What Is Breast Reduction?
Abnormally large breasts can create social and functional problems for women. In addition, extremely large breasts can lead to self-confidence issues and overall embarrassment, as well as pain in both the neck and back. Refine Plastic Surgery, serving Midland-Odessa, TX patients, has helped countless women rebuild their confidence and enjoy an active lifestyle through cosmetic breast reduction. This aesthetic surgery reduces excess breast tissue and skin to redefine and reshape the breasts to a more compatible size. This surgery also reconstructs the size of the nipples and repositions them so they look natural with the new size. In most situations, a breast lift can be performed to produce a tighter and younger-looking appearance. Medical spa treatments and surgical consultations are held at our Odessa, TX location. All surgeries are performed at Choice Care Surgery Center in Midland, TX, an advanced, fully accredited, and state-of-the-art outpatient ambulatory surgical center.
How Is Breast Reduction Performed?
Surgical breast reduction is an outpatient procedure and is performed with general anesthesia. The timeframe for the surgery is dependent upon various factors, including the incision type, the overall surgical technique, and finally, the degree of reduction. The nipple and areola repositioning is also a factor. In most cases, liposuction is used for fat and tissue elimination to decrease breast size. During a private consultation, all of these aspects are addressed with our surgical team. The topic of scarring is also thoroughly examined and talked through as it is likely to occur. However, advanced methods have led to a noticeable reduction in overall scarring. Based on the intricacy of the reduction, either an anchor or a straight line (vertical) incision will be used. The breast tissue will be removed, and the existing tissue and skin will be tightened.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction?
While a number of people may seek ways to grow the volume of their breasts, for others, overly large breasts have the potential to negatively influence their daily habits and confidence.

Breast Reduction Reviews
I first met Dr. Brown under unfortunate circumstances. I was in a car accident that basically shattered my wrist. He gained my trust after doing a fantastic job repairing my wrist, so I decided to also trust him as my plastic surgeon. I had breast augmentation years ago that needed revision. Dr. Brown listened to all my concerns and in order to meet my expectations, recommended an implant exchange as well as a fat transfer using my own body fat to achieve the more natural appearance I desired. The results are beautiful on both the liposuction/fat transfer and the implant exchange. Dr. Brown and his nurse, Leigh Ann are both so compassionate and caring. Highly recommend this team!

Love Love Love! ❤️ I recently had a breast augmentation with fat transfer done with Dr.Brown at Refine Plastic Surgery and I couldn’t be happier. My husband and I were comfortable from our very first consultation with Dr Brown. He is so very knowledgeable and professional. My 🍒 look perfect!! Better than I could have ever imagined and keep getting better every day that they settle. In fact, they look so great that my mother wants to make a consultation next! The surgery center was great. I was super nervous about going under and everyone was very reassuring. They gave me some good meds to calm my nerves and surgery was over before I knew it. I can’t say enough good things about the girls that work there either. Griselle has helped me so much during this time! And Leigh Ann does an amazing job on my RF Skin Tightening Treatments. All of them are so sweet and I swear we talk like we’ve known each other for years every time I come in! I would 100% recommend Dr Brown and his team to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery done.

Breast Reduction FAQ
How much does breast reduction surgery cost?
Your cost for breast reduction surgery will be reviewed with our team during your consultation. Once we develop your personalized treatment plan, it becomes easier to estimate total pricing, including anesthesia fees, surgical facility fees, and other related expenses that factor into the overall breast reduction cost. Because reduction mammaplasty often delivers meaningful relief and long-term satisfaction, our staff can also walk you through low-interest financing options to help make treatment more accessible. In addition, we assist with insurance coordination for breast reduction and will help you communicate with your provider to determine whether medically necessary breast reduction may qualify for partial coverage.
Will my nipples be moved?
Usually, the nipples and areola are repositioned higher on the breast during surgery to create a more balanced, natural-looking result. When a larger amount of breast tissue and skin is removed, the nipple-areola complex may need to be moved as part of the procedure. We will select the most appropriate technique, often using the anchor incision breast reduction technique to safely elevate the nipple and areola. It is also possible to reduce areola size using an areolatome. All surgical options, including breast reduction incision types and expected outcomes, are discussed during your consultation so we can help you choose a plan that aligns with your goals.
Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery can affect your ability to breastfeed, and outcomes vary from patient to patient. Although some women may still be able to breastfeed after a surgical reduction, others may experience challenges or be unable to breastfeed at all. It is difficult to predict how breast reduction surgery and breastfeeding will interact because results depend on factors such as surgical technique, preservation of milk ducts, nipple sensation, and overall breast tissue removal. For this reason, we recommend that patients consider whether they are finished having children or feel comfortable with the possibility of reduced milk supply after breast reduction before moving forward with surgery. Understanding the potential impact on future breastfeeding ability, lactation after breast surgery, and pregnancy after breast reduction can help patients make a confident, informed decision about their care.
