What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction?
A Smaller, More Manageable Bust
Large, cumbersome breasts can adversely affect the appearance of your body, attract unwanted attention, and limit your clothing options. Breast reduction removes glandular tissue, fat, and skin to provide a more compact, balanced, and perkier bust. This allows them to comfortably participate in more activities and have more confidence when doing so.
Improved Shape and Symmetry
Breast asymmetry is common. While some women choose to augment the smaller breast using an implant, others choose to reduce the larger breast to ensure a more balanced bustline that is better proportioned to the rest of their bodies.Breast reduction surgery can be performed on one or both breasts for a more balanced and appealing breast aesthetic.
Improved Physical and Emotional Well-Being
Back pain, neck pain, shoulder divots, and skin irritation are common in women with oversized breasts. Repeated stares, comments, and assumptions made by others can also cause severe emotional distress.
Breast reduction surgery relieves physical discomfort and helps stop the negative attention women with very large breasts often endure.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Pincus to find out if you’re a good candidate for a breast reduction.
Have Other Concerns About Breast Reduction?
Breast Reduction Recovery
How Difficult Is Recovery From Breast Reduction Surgery?
Bruising and swelling around the breasts may persist for several weeks. It’s crucial that you always wear your compression garment (except in the shower) to facilitate blood circulation, assist in the healing process, and help ensure ideal results.
Post-operative discomfort can be controlled with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. You should avoid bathing or submerging incisions in water, strenuous exercise, and heavy lifting. However, you should be able to return to physically non-demanding jobs within one to two weeks.
Exercise and strenuous activities should be avoided for six weeks, after which you can resume your normal routine.
Breast Reduction Results
How Long Will My Breast Reduction Results Last?
The results of your breast reduction are immediately noticeable; however, swelling and bruising will impact the quality of your results. Your breasts will settle into their final size and shape over the following weeks and months.
Weight fluctuations can impact the shape and firmness of your breasts, but as long as you maintain a stable weight, your results will be permanent. Plastic surgery can’t prevent the natural aging of the breasts, so you will eventually experience some breast sagging and other potential changes.
Breast Reduction Scars
Does Breast Reduction Cause Permanent Scars?
Dr. Pincus follows a protocol that helps keep scarring as minimal as possible. However, some scarring should be expected. While the anchor incision is technically a little more extensive, scars along the breast crease and around the areola are often hard to detect. Vertical scarring between the areola and breast crease is usually the only visible scar, but this fades over time and blends well with the surrounding skin.
You can reduce the visibility of scars by following Dr. Pincus’ post-operative instructions, protecting incisions from the sun, and treating them with silicone strips, gel, or scar cream.
How Much Does a Body Lift Cost?
What will my breast reduction surgery cost in Smithtown, New York?
The cost of your surgery will depend on a number of factors, including the techniques used, anesthesia and facility fees, pre-surgical tests, post-surgical dressings, and prescribed medications. Your cost will be determined at the end of your consultation. Be sure to check with your health insurance provider to see if breast reduction surgery is covered in your case.
Is breast reduction covered by insurance?
Pincus Plastic Surgery is a New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) and an out-of-network (OON) provider. This means that if you have OON benefits, your breast reduction will be covered.
Am I a candidate for breast reduction surgery?
Candidates for breast reduction surgery experience physical and emotional discomfort due to their oversized breasts. Women should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations of their results, and not smoke or use any nicotine products.
How will pregnancy affect my breast reduction results?
Weight fluctuations, including those experienced with pregnancy, may impact the quality of your results and contribute to premature breast sagging. The ideal time to undergo breast reduction surgery is when you have no plans for future pregnancies.
How does breast reduction affect breastfeeding?
Breast reduction may affect your ability to breastfeed because the tissue is removed, and the connection between the milk ducts and nipples may be damaged. If breastfeeding is a concern for you, please discuss this with Dr. Pincus at your consultation.
What kind of bra should I wear following my breast reduction procedure?
Most women find they have more clothing and bra options after breast reduction. Wear well-fitting, supportive bras, as sagging will occur faster if your breasts are not adequately supported.
What are the potential risks associated with breast reduction surgery?
Although breast reduction is safe and long-term complications are rare, they are still possible. Some of these complications may include:
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Loss of skin or nipple sensation
- Asymmetry
- Poor wound healing
You can reduce your risks by following all of Dr. Pincus’ pre and post-operative instructions.

My experience with Dr.Pincus and staff was amazing. Dr. Pincus is wonderful he made me feel completely comfortable and assisted me in the right direction in the size of my implants so I didn’t need to do a lift. Apparently my surgery ended up being a little more then we thought and I needed extra work and he did an amazing job correcting my breast that was out of place. The staff and nurses are so friendly and make you feel at home here. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do my implant replacement. I highly recommend Dr. Pincus! — JS
I had gastric bypass surgery 18 years ago and this was the icing on the cake. I told Dr. Pincus I would not wear a bikini I jand that I just wanted to feel better in my clothes. My tummy tuck results were better than I imagined! I just ordered crop top tank tops and cannot wait to wear them! Dr Pincus and his staff are the best! — C.T.
Dr. Pincus and staff are absolutely amazing. I waited a very long time for a Mommy Makeover. Having a rare anesthesia issue Dr.Pincus and his team made sure that I was going to be 100% safe during surgery. After my first consultation I knew I was going to be in good hands. Speaking of hands, his hands are pure gold. I am beyond amazed with the results and I am only three weeks post op. I was extremely specific with certain details regarding my surgery. All I can say is Dr. Pincus understood the assignment!!! I will be forever grateful to all for giving me my confidence back!! Five stars is not nearly enough! — D.Z.
