, either an inverted-T or a vertical incision will be incorporated. The breast tissue will then be removed, and the existing tissue and skin will be tightened. For most patients, liposuction is required to remove fat and reduce breast size. During your private consultation, we'll discuss all of these aspects and what you can expect in terms of results and scarring. While you can expect some visible scars, rest assured that we operate with the utmost care to ensure they are discreet.

Breast Reduction Reviews
Absolutely incredible experience. Dr. Simon Moradian is one of the kindest and most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. 8 weeks ago I underwent a breast reduction and I was of course terrified. I essentially offloaded a small newborn from my chestal region, and he was there every single step of the way. Now that I have been through this process, I cannot imagine having any other doctor. I am so grateful for whatever stars aligned to connect me with Dr. Moradian and his whole entire time. From the guidance over the phone when I first called to the insurance approval, and any time I have needed support or an appointment. He and the whole staff really come through for you. They are kind, patient, and have great bedside manner. They've gone above and beyond for me more than once. They should be the standard for any experience like this. Shout out to the entire team! I am still healing and have a ways to go but I feel so supported and cared for. Any fears I had were always assuaged by the professional and knowledgeable Dr. Moradian. I have a friend who also utilized this clinic for her reduction and she spoke highly of her experience with another doctor there. Grateful every day that my search led me here! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Dr. Schierle and his team are THE BEST!! I got breast augmentation on January 9th. It’s Perfect! Love my new look! I feel more confidence now than before. Thank you again for your best work.
Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!

I will continually recommend and refer my friends and family to Northwestern Plastics. I underwent a breast augmentation yesterday and feel great! My pre-operative experience was nothing but detailed, understood, and all my concerns and questions were answered by Dr. Moradian and his amazing PA, Monika. I will speak highly of the faculty because you are always warmly greeted by the front desk and Kendall makes your logistical arrangements seamless!During the day of my procedure, I felt ZERO anxiety and the experience was very pleasant and passionate from all the nurses and the anesthesiologist. Prior to going into the OR, Dr. Moradian came into the room to greet me and mark me up - this was indicative of how passionate he was because he asked me if I had any last minute questions and concerns. Another small but impactful statement he said was “I’ve studied your aesthetic wants/inspirational pictures of what you would want and know exactly what to do”. This shows me compassion, the drive to make me feel heard, to how much thought and detail he has put into this artistry.Overall, I am extremely happy and when I am healed - I will update my pictures! I am excited for my recovery journey. They are perfect already.
