Many women with excessively large, heavy breasts experience debilitating pain in their neck, back, and shoulders. For women with this condition, known as macromastia, their overly large breasts can also cause them to experience headaches, fatigue, poor spinal alignment, and rashes under their breasts. The condition can even make it difficult to exercise. All this can be very frustrating, affecting a woman’s quality of life or making them lose their self-confidence.
Fortunately, a breast reduction with Dr. Gould can address all these issues by strategically removing excess skin and tissue from your breasts. When you come to Dr. Gould’s clinic for a breast reduction, he and his knowledgeable staff can help enhance the look of your breasts while providing you with an unparalleled surgical experience.
Before your breast reduction procedure, Dr. Gould’s team will place you under general anesthesia. The surgery then consists of Dr. Gould carefully removing excess skin and fat from your breasts. The entire procedure takes about two hours.
The results of a breast reduction include perky, youthful-looking breasts that are a perfect fit for your body—bringing you unparalleled physical comfort as well as helping you to feel more comfortable in your appearance.
If large, heavy breasts have made it difficult to move comfortably, enjoy certain styles of clothing, or participate fully in daily activities, this procedure may offer profound and lasting benefits. Dr. Gould’s thoughtful and individualized approach to breast reduction focuses on restoring balance to the body while addressing the unique concerns that have been holding you back. Benefits of breast reduction may include:
Dr. Gould designs each reduction with the patient’s frame and goals in mind, ensuring natural-looking, harmonious results that feel like you, just lighter and more at ease.
Breast reduction is ideal for people who feel physically or emotionally burdened by the size of their breasts. Whether you’re dealing with pain, posture problems, or unwanted attention, this procedure offers relief and a fresh sense of control over your body and how it fits into your life. You may be a strong candidate for breast reduction if:
Certain factors may impact candidacy, such as smoking, certain chronic health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes), or plans for significant weight loss or future pregnancies, which can alter surgical outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Gould will perform a thorough evaluation and walk you through all the considerations to ensure this is the safest and most effective option for you.
To ensure the best possible recovery following your breast reduction Beverly Hills patients are encouraged to follow closely all the recommendations offered by our staff. You should arrange to have someone drive you home immediately after the procedure. For the next two to three weeks—or however long Dr. Gould recommends—you should avoid any heavy lifting or exercise. You should also make sure that you prioritize resting and relaxing in a comfortable space. During your initial consultation, Dr. Gould and his team can answer any questions you might have about your recovery timeline.
One of the most rewarding aspects of breast reduction surgery is how quickly patients feel the difference—often as soon as they wake up from surgery. That immediate sense of lightness and relief is a powerful first step. The full process unfolds gradually over the weeks and months that follow as swelling subsides and your new shape begins to settle into place. Here’s what you can expect from your breast reduction results:
Because each procedure is custom-designed, your outcome will be tailored to your body and goals. Whether you’re seeking subtle relief or a more significant transformation, Dr. Gould’s artistry and surgical precision aim to deliver results that feel natural, empowering, and long-lasting.
While the initial recovery sets the foundation, maintaining your beautiful results long-term requires ongoing care and attention. Breast reduction offers lasting comfort and confidence, and with a few mindful habits, you can enjoy those benefits for many years to come. At Gould Plastic Surgery, we emphasize a holistic approach to aftercare—supporting your healing journey while also helping you adopt lifestyle habits that protect your surgical investment. Tips for maintaining your results long-term:
Dr. Gould and our team are always here to support you—not just through surgery, but well after. We believe that great outcomes are built on education, consistency, and a partnership between patient and surgeon. If you ever have questions or concerns about your long-term results, we’re only a phone call away.
If you are concerned about your breasts appearing too small or not prominent enough after your reduction surgery, remember that you can complement a reduction with a breast lift to further improve and enhance the appearance, firmness, and symmetry of your bust. Dr. Gould’s breast lift precisely removes loose breast skin while shaping and contouring your breasts. He also repositions your remaining breast tissue and relocates your nipples to a more upright and younger-looking position.
Combining your Beverly Hills breast reduction with a breast lift will ensure your breasts still have a rounded, contoured shape while returning them to a higher position on your chest, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Because breast reduction is not a one-size-fits-all procedure, the cost can vary depending on your anatomy, your goals, and any combination treatments you choose. At Gould Plastic Surgery, each procedure is carefully personalized to ensure that your outcome is safe, natural-looking, and reflective of your ideal proportions.
Factors that influence cost may include:
Your quote will typically include:
During your consultation, you’ll receive a clear and comprehensive breakdown of costs. We believe in full transparency, and our team is always available to answer financial questions or assist with financing options if needed.
In his practice, Dr. Gould strives to harmonize medical expertise with compassionate care for his patients.

Yes, breast reduction is a highly common procedure, especially among women seeking relief from physical discomfort and lifestyle limitations caused by overly large breasts. It has one of the highest patient satisfaction rates of any plastic surgery.
No, breast reduction does not increase the risk of breast cancer. In fact, by removing excess glandular tissue, it may make future breast screenings more accurate. As with any surgery, there are risks, but Dr. Gould’s advanced training and surgical expertise help minimize complications.
Results are long-lasting and typically permanent, but factors like pregnancy, weight gain, and natural aging can influence breast size and shape over time. Most patients do not require additional procedures if they maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Yes, you’ll be advised to wear a soft support bra or surgical garment during the early recovery period. This helps reduce swelling, support your healing tissue, and promote optimal shape.
Many women can still breastfeed after surgery, though it depends on the technique used, how much tissue is removed, and your individual anatomy. Dr. Gould will talk with you about your future breastfeeding plans and tailor your procedure accordingly when possible.
