HOME > PROCEDURES > BREAST REDUCTION
The goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce and lift the breasts by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipples and surrounding tissue to improve the overall appearance of the breasts. Patients who have nipples that sit below the breast fold or point downwards, have breasts that are asymmetric, have breasts that are heavy and dense causing neck or back pain, and/or have breasts that sag or feel droopy will benefit from a breast reduction surgery. Dr. Crofts will review different types of breast reduction techniques and give a recommendation for surgery at your consultation.
As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Crofts has performed over a thousand breast reductions. Breast reduction surgery takes a very skilled and experienced surgeon to reposition the nipples and reduce breast tissue all while preserving nerves and minimizing incisions. Dr. Crofts’ artistic eye and experience with breast reduction procedures will give you the confidence in knowing he can maximize your results and reduce and lift the breasts in the safest way possible.

Typical costs for breast reduction range from $11,000 to $15,000. This price includes expenses for the operating room, anesthesia, and Dr. Crofts fees. You will receive a quote for the exact cost of your breast reduction surgery after your consultation.
Recovery for breast reduction surgery is 2 weeks of no lifting over 5 lbs and no strenuous activity.
