Breast Reduction
Relief and Balance Through Breast Reduction
Alleviate discomfort and restore proportion with surgical precision
Overly large breasts can cause more than cosmetic concerns—they often lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and emotional discomfort. Many women with macromastia experience neck and back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, skin irritation beneath the breasts, and difficulty with physical activity. These issues can worsen with age, weight changes, or after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
At Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Percy Lo performs breast reduction surgery to alleviate these physical burdens while reshaping the breasts to better suit your frame. The result is improved comfort, posture, and confidence—with a more natural and balanced appearance.

How Breast Reduction Surgery Works
Reduce, reshape, and lift the breasts for comfort and proportion
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. The procedure typically includes:
Lifting and reshaping the breast mound
Repositioning the nipples and areolae to a more centered, forward-facing position
Improving symmetry between breasts
Addressing sagging with a built-in breast lift
In some cases, liposuction may also be used to contour the outer chest and sides for a smoother, more defined shape.
Benefits include:
Relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain
Elimination of bra strap grooves and skin irritation
Improved breast shape and proportion
Increased ability to exercise and enjoy physical activity
Better fit in clothing and undergarments
Is Breast Reduction Right for You?
Candidacy based on comfort, proportion, and health
You may be a strong candidate for breast reduction if you:
Have persistent physical discomfort due to heavy breasts
Experience rashes or skin breakdown beneath the breasts
Avoid certain activities or clothing due to breast size
Feel self-conscious about breast disproportion
Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
During your consultation, Dr. Lo will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and recommend a surgical plan that aligns with your needs. Patients should be at or near a stable weight before surgery for the best results.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Comfortable care and guided recovery every step of the way
Breast reduction is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Surgery typically lasts about 3–4 hours, depending on the degree of correction.
After surgery, you’ll wear a supportive surgical bra, and Dr. Lo will provide complete recovery instructions. Most patients experience:
Moderate swelling, soreness, and bruising during the first week
Drainage tubes (in some cases) that are removed at a follow-up visit
Return to light activity within 7–10 days
Full recovery within 4–6 weeks, with final results continuing to improve as swelling subsides
You should avoid heavy lifting, upper body exercise, or sleeping on your stomach until cleared by Dr. Lo.
A Lighter, More Confident You
Experience both physical relief and aesthetic improvement
Breast reduction is more than a cosmetic procedure—it’s a life-enhancing transformation. From easing pain to improving how your body moves, it helps patients feel lighter, more confident, and free to wear the clothes and live the lifestyle they choose.
With his surgical precision and attention to proportion, Dr. Lo creates results that are tailored, natural, and empowering—so you can feel like yourself again, just more comfortable.
