In their words
Elizabeth A. Grasee, MD
The breast reduction procedure is commonly performed through a "keyhole" incision. The nipple, which remains tethered to its original blood and nerve supply, is then repositioned. The areola is reduced if necessary. Rarely, a free transfer of nipple/areolar complex is performed.

FAQ
Breast Reduction in Carmel: common questions
How much does Breast Reduction cost in Carmel?
Breast Reduction generally runs $8,000–$15,000 per procedure, and each Carmel clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Carmel clinics for a personalized quote.
How long do Breast Reduction results last?
Results vary by patient, but most Carmel providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Breast Reduction series.
How often should I get Breast Reduction?
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Carmel providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Will insurance cover my breast reduction?
Often, and more often than patients expect, but carriers set specific criteria. Typically they want documented symptoms such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, evidence you have tried conservative measures like physical therapy or supportive garments, and sometimes a minimum amount of tissue to be removed based on your height and weight. Photographs are usually required. Start the process early because approval can take weeks, and ask the surgeon's office whether they handle the pre-authorization, since experienced offices do this routinely.
How much smaller will I be?
Surgeons discuss this in grams removed rather than cup sizes, because cup sizing is not standardized across brands. Most patients go down two to three cup sizes. The goal is proportion to your frame rather than a specific letter, and the surgeon also balances how much tissue insurance may require removed against what looks right for your body. Bring photos of the outcome you have in mind.
What is the satisfaction rate really like?
Breast reduction consistently records among the highest satisfaction rates of any surgical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise, in published outcome studies. The reason is that it solves a functional problem and a cosmetic one simultaneously. Patients frequently describe the relief from physical symptoms as more significant than the change in appearance.
Will I be able to breastfeed afterward?
Some patients can and some cannot, and it is difficult to predict individually. Reduction removes glandular tissue and repositions the nipple, both of which can affect milk production and duct continuity. If you plan to breastfeed in future, discuss it explicitly, because certain techniques preserve more of the ductal system, and some patients choose to delay surgery until after childbearing.
What about the scars?
Most reductions use either a vertical lollipop pattern or an anchor pattern including a scar along the fold. They are permanent. Patients in this operation are, in general, notably accepting of scars because the symptom relief is so significant, but you should see photographs of typical scar outcomes at consultation so nothing surprises you afterward.
