The incisions involved in breast reduction mirror those in a breast lift , since the goals of the two procedures are very similar. The incision is an anchor style and uniformly follows a distinct shape and predictably good healing.
During your breast reduction surgery, Dr. Spiro will begin with an incision around your nipple, then downward in the form of a keyhole.
Women who require a lesser degree of tissue reduction and nipple and areola elevation may be appropriate candidates for a modified, “short-scar” approach to breast reduction.
Scarring is an inevitable part of breast reduction surgery. However, the scars are typically well-concealed around the areola and may extend vertically or in an anchor shape
Breast reduction surgery is done under general anesthesia and involves the following steps:
Patients considering breast reduction in Paramus or Bergen County should receive more than a generic procedure description. Dr. Ferraro begins by evaluating breast weight, symptoms, body proportion, nipple position, scar pattern, sensation, future breastfeeding considerations, and realistic reduction goals.
Breast reduction surgery requires general anesthesia.
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with the use of general anesthesia.
The average breast reduction surgery can take two to four hours to complete.
These problems make breast reduction medically necessary and therefore eligible for insurance coverage.
Dr. Aydin is often able to maintain nipple sensation and breastfeeding function after breast reduction, but this is not always possible.
Breast reduction surgery is performed with the patient under general anesthesia and takes from two to four hours.
We recommend breast reduction and lift surgery for women who experience physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to the size of their breasts.

Breast Reduction generally runs $8,000–$15,000 per procedure, and each Jersey City 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).

Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Jersey City providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
