Breast Reduction
Reduce breast size to relieve discomfort and improve body balance.
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to bring breast size into better proportion with the body. Beyond appearance, many patients seek this procedure for relief from neck, shoulder, and back discomfort.

How Breast Reduction is performed
Assessment of the amount of tissue to remove and the healthiest incision pattern for your anatomy
Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to the planned volume
The nipple and areola are repositioned higher, keeping their blood and nerve supply intact
Remaining tissue is reshaped and the skin is redraped for a lifted, proportionate contour
Both breasts are compared closely for symmetry before closing
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Have a baseline mammogram if recommended before surgery
- Stop smoking and blood-thinning medications as advised
- Arrange a supportive surgical bra to wear during recovery
- Plan several days of rest with help for household tasks and childcare if needed
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Permanent but generally well-concealed scarring around the areola and down the breast
- Possible temporary difficulty with breastfeeding in the future
- Rare risks include infection, delayed healing, or asymmetry
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
