When searching for information about plastic surgery procedures, it can seem overwhelming. If you’re anything like me (super busy), you wish that someone could just tell you what’s important to know when considering a breast reduction. Well, it’s Charlie to the rescue! I’m here to tell you the basics, and what you need to know when considering this procedure:

1. Breast reduction can improve posture, back pain, grooves in the shoulders from bra straps, body proportions and other physical imperfections.
2. There are different types of incisions: the circumareolar, lollipop, and anchor, each based on the extent of reduction necessary.
3. A breast reduction can be combined with a breast lift, or other surgical procedures.
4. New advancements have allowed for laser breast reduction, like the Stevens Laser Bra.
5. Your breast reduction procedure may be covered by insurance. This will depend on your specific plan and carrier, along with the problems your large breasts are causing.

Many of our Los Angeles breast reduction patients find that they are so thrilled with their breast reduction, they wish they had considered the procedure sooner! If you are considering a breast reduction, the best way to find out if you are a candidate is to talk to your doctor.
