What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excessive breast volume and weight while reshaping the breasts for improved contour and support. During surgery, excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the remaining tissue is sculpted into a lifted, well-supported breast mound. The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned to a more youthful height while typically preserving its blood supply. Incisions are carefully planned based on anatomy and the degree of reduction required. They may be placed around the areola, extend vertically along the lower breast, and, when appropriate, follow the natural crease beneath the breast. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited Bellevue facility on an outpatient basis. In selected cases, liposuction is incorporated to refine contour along the lateral chest. For significantly enlarged or markedly pendulous breasts, a free nipple graft technique may be recommended to ensure optimal safety and reshaping.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

Physical relief: Reduction of chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back discomfort, along with improvement in bra strap indentations and persistent skin irritation.
Increased activity tolerance: Greater comfort during exercise and daily movement.
Improved body alignment: Decreased anterior chest weight that supports healthier posture mechanics.
Enhanced contour: A smaller, lifted breast shape that integrates naturally with the torso.
Greater ease in clothing: Improved fit in tailored garments and structured apparel.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Candidates for breast reduction in Seattle often experience musculoskeletal discomfort, activity limitations, or chronic skin irritation related to excessive breast weight. Women who feel disproportionately burdened by breast size and seek both functional improvement and refined contour may benefit from evaluation. Good overall health, stable weight, and realistic expectations are essential considerations.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is detailed and individualized. Dr. Egrari evaluates breast volume, skin elasticity, asymmetry, and chest wall proportions before outlining a precise surgical plan. Clinical measurements and professional photography are obtained to guide planning, and a thorough discussion clarifies surgical strategy, recovery expectations, and anticipated outcomes.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of breast reduction varies based on surgical complexity, operative time, anesthesia services, and facility considerations. Because each procedure is customized, exact pricing is provided following your examination and surgical planning. Our team reviews all financial details clearly so you can proceed with full understanding.

What to Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery

On the day of surgery, you will arrive at our state-of-the-art Bellevue facility and be prepared for general anesthesia. With deliberate precision, Dr. Egrari removes excess tissue and skin, reshapes the breast architecture, and elevates the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful position. Deep internal suturing supports the newly contoured breast before the incisions are meticulously closed. Following a period of attentive monitoring in our private recovery suite, you will return home the same day with comprehensive postoperative guidance.

Breast Reduction Recovery and Results

After surgery, light dressings and a supportive surgical bra help stabilize the breasts during early healing. Swelling and tightness gradually improve over several weeks, and many patients report noticeable relief from the physical burden of excessive breast weight early in recovery.

Incision lines mature progressively over six to twelve months under a structured scar management protocol. As healing advances, the breasts appear smaller, lifted, and more structurally supported, with results designed for durability over time.
