Breast Reduction Overview
Regain Confidence and Comfort
A breast reduction in Austin can be a truly life-changing procedure, eliminating the pain and embarrassment that can result from disproportionately enlarged breasts. A beautifully done breast reduction can help a woman gain control of her body and life and is, therefore, one of the most satisfying treatments available.
What Can a Breast Reduction in Austin Accomplish?
A breast reduction procedure surgically makes the breasts smaller by removing skin, fat, and glandular tissue. The breasts are also usually re-shaped, and areola and nipple reduction can be done during the same procedure. The surgery takes disproportionately enlarged breasts and makes them more balanced and in proportion with the rest of the patient’s body. It also helps alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain, uncomfortable bra strap indentions, skin irritation under the breasts, and difficulty in normal activities (such as exercise) that is often caused by overly large breasts.
A Procedure Customized to Your Personal Needs
Every breast reduction procedure should be as unique as the patient herself. Every breast reduction surgery is different, based on the individual’s body type, medical history, specific problems, and goals. That’s why we tailor-make your treatment plan just for you.
During your consultation, Dr. Linville will thoroughly discuss the surgical details with you, as well as your desired breast and areola size, the location of the incisions, any questions you may have about scarring. Your consultation will leave you with every question and concern answered, as well as a unique procedure plan created for you.

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
A breast reduction in Austin is typically done under general anesthesia. After you are sedated, Dr. Linville will make the incisions in the locations that you have previously discussed. After these incisions are made, the nipple is re-positioned, and the areola is made smaller (if needed) by removing skin at its perimeter. Excess breast tissue is then removed, and what remains is lifted and re-shaped. The incisions are closed, and sutures are used to support the newly contoured breasts. They are not only smaller; they are also more shapely.
Am I a Candidate for a Breast Reduction in Austin?
If you’re interested in breast reduction, you may be a perfect candidate. During your consultation, we will let you know if you meet the requirements. The best candidates for a breast reduction:
- Have fully-developed breasts
- Have finished breastfeeding
- Are in generally good health
- Understand what the surgery can accomplish
What Will My Results and Recovery Be Like After a Breast Reduction in Austin?
After your breast reduction procedure, you’ll be given a surgical bra to help with support and healing. You’ll need to wear this for about a week, and then you can switch to a soft, non-underwire bra. Underwire bras should be avoided for four to six months. The majority of patients return to work about a week after surgery (three if their job is physically demanding).
Do not lift more than one to two pounds for at least two weeks, and do not put any pressure on the incisions. Light exercise is fine after four weeks, and more strenuous exercise after six weeks. Once full results are apparent, patients are able to wear clothes that fit properly, they can run and jog, and they are much more comfortable in their day-to-day lives. Breast reduction patients are nearly always extremely happy with their improved appearance and physical comfort.
