Breast Reduction in Los Angeles

What it is

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to relieve physical discomfort and improve proportion. Many patients consider it for neck, back, or shoulder strain as well as for appearance. Your plan is individualized to your anatomy and goals.

Is this for you?

Breast reduction may be a fit if you:

• Experience neck, back, or shoulder discomfort related to breast size
• Feel your breast size limits activity or doesn’t fit your frame
• Are in good general health with realistic goals
• Are a non-smoker (or willing to stop)

• A national instructor who trains other surgeons in VASER liposuction and Renuvion techniques.

What to expect

1. Consultation. Dr. Satey assesses your symptoms, anatomy, and goals to determine an appropriate plan.

3. Recovery. A gradual return to activity over several weeks is typical; your specific timeline is reviewed beforehand.
