BREAST REDUCTIONin Beverly Hills, CA

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.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR BREAST REDUCTION

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.

Breast Reduction Benefits

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:

  • Long-term relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
  • Improved posture and spinal alignment
  • Elimination of painful grooves from bra straps
  • Reduction of skin irritation, chafing, or rashes under the breasts
  • A more proportionate, flattering silhouette
  • Enhanced self-image and emotional well-being
  • Greater freedom in clothing choices, including fitted tops and swimwear
  • Renewed ability to enjoy physical activity, sports, or exercise
  • Better sleep and overall physical comfort

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.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction?

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:

  • You regularly experience back, shoulder, or neck pain due to breast weight
  • Bra straps leave deep indentations in your shoulders
  • Your breasts limit your ability to exercise or enjoy physical activities
  • You suffer from chronic skin irritation or infections under the breast fold
  • Your breasts feel heavy, pendulous, or out of proportion with your frame
  • You have difficulty finding bras or clothes that fit properly
  • You experience emotional discomfort or self-consciousness about your breast size
  • You are in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations
  • You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

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.

RECOVERING FROM A BREAST REDUCTION

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.

Your Breast Reduction Results

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:

  • You’ll notice a lighter, more proportionate chest immediately after surgery
  • Most swelling subsides over the first 4–6 weeks
  • Scars soften and fade over the course of 6–12 months
  • Final results are typically visible between 3 to 6 months post-surgery
  • Results are long-lasting with stable body weight and healthy lifestyle habits

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.

Your Breast Reduction Aftercare Steps

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:

  • Supportive bras are essential. Even after you’ve healed, wearing a well-fitting, supportive bra helps prevent premature sagging and keeps your breast tissue comfortably in place—especially during exercise or high-impact activities.
  • Maintain a stable weight. Significant weight fluctuations can affect the size and shape of your breasts over time. Aim for a healthy, consistent weight to preserve your results and overall body balance.
  • Protect your skin from the sun. UV exposure can darken scars and affect skin elasticity. Apply sunscreen or keep your incision areas covered when spending time outdoors, especially in the first year after surgery.
  • Nourish your skin and body. Hydrated, healthy skin heals better and looks more vibrant. Drink plenty of water, use gentle moisturizers, and maintain a nutrient-rich diet that supports tissue health.
  • Stay active, but mindful. Exercise helps maintain tone and stability, but it’s important to choose activities that support your body and avoid repetitive stress on the chest area. Always wear proper support when working out.
  • Check in with your body. Over time, hormonal changes, aging, or other life events (like pregnancy) may impact your breast tissue. Keeping in touch with your body—and your plastic surgeon—can help you decide if any future touch-ups might be beneficial down the line.

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.

CAN YOU COMBINE A BREAST REDUCTION WITH A BREAST LIFT?

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.
