Should I get Breast Reduction Surgery?
If you struggle with any of the following issues, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery:
- Overlarge, droopy breasts
- You suffer from back or neck pain due to the weight of your breasts.
- You experience rashes or discomfort due to the size of your breasts.
- Standard clothing sizes do not fit your body.
- You experience unwanted attention due to breast size.
- Your breasts are so heavy that you must wear special bra sizes and suffer from grooves on your shoulders from the bra straps.
What is a Breast Reduction Surgery Like?
Your breast reduction surgery will be customized to match what needs to be done to create smaller, round, firm breasts that suit your figure. You may require alterations to nipple/areola size or location as part of the procedure. The incisions are placed around the areolas and down the lower portion of your breasts. The excess fat and glandular tissue will be removed, the remaining tissue reshaped, the nipple placed on the front of your breasts with the underlying structure intact, and the sutures closed.
During surgery, you will be under anesthesia and will not experience any discomfort. Almost all women who have overlarge breasts, find that the surgery is well worth going through, and they will be free from the trouble their breasts have caused them, personally, physically, and emotionally.
What techniques are used for breast reduction?
In recent years, surgeons have discovered several newer and more innovative approaches to traditional breast reduction. Dr. Sadrian is up-to-date on the latest advances in technology and technique and will select the most appropriate method for your procedure after a detailed consultation and physical evaluation. In all cases, he seeks to minimize scarring with well-concealed incisions and promote natural-looking outcomes and a smooth recovery process.
He will choose among the following:
Circumareolar breast reduction — Here, Dr. Sadrian will create an incision shaped like a doughnut around the areola. This is ideal for those requiring only minimal excision of tissue, skin, and fat.
Circumvertical breast reduction — This approach, also called a “Lollipop” reduction, involves an incision that encircles the areola and runs vertically down to the breast crease. It is ideal for women with a moderate amount of breast tissue excess.
Anchor breast reduction — This surgery is typically reserved for women with a significant amount of breast skin, tissue, and fat to be excised. The incision stretches around the nipple, down the breast to the inframammary fold, and then horizontally along the breast crease, creating the appearance of an anchor or upside-down “T”.
Liposuction breast reduction — In rare cases, it may be possible for Dr. Sadrian to remove excess breast tissue using liposuction alone, affording the client minimal scarring and reduced downtime.
Factors that will affect Dr. Sadrian’s choice of technique include:
- Breast size and shape
- Degree of breast ptosis
- Degree of breast asymmetry
- Nipple projection
- Areola surface area
- Skin elasticity
- Bodily proportions
- Individual goals, wishes, and preferences

Your Recovery from Breast Reduction Surgery: What to Expect?
You will need to make plans for your recovery following your breast reduction in San Diego. Upon awakening from surgery your breasts will be protected by a surgical bra to hold them firmly in place during healing. Plan on taking at least one week off work to rest and recover. We will see you several times after your procedure to ensure all is proceeding as it should.
It is normal to experience some pain, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with ice packs and pain medication. You will be limited in your physical activities for about one month – no vigorous exercise or motions. It is critical that there is no stress on the incisions, so they heal properly.
