Breast Reduction
Relief, Comfort, and Confidence—Redesigned
Overly large breasts can be both physically painful and emotionally limiting. Breast reduction surgery is a transformative procedure that not only reshapes and resizes the breasts but also relieves neck, back, and shoulder discomfort—restoring your confidence and quality of life.
A ULTIMATE Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Huntington, WV, Dr. Ben Moosavi provides personalized breast reduction surgery rooted in structural harmony and refined aesthetic results. His dual board certification and compassionate approach ensure that your outcome is as functional as it is beautiful.
What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. The procedure also lifts and reshapes the breasts for a rejuvenated silhouette.
This procedure:
Relieve neck and back pain
Eliminate painful bra strap grooving
Improve posture and activity levels
Enhance Breast symmetry/position
Boost comfort and self-image
What Happens During Surgery?
- Performed under general anesthesia, breast reduction typically takes 2–4 hours. Common incision patterns include:
- Lollipop (around the nipple and vertically down the breast)
- Inverted “T” (around the nipple, vertically down, and along the inframammary fold)
Dr. Moosavi carefully removes excess tissue, lifts and reshapes the breast, and repositions the nipple-areolar complex for a natural, youthful result.
Is a Breast Reduction For Me?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have large, heavy breasts causing physical discomfort
- Feel limited in your activity, clothing options, or self-confidence
- Experience asymmetry or skin irritation under the breasts
- Are at a stable weight and in good health

Recovery and Results
Most patients return to work or light activity within 1–2 weeks, with physical activity restricted for 4–6 weeks. A surgical bra is worn for support during the healing process. Scars fade significantly over time and are placed to remain discreet beneath clothing and swimwear.
You can expect:
Smaller, lighter, lifted breasts
Relief from chronic pain or discomfort
Improved posture and ease of movement
Long-lasting aesthetic and functional results

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover my breast reduction?
Many insurance plans cover breast reduction when it’s medically necessary. We can assist with documentation and pre-authorization.
Will I lose nipple sensation?
Most patients retain sensation, though some temporary or permanent changes are possible depending on the extent of the reduction.
Can I breastfeed after surgery?
Some patients can breastfeed after reduction, but it’s not guaranteed. Dr. Moosavi can tailor the procedure if future breastfeeding is a priority.
Will the breasts stay lifted over time?
Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and good support, but the natural aging process will still occur.
How much smaller will I be?
This varies by individual goals and anatomy. Dr. Moosavi will work with you to find a size that relieves symptoms and matches your body.
