There are several techniques for breast reduction, but the most common involves an incision around the areola that continues down along the natural curve under the breast.
Breast reductions are performed in our fully accredited, state-of-the-art on-site surgical center. Before the procedure, a general anesthetic is administered so you are asleep throughout the operation.
Breast reduction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient's comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
Results will be visible immediately. Once the swelling goes down and your scars have begun to fade, you will see your final results. Breast reduction surgery is usually a one-time procedure.
After a breast reduction, rest and limited activity are important to support healing and speed recovery. Immediately after surgery, patients are placed in a post-operative surgical bra to protect the area and minimize breast movement. This bra will need to be worn for several weeks as you heal.
There are many incision techniques for breast reduction - our plastic surgeon will go over the options with you during the initial consultation.
People experiencing chronic pain due to the weight of their breasts are excellent candidates for breast reduction to alleviate physical discomfort.
For this reason, we recommend delaying your breast reduction surgery if you plan on having more children.
Breast Reduction generally runs $8,000–$15,000 per procedure, and each Fayetteville 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).

Results vary by patient, but most Fayetteville providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Breast Reduction series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Fayetteville providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
