Breast reduction removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a size that is more proportionate to your body and comfortable for daily life. Many patients seek this procedure not only for aesthetics but for real physical relief: chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, skin irritation, and difficulty exercising or finding clothes that fit are common motivations. A breast lift is typically performed at the same time to reshape and reposition the breast as it's reduced.
A breast reduction is never just about removing volume, the breast gland itself has to be lifted as well. With more than 30 years spent perfecting incision technique, Dr. Fabio avoids methods that leave visible scarring in the cleavage area.

What This Procedure Can Address
- Reduces breast volume and weight for a proportionate silhouette

- Often reshapes and lifts the breast in the same surgery
Technique & Recovery
Reduction surgery removes tissue while repositioning the nipple-areola complex on a shortened breast mound, typically taking 2.5 to 4 hours depending on the amount removed. Many patients notice relief from neck and shoulder discomfort almost immediately after swelling subsides, even before final shape settles. Post-surgical bras are worn for several weeks, and most patients return to non-physical work within 1 to 2 weeks.
