What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. For many women, the size and weight of their breasts cause daily challenges—ranging from neck and back pain to irritation, poor posture, and emotional distress.

Dr. Batra’s approach to breast reduction in San Diego focuses on both aesthetic harmony and physical relief. He carefully tailors each procedure to preserve the natural contour of the breasts while restoring balance to the body’s proportions. The goal is not only to improve comfort but also to create results that look beautiful and natural from every angle.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

The ideal candidate for breast reduction in San Diego is someone who experiences physical or emotional discomfort due to overly large breasts. Common symptoms include chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain; difficulty finding supportive clothing; and self-consciousness about breast size.

Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and not smoke. It’s also important to have realistic expectations about the procedure and understand that breast reduction is both a medical and aesthetic enhancement—it can relieve discomfort while improving proportion and confidence.

Many patients pursue breast reduction after pregnancy, significant weight changes, or years of persistent discomfort. During your consultation, Dr. Batra will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and design a surgical plan that meets your specific needs.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at Coastal Plastic Surgeons is an opportunity to discuss your goals and concerns in a supportive, welcoming environment. Dr. Batra will perform a detailed evaluation of your breast size, skin elasticity, and overall body proportions. He will also discuss your desired cup size, incision options, and the potential for combining your procedure with a breast lift for enhanced results.

By understanding your lifestyle and expectations, Dr. Batra ensures your breast reduction in San Diego is not only transformative but tailored to your anatomy and comfort. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of the procedure, recovery, and what to expect from your results.

“I traveled from the mountains outside of Aspen, Colorado to have explant surgery performed by Dr. Batra. I have been a patient of his for many years (he did not perform my implant surgery since he would have been in med school at the time), but he did operate on my face 10 years ago, removing skin cancer in two significant areas. Actually, much better than even I hoped for. For these reasons, I remain a loyal patient and advocate for his practice. His extensive knowledge, high level of skill, compassionate care, and, in my personal experience, extraordinary outcomes, deserve high praise and recognition.”

What to Expect During Your Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about two to four hours, depending on the extent of the reduction. Dr. Batra begins by making incisions around the areola and along the natural breast fold, allowing him to remove excess tissue and fat while reshaping the remaining structure.

The areolas are often repositioned higher on the breast for a lifted, youthful look. In some cases, liposuction may be used to refine the contour and ensure smooth, natural transitions. Once the desired size and shape are achieved, Dr. Batra carefully closes the incisions with fine sutures to minimize scarring.

Every breast reduction in San Diego performed at Coastal Plastic Surgeons is customized to the patient’s needs. Whether your goal is moderate reduction or a more dramatic change, Dr. Batra’s artistry ensures balanced, natural-looking results that complement your body.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from breast reduction surgery is straightforward, though it’s important to follow all post-operative instructions to promote healing. Most patients return home the same day as surgery. Swelling and tenderness are normal during the first week and gradually subside over the following weeks. Dr. Batra will provide a supportive garment to help minimize swelling and encourage your new contours to settle properly. Most patients can resume non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks, though exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about four to six weeks.

The results of breast reduction in San Diego are visible immediately and continue to improve as swelling decreases. Many patients report significant relief from back and shoulder pain, better posture, and greater ease in finding clothing that fits comfortably. The final outcome is smaller, lighter, and naturally shaped breasts that align beautifully with your frame. Scars will fade over time with proper care and protection from sun exposure. The emotional benefits—such as confidence and physical freedom—often last a lifetime.

How Much Does Breast Reduction Cost?

The cost of breast reduction varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, surgical time, and individual goals. Because each surgery is tailored to the patient, exact pricing is provided after a personal consultation. At Coastal Plastic Surgeons, we offer flexible financing options through PatientFi, CareCredit, and ALPHAEON Credit to make breast reduction in San Diego accessible to every patient seeking relief and renewed confidence.
