Breast Reduction Overview

What is a breast reduction?

Dr. Daniel Casper is experienced with a variety of surgical options designed to reduce breast size with minimal scarring. He understands that patients with large breasts can often experience chronic physical pain and extreme sagging due to the overwhelming weight of their breasts. Dr. Casper can help these patients through breast reduction surgery, which removes, lifts, and reshapes tissue to create breasts of a more desirable and manageable size and shape.

While a majority of patients choose this procedure out of a desire to reduce the size of their breasts, breast reduction surgery can also be used to rebalance disproportionately sized breasts, resulting in a more symmetrical appearance. But no matter what the original motivation, patients who undergo breast reduction surgery generally experience increased mobility and confidence, as well as a remarkable reduction in back and shoulder pain.

Candidacy for Breast Reduction

If you have been experiencing physical symptoms from large breasts such as back aches, headaches, shoulder tension and pain, numbness in your hands and fingers, and shortness of breath, a breast reduction can greatly improve your quality of life.

If your breasts make it difficult to find clothing that fits, that you feel comfortable wearing, or you simply feel your breast are far too large, and you lack confidence due to your breast size, a breast reduction is a great choice for you.

Our Los Angeles breast reduction is also a good choice for those desiring an overall more proportionate and symmetrical appearance as well as athletes who are hindered by their breast size.

How to Prepare for Breast Reduction Surgery

The first step to achieving your desired outcome from a breast reduction is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Casper. He will spend as much time as needed to discuss the procedure, answer any questions, and address and alleviate any concerns. Please make sure to share all your medical history, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries, drug allergies and any current medications or supplements you take.

Once you have determined that a breast reduction is the right option for you and a surgery date and time has been scheduled, there are a few steps to take that can best prepare you for your surgery.

Breast reduction procedures are usually an outpatient procedure meaning that you will be able to return home afterward. However, due to the anesthesia, you will not be able to drive yourself so it’s imperative you plan to have a friend or family member be available to transport and assist you for a few days following surgery.

What to Expect During Surgery and Recovery

Undergoing a breast reduction in Los Angeles with Dr. Daniel Casper offers a safe, supportive, and expert-guided experience. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and generally takes between two to five hours, depending on the complexity and the amount of tissue being removed.

You’ll receive general anesthesia, meaning you’ll be fully asleep and won’t feel any pain during the surgery. Dr. Casper uses precise surgical techniques to reduce breast size, reshape the tissue, and reposition the nipples for a more balanced, natural contour.

Following surgery, you’ll spend a short period in a recovery suite before heading home the same day with a detailed aftercare plan. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

You’ll need to wear a supportive surgical bra to help minimize swelling and support the new shape as your body heals. Light activities can usually be resumed within a week, while more strenuous exercise and lifting are typically restricted for 4–6 weeks. Dr. Casper and his team provide close follow-up to ensure your recovery is smooth and your results are long-lasting.

The Procedure

A breast reduction in Pasadena is usually performed by small incisions and removal of excess fat and tissue and skin to create smaller-size breasts. In some cases, if excess skin is not an issue, the fat can be removed via liposuction. The incisions can be made around the areola or in a keyhole or T shape beneath – the best method will be discussed and determined in your consultation with Dr. Casper.

The Method

After the excess tissue and fat have been removed, the areola may be resized if needed and the tissues lifted and shaped before the incisions are closed by sutures, skin adhesives or surgical tape. Bandages and gauze dressings will be applied, and you may be fitted with elastic bandages or a sports bra to support your breasts as they heal. There may also be a small tube that is inserted to help any excess fluid drain. These are typically removed shortly after the surgery.

The Recovery

During the initial recovery, Dr. Casper and our nurses will continue to monitor you as well as give instructions on pain medications and changing the surgical dressings. Your breasts will be swollen and sore and you may feel very tired after the surgery. You will need to take a week, maybe two, off work to recover and minimize any activity for two weeks. You must avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for at least four weeks and may be instructed to sleep on your back or wear certain support garments for a period of time.

Your New Life

The full recovery from your breast reduction surgery is expected to be around eight weeks. Then you will be able to go back to your normal activity levels and be able to start really seeing the beautiful results of the procedure, no longer hindered by overlarge, heavy breasts.
