Breast Reduction

A patient care concierge will guide you through the entire consultation process, which can be attended in person or virtually. During the consultation, your surgeon will learn about your goals, answer any questions, and perform an examination to create a personalized surgical plan. You will then be matched with a surgical coordinator who will walk you through each step of the preoperative process.

Barrett Plastic Surgery practices a lollipop incision technique to create less scarring and a more comfortable recovery process. An incision is made around your areolas and vertically beneath the bottom of the breast, then tissue and excess skin are removed from the breasts and bra line area to create the desired size and shape. To close the incisions, your surgeon will use a unique layered suturing technique that minimizes tension to minimize scarring.

After surgery, patients typically experience relief instantly, with symptoms continuing to improve throughout the healing process. Swelling and soreness are expected for the first few days following the procedure. Most patients return to work within a week, and more strenuous activity should be restricted for six weeks.

Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for optimal post-operative care, including an advanced scar management protocol after the initial healing period. Your surgical team is always available and will closely monitor your recovery in the weeks and months following surgery.
