What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
A breast reduction is an operation performed to lift, shape and reduce the breast. It can be performed for medical reasons such as neck or back pain as well as for cosmetic reasons such as large, hanging breasts.
Why Choose Larson Plastic Surgery?
Dr. Ethan Larson trained at one of the premiere plastic surgery training programs, Georgetown University in Washington, DC, under the guidance of some of the finest breast surgeons of our time. His artistry and attention to detail in breast surgery are a tribute to their skill and commitment to the finest education.
Dr. Larson is passionate not just about making breasts smaller, but about understanding your desires to bring your breasts into better alignment with your personal beauty goals. The final appearance of the breast is just as important as making them smaller.
Step 1: Anesthesia and Incision
We start with general anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout this surgery. Once we are sure that you’re comfortable, we make an incision in your breasts. Incision placements are generally determined during your consultation and will be made where you’ve approved.
Step 2: Tissue Removal and Breast Lift
Using advanced liposuction and other surgical techniques, Dr. Larson removes excess tissue and fat to reduce the size of your breasts. During this step, he also lifts the breasts, sometimes using an internal mesh bra to give your breasts internal support. He then repositions and reshapes your breasts to support your new contour. This gives you a natural, symmetrical new physique.
Step 3: Closing the Incision
Dr. Larson closes the incision, often using devices like Brijjit, which help to minimize scarring and healing issues. These noninvasive closures adhere to the skin using medical-grade acrylic pressure-sensitive materials, rather than staples or sutures. With the flexible, breathable material, you can expect a smooth recovery.

Is Breast Reduction Covered by Insurance?
When it is medically necessary, breast reduction surgery may be covered by insurance (out of network) or can be paid for with your HSA for FSA.
Other Breast Enhancement Options
Dr. Larson offers more than a breast reduction and lift. Women come to him for breast augmentation options like implants and fat grafting. He also performs breast reconstruction for women after their mastectomies or lumpectomies. These options include the use of silicone or saline implants to restore the shape of breasts, or DIEP flap reconstruction, which also serves as a belly cosmetic surgery, also known as a tummy tuck. No matter what kind of service you’re interested in, Dr. Larson personalizes your treatment to your unique goals and anatomy.
