What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast size. As a result, women often notice a remarkable relief of back pain, neck strain, and posture, as the breasts are lifted and made more proportional.
Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery
- Relief from Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain – Reduce strain caused by large, heavy breasts.
- Improved Posture – Lighter breasts can help improve spinal alignment and posture.
- Enhanced Physical Activity – Enjoy a more active lifestyle with greater ease and comfort.
- Better Clothing Fit – Achieve a more balanced body proportion for improved wardrobe options.
- Boost in Confidence – Feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
Breast Reduction Techniques
- Vertical (Lollipop) Reduction – Removes excess tissue and reshapes the breast for a natural contour with a scar around the areola and vertically down the breast. This surgery works for removal of smaller amounts of tissue.
- Anchor Reduction – This technique creates a dramatic result with a complete reshaping of the breast. Not only does it centralize and elevate the breast, also there is powerful contouring of the “side boob.”
What to Expect from Breast Reduction Portland OR Surgery
- Consultation – After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Tina Jenq listens to your concerns and offers treatment options. She also estimates the amount of weight in reduction based upon your aesthetic and functional goals.
- Surgery – Typically, patients go home the same day after an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia.
- No drains – Quilting sutures prevent accumulation of excess fluid, so drains are almost never needed with surgery. In addition, quilting sutures reset the position and contour the breast and chest wall to prevent recurrence of excess fullness of the sides of the chest.
- Recovery – Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks, with full results developing over several months.
- Results – Lighter, proportionate breasts allow you to move with ease with relief from pain
What Sets Our Practice Apart
Choosing a surgeon is an important decision—and we believe you deserve to know who will be performing your procedure. At our clinic, Dr. Jenq performs every part of the surgery herself, from start to finish. Unlike some practices where surgical tasks may be delegated to trainees, residents, or surgical technicians, your care will never be passed off to someone else. This direct attention not only supports safety and consistency but ensures that your experience is truly individualized.
Another key benefit of our approach is that we do not use surgical drains. Many patients are relieved to learn this, as drains can be uncomfortable and can prolong recovery. With advanced quilting suture techniques, Dr. Jenq minimizes fluid buildup to support a smoother healing process—without the need for external drains.
Additionally, all of our surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures, meaning you’ll go home the same day. Most surgeries are completed in four hours, and patients can typically return to light daily activities within a week. We understand the importance of clear recovery expectations and are here to support you through every phase.
What is the breast reduction cost?
- The cost of breast reduction surgery changes depending on whether you’re going through insurance or paying out of pocket.
- If you’re going through insurance, we’ll first help you get prior authorization. If it’s approved, our office will then work with your insurance provider to give you a detailed estimate based on your specific coverage.
- If you choose self-pay, breast reduction costs on average around $12,000. But this can change based on your unique needs and the length of surgery. We will walk you through the process and answer any questions you might have!
