Excessively large breasts can cause a variety of physical and psychological challenges for women. The added weight can lead to chronic neck and back pain, shoulder aches, headaches, infections under the breast fold, and a feeling of embarrassment or dissatisfaction with your appearance. Whether you wish to alleviate those symptoms or to reshape your breasts to make them more aesthetically pleasing, a breast reduction in Orange County can help.
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that creates a more proportional upper body through the reduction of excess breast tissue and lifting and reshaping of the reduced breast. This procedure helps women reduce the weight and size of overly-large breasts and achieve a more beautiful, balanced breast shape.

Breast reduction surgery is typically done under general anesthesia and performed as an outpatient procedure in our state-of-the-art, accredited surgery center, where privacy, discretion, and personal care matter to us.
The surgery involves making an incision, then removing excess fat and tissue using liposuction or surgical excision from the breast. The remaining underlying tissue will then be lifted and reshaped, and excess skin will be trimmed away. If necessary, the nipple and areola will be reshaped and repositioned so they are facing front and center on your newly-shaped breast mound.
You will notice almost instantly that the uncomfortable symptoms associated with overly-large breasts are improved or gone entirely, and you will experience a happier and more confident body image.
Breast reduction surgery has some risks, such as bleeding, infection, and reactions to anesthesia, as any surgery does. However, the procedure is generally considered relatively safe and effective. Although uncommon, possible complications can include scarring, breast asymmetry, excess fluid in the breast tissue, and temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or breasts.
Having your surgery performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon such as Dr. Song dramatically reduces the chance of complications or risks in your breast reduction surgery.
The incisions are carefully and precisely made to result in the most minimal scarring possible. The incisions are most commonly made around the areola, but in some cases, incisions may need to include a vertical line down to the breast crease or a further incision across the fold hidden in the breast crease.
After your procedure, your scars will fade and flatten out after about six months. They will continue to lighten and fade in the next couple of years.
Pricing for breast reduction takes into account the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesia fees, postoperative garment fees, and others. Patients undergoing additional procedures at the time of their breast reduction, such as a mommy makeover, liposuction, or mastopexy, will see a higher fee bracket. In cases where a patient is pursuing breast reduction for medical reasons, insurance carriers may cover all or a portion of the costs. During your private consultation, we will provide a detailed quote based on your personalized treatment plan.
