Breast Reduction

Manhattan, New York, Board Certified Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeon, Douglas Senderoff, MD, FACS, has been performing Bread Reduction Plastic Surgery for well over a decade. Breast Reduction, technically known as "Reduction Mammaplasty", is indicated for women with large, heavy breasts that cause neck and back pain and interfere with normal daily activities. Breast reduction can alleviate the aforementioned problems and id oftentimes covered by insurance.

The breast reduction procedure, as performed by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. A Breast Reduction can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to produce a smaller, better-shaped breast in proportion with the rest of the body.

Your breast reduction operation may be performed on site in Plastic Surgeon's Manhattan, New York fully accredited surgical suite or in one of several hospitals in the New York area.

During your complimentary consultation with the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals with the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Dr. Senderoff will discuss the various surgical techniques, ultimately making a recommendation based on his experience, your anatomy and whether breastfeeding is in your future. Breast Reduction can be performed on either one or both breasts. Either way, the procedure is typically only performed on fully developed breasts.  The NYC Plastic Surgeon will discuss in detail your breast reduction, including where your surgery is likely to be performed, how your nipple will be repositioned, incision size and locations, scarring, risks and recovery.

The best candidates for breast reduction are women with these conditions:
Persistent neck/back/shoulder pain.
Chronic Rashes under the breasts.
Bra strap grooving to the shoulders.
Poor posture
Inability to exercise and lose weight due to large breast size
Embarrassment when wearing swim wear.
Inability to fit into available bras/clothing

If your insurance will not cover your breast reduction, the NYC Plastic Surgeon's  practice offers several options for financing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery costs. The education and caring staff at the Plastic Surgery can help you find a plan that works best with your budget.
