Breast Reduction New Jersey

Breast reduction surgery typically involves removing excess breast tissue and fat, repositioning the nipple and areola, and reshaping the breast for a more proportional appearance. Our surgeons use the latest techniques to minimize scarring and ensure the best possible results.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours to complete. You can expect to go home the same day and return to work and other activities within a few weeks.

We recommend breast reduction surgery for women who experience physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to the size of their breasts. Candidates for the procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.

Recovery time after breast reduction surgery varies for each patient, depending on factors such as age, overall health and the depth of the surgery. For most breast reduction patients, you will be able to move around with only mild discomfort within the first few days. A significant portion of the swelling and bruising will decrease quickly over 1-2 weeks. It takes several months of healing to reveal the final results, as swelling will continue to decrease over time.

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 1-2 weeks. Light exercise and more moderate workouts can be considered after 3-4 weeks. Avoid raising your arms above your head and heavy lifting. Patients should refrain from arduous workouts for at least a full month after the breast reduction surgery. Always consult with your physician before exercising, as times vary on a case by case basis.

It depends on the individual’s insurance policy and the specific criteria set by the insurance provider. Generally, insurance providers will consider covering breast reduction surgery if it is deemed medically necessary due to physical symptoms such as back, neck or shoulder pain, rashes or skin irritation, and difficulty with physical activity.

The best way to determine if your insurance will cover a breast reduction surgery is to review your policy and contact your insurance provider. You may need to provide documentation of your symptoms and medical history to support your claim.

Insurance providers typically require documentation of significant physical symptoms, such as chronic pain, skin irritation, or difficulty with physical activity. They may also require documentation of prior non-surgical interventions, such as physical therapy or pain medication, before considering surgery.
