Breast reduction at Capizzi MD is designed to relieve the physical discomfort of overly large breasts while creating a lighter, more balanced silhouette. By removing excess tissue and reshaping the breasts, this procedure enhances comfort, proportion, and confidence in everyday life.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery offers transformative benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics. By reducing the weight and size of the breasts, patients often experience immediate relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as improved posture and mobility. The lighter, more proportionate physique not only enhances overall body balance but also makes physical activity more comfortable and enjoyable.
Just as importantly, many women report a significant boost in self-confidence—feeling more at ease in their clothing, more aligned with their body image, and empowered to fully embrace an active, confident lifestyle.

What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery?
Your surgeon will perform the best type of procedure for your body after carefully considering your cup size, medical health and goals. He will ensure that the breasts are perfectly proportioned and the surrounding skin is taut and smooth. Breast reduction takes approximately two hours.
The most common method of breast reduction is to create an incision shaped like an upside-down ‘T’ or anchor. This incision runs from the areola down to the crease and along the natural curve of the breast. The doctor will then remove excess fatty tissue, and begin the process of repositioning the nipple and areola. These are carefully corrected to preserve symmetry and parity, safeguard breast sensation, and to create a pleasing outcome.

Breast Reduction FAQs
What is breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size and help relieve discomfort caused by overly large breasts. Breast reduction also realigns the nipples and areolas, including resizing overly stretched areolas.
Who is a good candidate for breast reduction?
Ideal candidates often have physical symptoms such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or limitations in activity due to breast size and weight.
What happens during breast reduction surgery?
The procedure is customized to your body and goals. The page notes it typically takes about two hours and commonly uses an anchor (inverted “T”) incision, with removal of excess tissue and repositioning of the nipple/areola to preserve symmetry and support sensation.
Are there different breast reduction techniques?
Yes. In addition to the traditional approach, the page mentions options like LeJour (short-scar), Hall-Findlay, and SPAIR, plus other incision variations depending on anatomy and goals.
What is recovery like after breast reduction?
Recovery varies, but the page recommends resting for the first few days, avoiding strain/lifting, and keeping activity light. Drains are rarely used, and if they are, they’re removed at a follow-up visit. Stitches dissolve in about 30 days, and temporary nipple tenderness or reduced sensitivity can happen and usually improves over weeks.
