What Is Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces breast size and weight, creates lift, restores nipple position, and reduces the size of the areolas. By removing excess skin, fat, and glandular tissues, this procedure reshapes breast tissues to create smaller, more proportionate breasts.
Breast reduction can decrease physical pain and discomfort and lessen the emotional distress many women endure.
With natural-looking, more proportionate results, breast reduction can provide the ideal solution for patients with large breasts by:
- Reducing neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Increasing energy and stamina
- Eliminating skin irritation or chafing
- Reducing breast sagging
- Restoring enhanced overall figure
- Increasing self-confidence and boosting self-image
Along with improving the breast position and tone, a breast reduction enhances projection for a perkier breast profile. During breast reduction, Dr. Bellamy will create a smaller, more pleasing breast shape to enhance your overall silhouette.
After breast reduction, many women no longer feel burdened by large breasts and choose to pursue a more active lifestyle that may continue to improve their figure, health, and overall well-being.

What Can I Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery?
Dr. Bellamy will perform your procedure in one of our two state-of-the-art, fully certified AAAASF operating rooms. On the day of your surgery, our nursing staff will greet you, and then you’ll review your procedural plan with Dr. Bellamy. He will answer any last-minute questions you may have and make surgical markings before beginning your breast reduction surgery.
Preparing for Your Breast Reduction Procedure
In the weeks before your surgery, we advise you to maintain a healthy, high-protein, low-sodium diet. Stop taking most herbal supplements, especially any containing garlic, fish oil, or zinc. You should also quit using any medicines containing aspirin, including Excedrin, ibuprofen, or Aleve, as these can cause bleeding or bruising. During your consultation, Dr. Bellamy will review all your current medications and instruct you on how to proceed with them.
Smoking, vaping, or using any other nicotine products are strictly off-limit for at least four weeks before and after your procedure. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and affects the body’s ability to heal itself, potentially impacting your recovery and results.
Boca Raton Breast Reduction Procedure and Recovery
Dr. Bellamy will begin your breast reduction by creating incisions through which he’ll remove excess skin, fat, and breast tissues. Then, Dr. Bellamy will reposition the nipples and areolas to a more youthful location.
After reshaping and elevating your breasts, Dr. Bellamy will layer sutures deep within the tissues for support.
Breast reduction is an outpatient surgery. You’ll need to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first day. You may require assistance with simple daily tasks, especially if you have young children, pets, or other family members under your care.
Following your breast reduction surgery, you will need to wear a surgical or support bra full-time for at least two to four weeks to minimize swelling and support your new breast contours.
Plan on taking approximately one to two weeks off from work for recovery. For four to six weeks, you will need to avoid strenuous activities, including exercising, heavy lifting, or other activities that use the chest muscles. However, Dr. Bellamy recommends slow walking as soon as you feel well enough.

As your body heals and swelling goes down, your new breast profile will continue to improve. Most swelling resolves within the first six weeks; however, residual swelling may last up to six months.
