Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed to remove excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. Many women choose this procedure to relieve physical discomfort such as neck, shoulder, or back pain, as well as to restore confidence in their appearance.
At Couture Plastic Surgery in Jacksonville, FL, we take a compassionate, personalized approach to help patients feel lighter, more confident, and more comfortable in their daily lives. Dr. Ashley Jordan takes the time to understand what feels comfortable and beautiful to you, then develops a personalized surgical plan that reduces excess tissue while preserving natural shape and proportion. The goal is simple: to help you move through life with greater comfort and confidence.

Immediate reduction in breast size with continued improvement as swelling resolves.
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. While the procedure improves appearance, many patients choose breast reduction because they want relief from the physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
During surgery, the breasts are reshaped, excess tissue is removed, and the nipples and areolas are repositioned to create a more youthful, proportionate appearance. If the areolas have become enlarged over time, they can often be reduced as part of the procedure.
Every breast reduction is tailored to the individual. Some patients want a modest reduction that maintains fullness, while others prefer a more significant change. Your surgical plan is built around your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal goals rather than a predetermined cup size.
No two breast reductions are the same. Your procedure will be designed based on your unique anatomy, symptoms, and desired breast size. Our surgeons focus on achieving both physical relief and aesthetic harmony, ensuring your results look natural and balanced.
We utilize advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and preserve nipple sensation whenever possible. During your consultation, we will review your medical history, evaluate your goals, and design a customized surgical plan for you.
Breast reduction surgery involves reshaping and lifting the breasts while removing excess tissue and skin. The goal is to achieve a natural, symmetrical contour that complements your body frame. Breast reduction surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical facility and lasts approximately two to four hours, depending on the extent of the reduction. Before surgery, Dr. Jordan carefully marks the breasts while you are standing to guide the planned reduction and ensure balanced, symmetrical results.
Once surgery begins, carefully placed incisions allow excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to be removed while preserving the natural blood supply to the nipple whenever possible. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a lighter, firmer breast contour, and the nipples and areolas are repositioned to better match the new breast shape. If appropriate, enlarged areolas may also be reduced.
After the breasts have been carefully sculpted and symmetry confirmed, the incisions are closed with meticulous attention to detail. A supportive surgical bra is placed to protect the surgical area, and you'll return home the same day with personalized recovery instructions and scheduled follow-up appointments.
During your surgery:
Most patients can return home the same day, with a detailed recovery plan tailored to ensure comfort and optimal healing.
Breast reduction is commonly recommended for patients whose breast size causes ongoing physical discomfort or limits daily activities. The procedure can help relieve chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain, bra strap grooving, skin irritation beneath the breasts, poor posture, and discomfort during exercise.
Many women also choose breast reduction because they feel their breasts are out of proportion with the rest of their body or because they have difficulty finding clothing that fits comfortably. By reducing breast size and improving shape, the procedure addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns.
Because every procedure is customized, your results are designed to reflect your goals. Whether you want a subtle reduction or a more dramatic change, Dr. Jordan works closely with you to create a breast shape that feels natural and harmonious with your body.
Benefits of Breast Reduction may include:
For many women, breast reduction is life-changing because the benefits extend well beyond appearance. Patients often notice relief from chronic pain almost immediately after surgery, along with greater comfort during exercise, improved posture, and easier movement throughout the day. The cosmetic improvements can be just as meaningful. Clothing often fits better, bras become more comfortable, and patients frequently feel more balanced in their proportions. Many also appreciate the ability to participate in activities they once avoided because of discomfort or self-consciousness.
You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if large breasts cause physical discomfort, interfere with your daily activities, or leave you feeling out of proportion with your body. Many patients seek surgery after years of living with chronic pain, skin irritation, or difficulty finding supportive clothing.

Most patients experience significant relief from physical discomfort within days of surgery. Swelling and mild soreness are normal and gradually subside over the following weeks.
You can typically return to light activities within one week and resume normal routines within four to six weeks. As your healing progresses, your breasts will settle into their new, natural shape, and scars will continue to fade over time.
As swelling gradually subsides, your breasts soften and settle into their new shape. Attending follow-up appointments and following your personalized recovery instructions help promote proper healing and the best possible outcome. Our team provides ongoing follow-up care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction at every stage of recovery.
Patients notice an immediate reduction in breast size following surgery, but the final results continue to develop as swelling decreases over the next several months. As healing progresses, the breasts settle into a softer, more natural shape, and incision lines gradually continue to fade.
Breast reduction provides long-lasting results for most patients. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your outcome, although natural aging, pregnancy, and hormonal changes may continue to influence breast shape over time. Many women say the greatest result isn't simply having smaller breasts. It's enjoying everyday activities with greater comfort, confidence, and freedom.
Choosing breast reduction is a personal decision, and the experience should feel just as individualized as the outcome.
At Couture Plastic Surgery, you'll receive attentive, one-on-one care from your first consultation through every stage of recovery.

Our boutique practice is built around meaningful relationships, thoughtful communication, and exceptional attention to detail. From your initial visit to your final follow-up, you'll experience the warmth, accessibility, and personalized service that define the Couture Plastic Surgery experience.
