With Dr. Mark Kohout
What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportional breast size. This surgery is often sought by individuals experiencing physical discomfort, pain, or other medical issues due to large breasts. The procedure can alleviate symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty finding well-fitting clothing.
Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
Who May Benefit
Choosing to undergo a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is a significant decision that requires a clear understanding of your personal goals and physical needs. While every surgery is unique, certain criteria help determine if a patient is likely to achieve the best possible results and a safe recovery.
- Reduces back, neck, and shoulder pain for increased comfort.
- Increases mobility and eases physical activities.

Tissue Removal and Reshaping
Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, followed by reshaping the remaining breast tissue and repositioning the nipple to achieve the desired breast size and contour.

What is the Recovery like?
Recovery from Breast Reduction typically involves a few key stages.
- Swelling and discomfort can be managed with medication.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks.
- Regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor the healing process.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks.
What are the Risks?
Breast Reduction surgery carries certain risks that patients should be aware of. One potential risk is infection, which can occur at the incision site and may require additional treatment. Another concern is the possibility of complications related to anaesthesia, which can affect the body’s response during surgery.
Other risks may include:
- Scarring
- Altered Sensation (either temporary or permanent)
- Unsatisfactory Results
What are the Costs?
The cost of breast reduction surgery varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses, including pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and required medications, can also influence the total price. Many clinics offer financing options to make the procedure more manageable. For an accurate estimate and to discuss payment solutions, please contact the clinic directly.
We are committed to providing flexible payment plans to ease stress and concerns regarding finance for our patients..
