Medically Necessary Breast Reduction Surgery

Medically necessary breast reduction surgery can relieve neck, shoulder and back strain caused by heavy breasts. Dr. Leonard Grossman uses a liposuction breast reduction, adding a periareolar lift when needed, to remove volume through tiny incisions without anchor-shaped scars while protecting nipple sensation. Surgery is outpatient at his fully accredited Brooklyn surgery center.

Our Breast Reduction Services

Breast reduction for women and men built on liposuction rather than large incisions, with a periareolar lift when needed.

Liposuction Breast Reduction

Excess breast volume is removed with precision liposuction through tiny incisions; many women lose 1 to 2 cup sizes, and many need little or no prescription pain medication.

Periareolar Breast Lift

Added after reduction when the nipple needs raising, using an incision only around the areola border that is often well concealed once healed.

Male Breast Reduction

Power-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction through a tiny incision, with no pressure garments and a return to work the next day.

Liposuction Breast Reduction

Relief Without Anchor Scars

Dr. Leonard Grossman’s breast reduction combines precision breast liposuction, strategic reshaping and, when needed, a periareolar lift, with minimal tissue trauma. Because large sections of tissue and skin are not routinely removed, scars stay small and discreet and nipple sensation is protected whenever possible. Surgery follows the practice standard of local anesthesia with advanced IV sedation (your plan is confirmed at consultation). Most patients resume light activity within a few days and their regular routine within one to two weeks. Recovery is designed for comfort, so you do not need bulky compression garments or heavy bandages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to decrease breast size?

There is no single honest number, because the cost of a breast reduction varies with where you have surgery and with your own anatomy: how much fatty tissue there is to remove, whether a periareolar lift is added and how much reshaping your breasts need. Dr. Grossman quotes each reduction individually after examining you, and your quote itemizes what is included. Surgery takes place in his outpatient center, so there is no hospital stay to pay for. Liposuction-based reductions are rarely covered by insurance, and financing options are available through Cherry and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
