Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and weight. It is a lift and a reduction in one: the remaining tissue is reshaped and raised, and the nipple is repositioned to a natural height. Patients routinely rank it among the highest-satisfaction procedures in all of plastic surgery.
Strong candidates typically experience:
There is no single size that qualifies. What matters is how your breasts affect your life and what proportion feels right to you.
Dr. Goel most often uses the lollipop or anchor incision pattern, depending on how much tissue is removed. He shapes the breast from the inside out, preserving blood supply and, whenever possible, nipple sensation and the potential to breastfeed. You discuss your goal size together beforehand so the result matches your expectations. Surgery takes two to three hours in an accredited facility.
Most patients describe relief almost immediately, often noticing the weight difference the first week. Desk work resumes in about one week, exercise in four to six. Swelling settles and the final shape emerges over two to three months.
Dr. Goel, trained at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and Chief Resident at UC Irvine, treats reduction as both a functional and aesthetic operation. Lighter, yes, but also beautifully shaped.
Sometimes, when documented symptoms meet your insurer's criteria. We can discuss what documentation helps at your consultation.
Most patients retain sensation. Dr. Goel's technique preserves the nerve supply whenever anatomy allows.
That is a shared decision. Dr. Goel will tell you the range that keeps your result safe, proportionate, and lasting.
