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.

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had a breast augmentation with Clark and Monika, his PA, a month ago and I am pleased to say I could not be more thrilled with my results. From the initial consultation to post surgery I felt calm and confident with these two as my providers. The whole experience was above and beyond! I am very grateful I found Clark and Monika. Thank you to the whole team at NSPS and at the surgery center!
