Feel comfortable, confident, and free in your body with our breast reduction surgery.
If large, heavy breasts are affecting your daily life, you deserve a solution that improves both comfort and confidence. Dr. Bret Johnson, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience performing breast reduction surgery.
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat, breast tissue, and skin from the breasts to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size. A breast reduction not only improves the cosmetic appearance of the breast but also has many functional benefits, such as a reduction in neck, shoulder back pain, and an improvement in posture.
A breast reduction is performed to remove excess breast tissue and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast that is lifted to a higher position on the chest. People opt for breast lift surgery for various reasons, including:
Here’s how our breast reduction surgery can improve your quality of life:
Heavy breasts can put a strain on the spine and shoulders, leading to chronic pain and posture issues. A breast reduction removes excess weight, helping relieve discomfort and improve overall body alignment.
Running, exercising, and even simple daily activities can feel difficult with large breasts. A reduction allows for greater freedom of movement, making workouts and an active lifestyle more enjoyable and pain-free.
Finding clothes that fit comfortably and proportionally can be frustrating. With a smaller, balanced shape, you’ll have more freedom to wear what you love without discomfort or limited choices.
Feeling comfortable in your body plays a huge role in self-esteem. Breast reduction helps create a balanced, proportional figure, so you can feel more confident in your skin.

Breast reduction surgery removes extra breast tissue and skin to create a smaller, more lifted shape. Dr. Johnson typically uses the Wise pattern technique (also known as an anchor or inverted-T lift). This method involves incisions around the areola, down the center of the breast, and along the crease. It allows for more skin removal and better reshaping—ideal for moderate to severe sagging. While it does involve more incisions, they tend to fade well over time and heal with a natural appearance
Here’s what to expect:
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia ensuring a comfortable experience.
Incisions are based on the the breast size, shape, and degree of sagging but are most commonly performed in an anchor, or inverted-T pattern
The underlying breast tissue is removed, reshaped, and lifted to improve contour and reduce the overall size. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height, and excess skin is removed.
The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures below the skin. Some incision lines will be visible but the resulting scars will fade over time.
Many patients with large, pendulous breasts also have excess fat in the lateral chest and axillary region. For these patients, liposuction of the lateral chest and axillary region in combination with a breast reduction can further enhance and improve the appearance of the breasts.
Following surgery, patients will be monitored in the recovery area and are allowed to go home the same day. Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided. Discomfort will frequently subside over the next few days after surgery and people frequently return to normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks. It is important to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks to allow for full healing.
It is common for the breast to appear slightly flat along the lower pole and extra pushed up in the immediate post-op period. The breasts will slowly settle into their final position with final results present within 3 months.
Pricing will vary depending on the exact surgical approach for your procedure. However the typical price range is between $10000-$12000.
