What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size. The procedure also reshapes the breasts and repositions the nipple and areola.

At SOMA, breast reduction procedures in Pasadena are carefully planned to relieve discomfort while maintaining natural-looking shape and symmetry.

What Breast Reduction Can Address

Types of Breast Reduction Techniques

Different surgical techniques may be used depending on your anatomy and the amount of reduction required. Your provider will determine the most appropriate approach based on your goals and anatomy.

Traditional Breast Reduction

This technique involves removing excess tissue and reshaping the breast through carefully placed incisions, allowing for significant size reduction and contour improvement.

Liposuction-Assisted Reduction

In select cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat and reduce breast size with smaller incisions, offering a less invasive option for certain patients.

Combination Techniques

Many procedures involve a combination of tissue removal and reshaping techniques to achieve the most balanced and natural result.
