What Is Breast Reduction Surgery


Breast reduction surgery addresses physical discomfort, lifestyle limitations, and emotional distress caused by overly large breasts. At Elite Plastic Surgery, we’ve seen how breast reduction can restore comfort and confidence. Women often come to us when they experience discomfort. This surgery can relieve related symptoms by reducing excess breast tissue and reshaping the chest for a more balanced appearance.

Elite Plastic Surgery Phoenix, AZ, is a plastic surgery unit led by highly experienced plastic surgeons. We use the latest surgical methods and advanced medical technology to give our patients high-quality, reliable results that meet their goals with precision and care. Our approach prioritizes both health and aesthetics. Elite Plastic Surgery offers different breast surgery procedures, like breast augmentation in Phoenix. Breast reduction has a distinct focus: restoring function and relieving physical strain. Patients appreciate that we design each plan based on individual anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and improve comfort. At Elite Plastic Surgery, we perform breast reduction in Phoenix, AZ, to help relieve both physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. The procedure involves carefully removing extra breast tissue, skin, and fat to create a smaller, more balanced shape. This surgery is not only about appearance. It also addresses chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, and back, rashes under the breasts, and limited mobility.

Our approach to breast reduction is personalized. We begin with a detailed evaluation to understand your body type, symptoms, and goals. Whether you're seeking relief from physical discomfort or looking for a more proportional figure, we create a surgical plan tailored to you.
Although we specialize in procedures like breast augmentation in Phoenix, we recognize that not everyone needs enhancement. Many of our patients seek breast reduction to feel lighter, move more freely, and improve their posture and self-confidence. Our focus is on helping you feel better in your body with results that reflect your health, needs, and personal goals.

Common Signs You May Benefit from Breast Reduction

You may be a candidate for breast reduction if you experience chronic physical discomfort, skin irritation, or lifestyle limitations due to breast size. Many of our patients come to us with ongoing neck, shoulder, or back pain caused by the weight of large breasts. Tight bra straps may leave grooves in the skin. Rashes or chafing often occur under the breastfold, especially in warm weather. Some women struggle to maintain good posture or feel discomfort during workouts due to excess breast tissue.

Daily challenges like finding properly fitting clothes or managing discomfort during physical activity can affect self-esteem and mobility. In some cases, the emotional impact of unwanted attention or feeling self-conscious about breast size can lead to stress or anxiety.

Elite Plastic Surgery offers breast reduction for both medical and aesthetic concerns. Breast reduction surgery is specifically tailored for women seeking relief from physical and lifestyle restrictions caused by large breasts. When symptoms interfere with daily function and comfort, breast reduction is more than cosmetic; it supports physical health.

How Breast Reduction Enhances Physical Health

Breast reduction surgery can reduce physical strain by improving posture, easing chronic pain, and supporting more restful sleep. Many women live with physical discomfort caused by large, heavy breasts. Over time, this weight can pull the upper body forward, creating tension in the neck and shoulders. By removing excess breast tissue, the breast reduction procedure at Elite Plastic Surgery helps realign body proportions. This shift supports better posture and reduces slouching, especially during long periods of sitting or standing.

Improved Posture and Spinal Support

Breast reduction can help restore balance to the spine and improve body alignment. Many patients notice less strain on their neck and lower back within weeks of surgery. Proper alignment makes it easier to sit upright, walk, and exercise without discomfort. Over time, this can help reduce spinal curvature caused by years of compensation.

Chronic Pain Relief

The weight removed during surgery may reduce or eliminate upper body pain. Heavy breasts can trigger daily tension headaches or migraines due to muscle fatigue in the neck and shoulders. With a lighter chest, this strain eases. Many patients also report fewer visits to chiropractors or massage therapists after surgery.

Better Sleep and Comfort

Smaller breasts often make it easier to sleep comfortably and breathe more freely. Patients tell us they can finally sleep on their back or side without pressure on their chest. Some even notice a drop in nighttime breathing issues. This adds to a better overall sense of rest and energy.
Breast reduction is designed for women looking to relieve physical discomfort, not just change appearance.

Lifestyle Benefits After Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction can improve your daily activities, expand clothing choices, and support better mental health. Many of our breast reduction patients at Elite Plastic Surgery share how the procedure changed their daily routines and boosted overall comfort. The physical and mental shifts are often immediate and long-lasting.

Increased Mobility and Exercise Tolerance

Breast reduction may help you move more freely and participate in a wider range of physical activities. Heavy breasts can make even basic movement uncomfortable. After surgery, patients often return to cardio workouts, yoga, and strength training without shoulder strain or skin irritation. Movement becomes easier. Improved posture helps with breathing, especially during high-intensity exercise or outdoor activities. You may find that your stamina increases as your body no longer has to work as hard to carry extra weight.

Improved Clothing Fit and Style Choices

Post-surgery, you’ll likely notice better clothing fit and access to more style options. Many women struggle to find bras, swimsuits, or tops that fit both their bust and waist. A smaller, more balanced chest allows for more off-the-rack choices and less need for alterations. You may feel more comfortable in fitted clothing or activewear that you previously avoided.

Enhanced Emotional and Mental Well-Being

Reducing breast size can also support better confidence and social comfort. Unwanted attention or comments about breast size can lead to self-consciousness or emotional stress. After breast reduction, patients often feel more at ease in public, more confident in relationships, and less burdened by unwanted focus on their appearance.

Unlike breast augmentation or using Motiva breast implants for volume enhancement, breast reduction serves those needing relief, not just change. Everybody is different, and Elite Plastic Surgery’s goal is always personalized care based on your needs.

What to Expect During a Breast Reduction Consultation at Elite Plastic Surgery

Our consultations focus on evaluating your medical history, symptoms, and goals to see if breast reduction is right for you. At Elite Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi begin each breast reduction with a private consultation. During this visit, we review your full medical history and assess whether you would benefit from surgery. If you’re living with disproportionately large breasts, shoulder grooves from bra straps, or activity limitations due to breast size, this procedure may be appropriate.

Comprehensive Patient Assessment

We examine physical structure, postural habits, and contributing factors like excess weight or hormone imbalance. Many patients come to us reporting painfully heavy breasts, frequent back or neck pain, or a slumped posture. These symptoms can affect daily comfort and mobility. We identify the underlying causes, which may include muscular weakness or hormonal shifts, and explore how breast reduction surgery may relieve pressure and improve alignment. We also clarify how this surgery differs from procedures like breast augmentation, depending on your goals.

Setting Personalized Goals

We align your treatment with your ideal body proportions, tissue characteristics, and plans. We’ll talk through your lifestyle, physical discomforts, and aesthetic vision. Whether you’re reducing breast volume for physical relief or increased mobility, Elite Plastic Surgery tailors the approach to meet your long-term needs, with comfort, symmetry, and proportion in mind.

Surgical Process and Post-Op Recovery with Elite Plastic Surgery

Breast reduction removes excess skin, fat, and tissue while reshaping and lifting the breasts for improved function and balance. Your procedure begins with a detailed preoperative plan. During breast reduction surgery in Phoenix at Elite Plastic Surgery, Dr. Rozbeh and Dr. Radbeh Torabi will mark incision sites, typically around the areola and vertically to the breast crease. This is based on your anatomy and goals. The method we follow allows for accurate tissue removal and a natural result.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts two to three hours. We may keep the nipple attached and reposition it to a higher location, or in some cases, remove and reattach it if a greater reduction is needed. Once excess tissue is removed, we reshape and suture the breast for an even, proportional appearance.

What the Surgery Involves

Each technique is based on breast size, tissue volume, and the desired shape. Whether you’re addressing pain from heavy breasts or improving posture, our approach focuses on long-term comfort and symmetry.

Recovery Support from Our Team

You’ll receive detailed instructions, compression garments, and scheduled follow-ups to support recovery. Most patients rest for 7–10 days before returning to work and resume full activity in six to eight weeks. Nipple sensitivity often returns gradually within a year.
