Excessively large breasts can cause significant physical discomfort, including chronic back pain, neck strain, and shoulder discomfort. Many women also experience skin irritation, difficulty finding properly fitting clothing, and limitations in physical activity. If you are struggling with these challenges, a breast reduction may provide the relief you need while improving body proportion and overall confidence.
At Renue Aesthetic Surgery in Overland Park, KS, Dr. Victor Perez, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, specializes in breast procedures designed to alleviate discomfort and create a balanced, natural-looking breast contour.
Who Is a Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are healthy individuals experiencing discomfort due to excessively large breasts. If traditional treatments such as weight loss, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory medications have failed to resolve these issues, a surgical breast reduction may be the best solution.
During a personalized consultation with Dr. Perez, he will discuss the pros and cons of the procedure, evaluate your concerns, and determine the best approach based on your body type, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reshape and lift the breasts. The type and extent of the incision vary based on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Common Breast Reduction Techniques
Breast reduction techniques vary based on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed and the patient’s desired outcome. Dr. Perez carefully selects the most suitable technique for each individual to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
Vertical or “Lollipop” Reduction
- Best for moderate breast reductions.
- Involves an incision around the areola and vertically down the lower breast.
- Results in a natural breast shape with less scarring.
Inverted-T or “Anchor” Reduction
- Suitable for larger breast reductions with significant skin laxity.
- Uses an incision around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the crease.
- Allows for maximum tissue removal and reshaping.
Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction
- Ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and minor breast volume reduction needs.
- Uses small incisions for a less invasive approach.
Dr. Perez employs a modified technique that reduces excess scarring while enhancing upper pole fullness, creating a more youthful and lifted breast shape.
What to Expect During Recovery
Most patients recover from a breast reduction within two to three weeks, with gradual improvements in comfort and appearance over time.
Post-Surgical Care & Healing
- Mild discomfort is expected and can be managed with prescribed oral pain medication.
- A compression garment is worn for two weeks to support healing.
- Early ambulation is encouraged, but strenuous activity should be avoided for at least three weeks.
- Dr. Perez provides scar management techniques, including post-surgical tape and scar massage, to promote optimal healing.
Scarring typically fades over time, with full maturation taking anywhere from six months to 18 months, depending on skin type and healing response.
