Large breasts can cause physical and social challenges for women. Uneven or excessively large breasts can also impact self-esteem and cause discomfort. Dr. Rachel Mason at Perspectives Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV, has helped many women regain confidence and enhance their quality of life.
Breast reduction surgery in Las Vegas is a breast operation where excess breast tissue and skin are removed to make the breast smaller, lighter, and more lifted. The goals and breast reduction benefits are to relieve any symptoms you are having that are related to having large breasts and to achieve the improvement in appearance that you are seeking.
Several factors may make you a good candidate for breast reduction in Las Vegas:
There are two different types of breast reduction surgery:
“Vertical, or ‘lollipop,’ breast reductions create a circular scar around the nipple and a vertical scar from the nipple to the breast fold. This method is best for smaller reductions and often preferred by younger women who are concerned about visible scarring and its social impact.
The traditional, or ‘anchor,’ method also includes a circular scar around the nipple and a vertical scar, but it adds a long scar along the breast fold. This approach is typically used for larger reductions and chosen by women who are less worried about scarring visibility.
Breast reduction surgery can quickly ease pain in your upper back, neck, and shoulders. It may also help you become more active and boost your self-esteem. You’ll notice results immediately, although full recovery and fading of breast reduction scars might take a few months.
Most of the healing process and recovery from breast reduction occurs within the first four to six weeks while wearing a surgical bra. However, you might experience some swelling for up to three to four months. Scars from the breast reduction surgery recovery usually heal within six months to a year, gradually becoming lighter and flatter over this time.
The cost of a breast surgical reduction can differ. Breast reduction patients with larger breasts may face physical discomfort, which can sometimes lead to breast reduction covered by insurance for the surgical procedure. Contact us to find out the breast reduction cost in Las Vegas.
Yes, you can often have a surgical breast reduction with another procedure. Talk to Dr. Mason to help make the surgical plan that is best for you. Some women may wish to have a tummy tuck, thigh lift, breast lift, or a facial procedure done. And of course, if you want any sort of facial injectables such as fillers or Botox this can be done while you are sleeping.

A breast reduction will not prevent or cause problems with you getting pregnant. However, if you do get pregnant, your breasts may grow again. Some women even need a second breast reduction surgery. But this may be a risk worth taking to improve your quality of life right now.
The good news is that the breast reduction surgery usually leaves enough breast gland tissue that you will still be able to breastfeed. There is no change in the percentage of women who can breastfeed after reducing the percentage of the general population who can breastfeed.
Of course, there is a chance of this being disrupted with any breast surgery, but the odds are in your favor!

All surgeries have potential risks. However, breast reduction cosmetic surgery is generally very safe. The most common complications include infections, reduced nipple sensation, and scarring from the reduction.
Since breast size often decreases with weight loss, insurance companies may not cover breast reduction if your body mass index (BMI) is over a certain level, such as 30 or 35. Instead, they may require you to reduce your BMI to below 30, 35, or another specified target before approving coverage.
