Breast Reduction Beverly Hills

A breast reduction creates a lighter, more balanced chest by removing excess tissue and reshaping the breasts. This procedure enhances your silhouette and provides relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain. Dr. Firouz ensures natural, harmonious results, helping you feel more comfortable and confident.

Enhancing Comfort and Appearance

Large, heavy breasts can lead to physical discomfort such as neck and back pain, difficulty with exercise, and emotional distress. A breast reduction, or mammoplasty, can reduce the size and weight of the breasts, creating a firmer, more youthful appearance. During your breast reduction in Beverly Hills with Dr. Firouz, excess skin and fat are carefully removed to relieve pain and achieve a more balanced, proportionate chest.

What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. During the surgery, excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a smaller, more proportionate breast. The nipple and areola are often repositioned to enhance the breast's appearance and comfort.

In addition to improving aesthetics, breast reduction helps relieve physical discomfort caused by large breasts, such as chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain. It also addresses issues like skin irritation, poor posture, and difficulty with physical activity. Many patients find that breast reduction enhances their comfort, clothing fit, and self-confidence.

Is a Breast Reduction Right for You?

Breast reduction may be right for you if you struggle with breasts that are too large for your body, experience chronic pain from the weight of your breasts, or deal with bra strap indentations on your shoulders. Ideal candidates are in good general health, do not have serious medical conditions that could impact healing, and are non-smokers.

If you're ready to achieve a more comfortable and confident version of yourself, a breast reduction with Dr. Firouz can help you feel better physically and emotionally. Dr. Firouz will carefully assess your goals and health to ensure that the procedure is a safe and effective solution for your needs.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

The breast reduction procedure is highly customized, as Dr. Firouz utilizes a number of techniques based on your unique needs and aesthetic concerns, breast composition and size, and overall body type. After assessing these critical factors, he will make personalized surgical recommendations. This careful assessment ensures the chosen technique will achieve the ideal aesthetic balance and lift for your frame.

The surgery itself may consist of surgical excision alone or be performed in combination with precision liposuction to optimize contouring. In most cases, Dr. Firouz will create an incision around the areola that extends to the natural curve beneath the breast. Through this opening, he meticulously removes excess tissue, skin, and fat before carefully repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve a smaller, lighter, and more proportionate chest.

Your Recovery

Immediately after your breast reduction, your chest will be heavily bandaged to ensure proper healing and limit movement. Patients will transition to wearing a special surgical bra for several weeks to provide continuous support as incisions heal and swelling subsides. You can expect some discomfort, but this is easily manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.

To ensure the best outcome, it is essential to follow instructions regarding activity; you must avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise, though most patients resume light daily routines within one to two weeks.

Cost & Financing for Your Breast Reduction

The final cost of your breast reduction varies based on the complexity of the surgery, technique, anesthesia, and facility fees. During your consultation with Dr. Firouz, we provide a personalized cost estimate tailored to your needs. To help manage the investment, flexible financing options are available through CareCredit.

Importantly, insurance often provides coverage for breast reduction when medical necessity (such as chronic pain) is properly documented. Our team will assist you in navigating the steps to determine your potential coverage and find a solution that fits your budget.

Patient Testimonials

I had a breast reduction with Dr.Firouz December, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The surgery went incredibly smoothly—pain was minimal (I didn’t even need to use the prescribed pain meds!) and the recovery was just as seamless. I was back to all my normal activities within 8 weeks. The results have been life-changing. My back pain is completely gone, and the shape and placement are absolutely perfect. Scarring has been minimal and is healing beautifully. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Dr.Firouz is a skilled, compassionate professional and I’m so grateful for their work!

Eugenia

A year ago, I looked for a good plastic surgeon to do breast reduction and tummy tuck. I interviewed many doctors in OC and L.A., but when I met Dr. Firouz, I knew that I found the doctor I was looking for. He is honest, very knowledgeable, and, most importantly excellent in what he does. I am so happy with my results, and I got so many compliments from my friends and family. He is the only plastic surgeon in southern California that I trust with my body. Since then he is doing my botox and fillers, and I honestly can say I can't be happier with the result. I am so grateful for what he did for me since I've seen so many of my friends butchered by other doctors.

Ellie K.

My experience with getting my lift and reduction has been a pleasant one. This is my first time ever getting any type of cosmetic surgery and having Lexi to assist me with all of my questions and what I would need including where I could stay in the area really helped me prepare for my surgery. Dr Firouz did a really great job in responding to my concerns and letting me know exactly how the outcome would be. He did a really great job! I love the way I look and am so happy I finally went through with the procedure. He was quick to prescribe me some ointment that I needed post op and I appreciate the communication with Lexi and Dr Firouz pre and post op. I’m recommending him to all of my friends. Also, they have so many different finance options that are reasonable.

Breast Reduction FAQs

Is it best to lose weight before my breast reduction?

Every case is different. With that said, it is usually in your best interest to be close to your ideal weight before breast reduction surgery. Losing too much weight after the procedure can result in undesirable sagging. Plus, being close to your normal weight can help ensure a smooth recovery process.

How long does a breast reduction take?

It can take between two and four hours, depending on the size of your breasts and the complexity of the surgery.

Is there an age requirement for a breast reduction?

You should be at least in your teenage years with significant symptoms. In these cases, Dr. Firouz will work closely with the patient and their parents to time the procedure correctly and ensure that the breasts are fully developed before surgery. Some women choose to wait until after they’re done having children for their breast reduction, while others reduce their breasts earlier for much-needed symptom relief.

What is the recovery time after breast reduction surgery?

Recovery time can vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 2-6 weeks. Full recovery may take up to 3 months, depending on individual healing processes. It’s important to follow Dr. Firouz’s aftercare instructions for the best results.

Will I have scars after breast reduction surgery?

Yes, there will be scars from the incisions, but Dr. Firouz uses techniques designed to minimize scarring. Over time, scars will fade and become less noticeable, typically placed around the areola and under the breast for better concealment.

Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?

In most cases, you can breastfeed after breast reduction surgery. However, the ability to breastfeed depends on the extent of the surgery and whether the nipple and areola are repositioned. It’s important to discuss this with Dr. Firouz prior to the procedure.

Can breast reduction improve posture?

Yes, reducing the weight and size of the breasts can help alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain, leading to improved posture. Many patients experience a significant decrease in physical discomfort following the procedure.

What is the difference between a breast lift and breast reduction?

A breast lift focuses on raising and reshaping the breasts without reducing their size, whereas a breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to make the breasts smaller and lighter. Sometimes, both procedures can be performed together for optimal results.
