What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue and skin while reshaping the breasts to a size and proportion appropriate for each patient's body. Beyond cosmetic improvement, the procedure almost immediately relieves chronic neck and back pain, shoulder pain, painful shoulder notching from bra straps, postural problems, skin rashes and irritation beneath the breasts, and difficulty participating in physical activities. At Princeton Rejuvenation Institute in Princeton NJ, every reduction is custom-designed and discussed in detail at a private pre-operative consultation.
What Physical Problems Does Breast Reduction Relieve?
- Chronic neck, upper back, and lower back pain
- Shoulder pain and deep grooves from bra straps
- Skin rashes, irritation, and infections beneath the breasts
- Difficulty exercising, running, or participating in sports
- Postural problems including rounded shoulders and forward head posture
- Breathing difficulties aggravated by breast weight
- Emotional distress related to unwanted attention or difficulty finding clothing
Who Is a Candidate for Breast Reduction?
Women experiencing physical discomfort from overly large breasts are excellent candidates for breast reduction. Candidates should be in good overall health, at or near a stable goal weight, and ideally non-smokers. Women whose breasts have not yet fully developed should typically wait. Breast reduction can be combined with a mastopexy (breast lift) for patients who also desire reshaping, repositioning of the nipple-areola complex, and enhanced elevation.
What Techniques Does Dr. Wisser Use for Breast Reduction?
Dr. Wisser's breast reduction techniques are designed to reduce size sufficiently while reshaping each woman's breasts to best fit her physical build — creating a more youthful, symmetrical, and proportionate appearance. Every procedure is designed to limit incision size wherever possible. In most cases, the nipple-areola complex is elevated to a natural, aesthetically pleasing position.

Does Insurance Cover Breast Reduction?
Many insurance plans cover breast reduction when it is performed to relieve documented physical symptoms — including back pain, shoulder pain, and skin problems. Insurers frequently require documentation of these symptoms, conservative treatments tried, and a minimum amount of tissue to be removed. Dr. Wisser's team will attempt to obtain preauthorization for plans where the procedure is a covered service. For patients without coverage, financing options are available. Contact our team to discuss cost and insurance questions.
What Is Breast Reduction Recovery Like?
Most patients are surprised by how quickly they feel relief from pre-surgical symptoms. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness resolve over three to four weeks. A supportive surgical bra is worn throughout recovery. Most patients return to light desk work within one to two weeks; exercise resumes at four to six weeks. Nurse concierge home nursing services are available for added post-operative support.
