What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to your body. This surgery not only enhances the aesthetics of your breasts but also alleviates the physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
Benefits of breast reduction surgery include:
- Relief of neck and shoulder pain.
- Improved posture.
- Resolution of breast fold rashes.
- Enhanced breast shape and proportion.
- Increased levels of activity and mobility.
- Better fit in clothing, making shopping and dressing more enjoyable.
- Boosted self-confidence.
What Are the Types of Breast Reductions?
Liposuction Breast Reduction
Vertical or Lollipop Breast Reduction
Preferred for women who require moderate reductions, this technique involves incisions around the areola and vertically from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. Through these, Dr. Brownlee removes or repositions your excess tissue while tightening your skin to provide dramatic yet natural-looking results.
Inverted-T or Anchor Breast Reduction
If you require a significant reduction and reshaping of your breasts, the inverted-T reduction is the procedure for you. Using incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease, Dr. Brownlee is able to remove a substantial amount of tissue and completely rejuvenate your breasts. This method allows for the most transformative results, ensuring you achieve a balanced, proportionate, and comfortable breast size.
Breast Reduction with Free Nipple Grafts
Dr. Brownlee employs the free nipple graft technique for women requiring an extensive reduction where preserving the blood supply to the nipple is challenging. The nipple is removed and grafted back onto the breast in a higher position. This approach achieves a significant size reduction and an optimal breast shape, though it may result in a loss of nipple sensation.

It’s time to embrace a more comfortable and proportionate figure. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Brownlee and our dedicated team want your surgery day to be as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Here’s what you can expect on your surgery day:
Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to go home the same day. Make sure a responsible adult is available to drive you home and assist you, especially for the first night.
After arriving at the surgery center, you’ll be escorted to the pre-op area. Dr. Brownlee will meet with you to review the details of your procedure, address last-minute questions, and make the pre-surgical markings.
For your comfort, our anesthesia provider will administer either general anesthesia or sedation based on your procedure and health needs.
Breast reduction surgery typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your case. Dr. Brownlee takes the necessary time to expertly contour your breasts so that you can achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire.
Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Through these, Dr. Brownlee will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size. The incisions are then meticulously sutured, and you’ll be fitted with a supportive surgical bra.
After the procedure, you’ll be taken to our recovery area where our dedicated team will help you wake up smoothly and comfortably.
Before you leave, we’ll review your post-op instructions, activity guidelines, medication directions, signs to watch for, and your scheduled follow-up with both you and the person caring for you at home.

Breast Reduction Surgery in Dallas & Fort Worth, TX - FAQs
The cost of breast reduction surgery varies based on the complexity of your procedure and any additional treatments you may choose. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Brownlee customizes each breast reduction to meet your individual goals, which can influence the overall price. During your consultation, we will provide a clear breakdown of costs for your personalized treatment plan. Our team is committed to offering transparent pricing and discussing available financing options to help make this life-changing procedure accessible to you.
The results of breast reduction surgery are generally long-lasting, providing significant relief from the discomfort and aesthetic concerns associated with overly large breasts. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, and pregnancy can affect your breast size and shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results. Dr. Brownlee will guide you on how to maintain your results, ensuring you enjoy the benefits of your breast reduction surgery for many years to come.
Recovery timelines can vary, but most patients return to light activities and work within 1 to 2 weeks. You can resume cardio exercises after 3 weeks but must avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for 6 weeks to allow your body time to heal. Dr. Brownlee will provide personalized post-op care instructions and monitor your progress during follow-up appointments. She will let you know when it’s safe to resume specific activities, ensuring a smooth and safe recovery.
Breast reduction surgery involves incisions, which can lead to scars. However, Dr. Brownlee employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and strategically place incisions in discrete areas. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less visible. Our team will make sure you understand the expected scarring and provide guidance on how to care for your incisions so that you can maximize your results.
Begin your preparation by consulting with Dr. Brownlee to discuss your goals, medical history, and any medications you are taking. She may recommend a medical evaluation, lab tests, or a mammogram before proceeding. To achieve the best results, maintain a stable weight in the months leading up to your procedure and stop smoking at least 6 weeks before and after surgery. Our team will provide detailed pre-op instructions, including dietary guidelines and day-of-surgery preparations, to ensure that you feel fully prepared and comfortable.
You’ll be asleep under general anesthesia for your breast reduction surgery. Our skilled anesthesia team will be present to monitor you closely, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout your transformation. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, we prioritize your well-being so that you can feel confident and at ease knowing you’re in expert hands.
Breast reduction surgery can sometimes be combined with other procedures, depending on the specifics of the additional surgery and the total time you’ll be under anesthesia. Commonly combined procedures include liposuction, skin tightening, or other body contouring procedures. Dr. Brownlee carefully evaluates each case to ensure that combining procedures is safe and feasible. During your consultation, she will discuss your goals and determine the best approach to achieve your desired outcomes while prioritizing your health and safety.
If you’re experiencing physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to the size of your breasts, breast reduction surgery can offer relief and a more balanced appearance. The decision to undergo this procedure is not solely based on breast size; it’s guided by your personal discomfort and the challenges you face, such as neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation, mobility issues, and difficulty finding clothes that fit comfortably. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, we don’t focus on numbers; we focus on addressing the issues affecting your quality of life and helping you achieve the comfort and confidence you deserve.
While breast reduction surgery permanently removes excess breast tissue and fat, it’s possible for your remaining tissues to increase in size due to significant weight gain, hormonal changes, or pregnancy. Adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle can help prolong the benefits of your surgery. Dr. Brownlee will provide personalized guidance on how to preserve your results through various life stages, ensuring you enjoy long-lasting satisfaction with your new breast size and shape.
Your weight plays an important role in breast reduction surgery. For safety and optimal results, Dr. Brownlee recommends having a BMI under 35 at the time of your procedure. It’s also crucial to maintain a stable weight before and after surgery, as significant changes can affect the long-term size and shape of your breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Brownlee will carefully assess your health and provide personalized recommendations to prepare you for surgery. Her goal is to help you achieve beautiful, lasting results that you’ll love for years to come.
Breastfeeding after a breast reduction is possible, but your ability may vary depending on the extent of your reduction and your individual anatomy. Dr. Brownlee strives to preserve the milk ducts and nerves that are important for breastfeeding, but some women may experience a reduced ability to produce milk. It’s important to discuss your desire to breastfeed with Dr. Brownlee during your consultation. She will consider your goals and work to optimize the surgical timing and approach to maximize your chances of breastfeeding in the future.
