The Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to help you maintain optimal comfort. Dr. Maffi removes excess tissue and reshapes the breasts, while preserving breast sensation and blood supply. Incisions are typically made around the areola and vertically down the breast, and may also include a horizontal incision along the breast crease, depending on the amount of reduction needed.
Dr. Maffi focuses on achieving a natural breast shape with careful attention to symmetry and proportion. The procedure usually takes several hours to complete. After surgery, patients are monitored and released to a caregiver the same day.
Recovery & Results for Breast Reduction
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal in the initial recovery period. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and typically resume work in about one to two weeks, depending on their specific job requirements. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your healing. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, we prioritize your comfort and support throughout your recovery process.
Breast reduction surgery provides long-lasting relief from overly large breasts, while enhancing your overall silhouette. Patients often experience an improvement in confidence, improved posture, and feel more comfortable during physical activities. Results are intended to be permanent, although weight fluctuations and aging can affect breast size and shape over time.

Candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery
You may be a candidate for breast reduction surgery if you experience chronic discomfort, skin irritation, difficulty exercising, or self-consciousness due to large breasts.
