Breast Reduction in San Antonio

What is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and alleviate symptoms including neck and back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, skin rashes under the breasts, and postural problems. It is often combined with a breast lift to reposition the nipple and reshape the breast.

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients return to light activity in 2 to 3 weeks and resume full exercise at 6 to 8 weeks. Results are long-lasting, though the breasts will continue to age naturally over time.

When breast reduction is performed primarily for medical reasons (documented back pain, skin rashes, nerve symptoms), insurance may cover a portion of the cost. Your surgeon can provide the documentation needed to submit a pre-authorization request.
