Breast Reduction Considerations
During your Breast Reduction consultation with Jonathan Heistein, M.D., he will answer questions you may have about the procedure or treatment and will discuss any safety concerns related to the surgery.
Breast augmentation involving implants is one of the most common procedures performed by Dr. Jonathan Heistein.
For most, breast reduction surgery is aimed at reducing the volume of the breast to alleviate such ailments as neck and back pain, shoulder pain and rashes beneath the breasts. For others, it is a way to better fit into their clothes and improve self confidence. Either way, reduction patients are some of the most satisfied patients in plastic surgery.
As with the breast lift, a breast reduction may use either a lolly-pop incision or, more commonly, an anchor incision. Occasionally, breast reduction may be performed with liposuction alone. Recovery is about 2 weeks.

Patients experiencing health and lifestyle issues due to their breast size are the best candidates for a breast reduction. Patients must be in good overall health for this procedure, since poor health can increase the likelihood of complications during surgery.
Patients who smoke must quit prior to the procedure date and must avoid smoking during recovery. If the patient is still breastfeeding, they can discuss their options when they come in for a consultation. Patients should maintain realistic expectations in terms of results.
Before patients can get a breast reduction, they will need to schedule a consultation to get more information about the procedure. Their breasts will be examined, and details about their medical history will be discussed.
The surgeon will go over the steps involved in breast reduction surgery, from preparation to the healing process. Patients are encouraged to ask questions during the consultation. Once a surgical plan has been developed, the procedure date will be set.
The cost of a breast reduction can depend on several factors, all of which can be discussed during the consultation. The specific techniques employed can affect the price, as can the total time needed to perform the surgery.

Hello Dr. Heistein,
I am the mother of one of your patients, LM. I just wanted you to know what a difference you have made in her life. Just to refresh your memory, she had a breast reduction in May. She loves her new self! Soooo many times I have sat with her through complaints and tears until the day finally came that “she” was not scared and willing to have this done. At the age of 24, she is now able to wear those “cute clothes” she longed to wear. This surgery has reduced her neck, back and shoulder pain.
Thank you for your help, time and patience….and your staff as well.
