Breast reduction surgery begins with anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Depending on the surgical plan and the patient’s medical needs, this may involve general anesthesia administered by a qualified anesthesia professional.
Breast reduction is typically performed as outpatient surgery, with patients going home the same day. Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which generally subside within a week.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are non-smokers who are generally healthy but are dissatisfied with the size and appearance of their breasts.
Dr. Barr performs breast reduction surgery at an accredited elective surgery outpatient facility, so you can rest assured that you will not be surrounded by ill patients.
A breast reduction is an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and comfortable throughout and go home the same day. The surgery usually takes about three to four hours, depending on how much is being removed.
A tummy tuck is a form of cosmetic surgery designed to create a smoother, firmer abdominal area by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin. Many patients choose to combine it with breast reduction when they want a more comprehensive improvement in overall body contour.

Breast reduction surgery and a breast lift usually do not affect breastfeeding.
A breast reduction works best when expectations match what it can do. It removes weight and excess tissue, relieves physical symptoms, and lifts and reshapes the breast. It is not a weight-loss procedure, and it does add scars in exchange for relief and proportion.
At Hass Plastic Surgery our breast reduction surgeries are performed in our AAAASF operating suites in Wellington or Palm Beach Gardens. The surgery is typically anywhere from 2 - 4 hours depending on the reduction needed and is performed under an IV anesthesia, not general anesthesia.
Liposuction may offer a quicker recovery time and less scars, although typically the breast reduction scars do heal beautifully with proper scar treatments and will ultimately become less and less noticeable over time.
Recovery from a breast reduction procedure will vary depending on each individual. However, most patients should be able to return to work within a week.
breast reduction surgery is associated with some potential risks. These include, but are not limited to: adverse reaction to anesthesia, changes in sensation, scarring, allergic reactions, and infection.
Breast reduction surgery is a common solution for problems caused by breast hypertrophy, the medical term for large, drooping breasts.
Our skilled surgeons prefer using the short-scar breast reduction technique, also known as the “lollipop incision,” which is a novel method that gives the fewest scars
Breast Reduction generally runs $8,000–$15,000 per procedure, and each West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most West Palm Beach providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
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.
