Chicago Breast Reduction by Dr. David Dreyfuss
Breast reduction surgery or, reduction mammoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce breast size by removing excess skin, tissue, and fat from a woman’s breast. Patients with breasts that are too large for their body choose to have a breast reduction for relief from discomfort and to achieve a bust line more proportionate to their overall physique. Other common symptoms associated with oversized breasts are irritating indentations from bra straps; back, shoulder or neck pain; skeletal deformities, and breathing problems.
Patients who have had reduction mammoplasty enjoy smaller, lighter breasts with improved symmetry. Their breasts have a more pleasing contour and are in the correct proportion to the rest of their body. Reducing the size of their breasts allows the patient’s body to provide them greater support.
If you are considering breast reduction surgery, we would love to talk with you. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Dreyfuss has extensive experience in breast surgeries including breast reduction for residents of the greater Chicago area.

Before surgery, you may be asked to:
- Have certain lab tests performed
- Have a baseline mammogram
- Quit smoking for a specific amount of time before and after surgery
