What Is Breast Reduction?

What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery in New Jersey is a carefully planned procedure, typically performed as an outpatient procedure, and focuses on both functional relief and aesthetic refinement.

Surgical Setting

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient is fully comfortable and pain-free throughout surgery. All procedures are carried out in fully equipped New Jersey hospital facilities, such as Hackensack University Medical Center or Morristown Medical Center, where all safety protocols are in place.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Morin utilizes a combination of liposuction and precise surgical excision techniques to remove excess breast tissue and fat. This dual approach helps reduce breast volume while also minimizing visible scarring and supporting more refined contouring outcomes.

Reshaping and Lifting the Breast

Once the necessary tissue is removed, the remaining breast tissue is carefully reshaped and lifted. This step restores a more youthful position and improves symmetry, ensuring the final result is balanced and proportionate to the patient’s body.

Closure, Aftercare, and Follow-Up

Incisions are closed with layered sutures to support healing and reduce tension on the skin. After surgery, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions and prescribed medication for comfort. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal recovery progress.

Breast Reduction Recovery Timeline

Recovery after breast reduction surgery¹ varies, but most patients experience a staged improvement over several weeks to months. In the first few days, swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are expected and managed with prescribed medication. Within two weeks, most patients can return to light daily activities, although strenuous movement should still be avoided for a month while swelling continues to subside and mobility improves significantly.

Breast Reduction Candidates

As one of Dr. Morin’s main areas of focus, a breast reduction is an option for women in good health who desire a more balanced chest. While it is important for candidates to maintain realistic expectations, breast reduction surgery can address your concerns if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Chronic back/neck/shoulder pain²
  • Rashes beneath breasts
  • Poor posture due to the weight of breasts
  • Low self-esteem
  • Restricted physical activity
  • Oddly fitting undergarments, bathing suits
  • Bra strap indentations

It is common for our patients to feel some degree of embarrassment due to their overly large breasts. Dr. Morin’s mammaplasty surgery not only helps reduce breast size, but it also helps to restore confidence³  and make women feel better about themselves and their appearance.

Breast Reduction Question & Answers

Will breast reduction surgery affect my ability to breastfeed?

Breastfeeding may still be possible after breast reduction surgery, but it depends on the surgical technique and how much glandular tissue is removed. While many patients retain the ability to breastfeed, there is a risk of reduced milk production.

How much is a breast reduction in New Jersey?

The cost of breast reduction surgery in New Jersey varies depending on surgical complexity, degree of breast reduction required, whether liposuction is included, anesthesia fees, and facility costs. Schedule a personalized breast reduction consultation with Dr. Morin in Hackensack, NJ, for an accurate estimate.

Will insurance cover breast reduction surgery?

In some cases, insurance may cover breast reduction if it is deemed medically necessary. This typically requires documentation of symptoms such as chronic pain, skin irritation, or functional limitation, along with evidence of conservative treatments.

How long after breast reduction will I know my final size?

Initial results are visible immediately, but final breast size and shape become clearer as swelling resolves.

Does breast reduction surgery include a lift?

Yes. Breast reduction typically includes a lifting component, as the nipple and breast tissue are repositioned to create a higher, more youthful shape as part of the reshaping process.

Is breast reduction surgery safe?

Breast reduction is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. As with any surgery, risks exist, but careful planning, sterile technique, and proper aftercare help minimize complications.
