Breast reduction in NYC offers relief to overly large breasts that can cause daily discomfort ranging from back and neck pain to difficulty exercising or finding clothing that fits comfortably. Breast reduction surgery offers long-lasting relief by restoring balance, comfort, and confidence.
What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is a surgical procedure that reduces excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a size that better suits your proportions. Beyond the aesthetic benefits, the surgery alleviates physical symptoms such as upper-back pain, bra-strap grooving, rashes, and difficulty with physical activity.
How Is a Breast Reduction Performed?
Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia and involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a lighter, smaller, and more proportionate breast shape. Dr. Franck uses different types of skin incisions depending on your anatomy, allowing him to lift the breast, reposition the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful height, and refine the overall contour.
Relief From Physical Discomfort
Breast reduction reduces chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of overly large breasts. Many patients experience immediate improvement in posture, mobility, and daily comfort.
Improved Body Proportions and Shape
By creating a smaller, lighter, and more balanced breast contour, the procedure enhances overall body proportions. Clothing fits more naturally, and patients often feel more aligned with their ideal silhouette
Greater Ease With Exercise and Daily Activities
Many patients find that daily routine movement and activities like running, yoga, or strength training become more accessible and enjoyable once the weight and mass of the breasts are reduced.
Good Candidates for a Breast Reduction
You may be a good candidate for a breast reduction if you:
Have shoulder-strap grooving or skin irritation
Have difficulty with exercise or daily activities
Have heavy breasts that feel out of proportion
Have good overall health and stable weight
Are a non-smoker or willing to stop before surgery

FAQs
Results are long-lasting. As long as your weight remains stable and hormones do not significantly change, your breast size typically stays consistent.
There is no single best age. The right time is when symptoms affect your quality of life and your breast development is complete—often late teens and older.
Weight loss may reduce fatty breast tissue in some patients, but true breast reduction,especially for glandular tissue most often requires surgery.
Most patients retain normal sensation. Temporary changes are common; permanent loss is uncommon but possible.
A lift reshapes and elevates the breast but does not remove significant volume. A reduction both lifts and decreases size.
Overall pain is very manageable. Most patients describe tightness and pressure more than sharp pain. Discomfort is well managed with medication.
This is very patient dependent. I recommend a few days off work to manage pain and discomfort. Most patients return to work in 1–2 weeks, depending on job demands.
