When to consider

Breast reduction surgery is an option for any individual who feels they have overly large breasts. Some of the most frequent motivations include physical discomfort such as ongoing back, neck, or shoulder pain resulting from the weight of the breast tissue. Patients often state that having a large bust has prevented them from being active or participating in sports, or makes regular activities more difficult and uncomfortable. Many people also desire to increase their self-confidence or reduce the anxiety associated with receiving unwanted attention or struggling to find clothing that fits properly. If any of these issues apply to you, this surgery can potentially offer both physical and emotional benefits.

There are several factors that indicate whether or not you are a good candidate for the surgery. Following are some of the qualifications:

You have back or neck pain, or other physical problems due to heavy breasts.
Your large breasts prevent you from being physically active.
You are embarrassed by the size of your breasts or they have a negative emotional impact on you.
You are in good health and have realistic goals for your surgery.
You are not breastfeeding and not planning to breastfeed in the near future.

If you meet the above qualifications, the compassionate and experienced staff at Alpine Plastic Surgery will be happy to assist you and discuss how breast reduction can enhance the quality of your life.

Breast Reduction FAQ’s

Why do patients have breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction is a procedure that many women undergo to alleviate back, neck, or shoulder pain, improve posture, or simply feel more comfortable in their own skin. It can also make physical activity easier and finding clothing that fits more convenient.

Am I a good candidate for breast reduction?

To determine if breast reduction is right for you, Dr. Randall Barnett at Alpine Plastic Surgery will go over your medical history and talk to you about your symptoms and goals for the surgery. Generally, patients who are in good overall health and want to reduce physical discomfort or are unhappy with the size or proportion of their breasts are ideal candidates.

What is recovery like after breast reduction surgery?

The recovery process after breast reduction surgery is usually quite manageable for most patients. You can typically expect to return to normal light activity levels within 1–2 weeks and to be able to resume normal routines within a month. Dr. Barnett and the team at Alpine Plastic Surgery will give you specific instructions for your recovery and follow-up care to ensure that you heal safely and comfortably.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction?

Breast reduction may be covered by insurance in certain cases if it is deemed medically necessary due to pain or other health issues. Insurance policies vary greatly, so it’s best to check with your provider ahead of time to see if you have coverage.

What can I expect after breast reduction surgery?

Patients who have breast reduction surgery can expect to have smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts, as well as relief from physical discomfort they may have been experiencing. Many also experience an improved sense of confidence and quality of life.
