Overview
What is a Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the breasts. It often includes resizing or reshaping the areolae for a more symmetrical look.

Scarring usually fades within six to 12 months. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and set follow-up appointments to track your healing.

FAQ
Common Questions About Breast Reduction
How much does a breast reduction cost in NYC?
It depends on how much tissue is being removed and on whether the areolae are being resized or reshaped at the same time. You get an exact itemized figure at your consultation, and financing through Affirm, Cherry and CareCredit is available.
What does a breast reduction involve?
It is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the breasts, and it often includes resizing or reshaping the areolae for a more symmetrical result. At Allure Plastic Surgery we combine a breast lift and a reduction into a single surgery, which decreases size while improving the shape and position of the breasts.
Why is the lift combined with the reduction?
Because removing volume alone leaves the breast lower than most patients want. Age and pregnancy add to the loss of firmness that is common in women with large breasts, so lifting and repositioning at the same time is what produces a result that looks intentional rather than simply smaller.
What symptoms does a reduction relieve?
Overly large breasts cause real problems, from clothes that do not fit to serious back pain. A reduction relieves the symptoms that come with very large breasts as well as changing their appearance.
Am I a candidate?
Patients who are physically healthy and are dealing with the physical symptoms or the appearance of very large breasts. Your surgeon assesses your anatomy and your goals at the consultation and builds the plan around both.
Where is the surgery performed?
In our AAAHC-accredited surgical facility with board-certified anesthesiologists on site. We serve patients in Manhattan, Staten Island and Edison, New Jersey.
