How Is Breast Reduction Performed?
Dr. Dax has spent years refining his skills in plastic surgery. This allows him to approach each procedure as a “custom design,” combining the best techniques for the unique situation. Traditional methods may leave patients with an unnatural breast appearance or breasts that “bottom out” over time. By combining modern techniques to minimize scarring and preserve upper-breast fullness, Dr. Dax strives for long-lasting, beautiful results. He also often incorporates liposuction and breast lift procedures during breast reduction to assist in the sculpting process. Boston breast reduction patients turn to Dr. Dax because he delivers the right results for each individual’s body and lifestyle.
Breast Reduction Incisions
Dr. Dax uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and postoperative discomfort, customizing each incision pattern to match the patient’s breast anatomy, degree of reduction, and skin quality. His careful approach helps ensure well-placed incisions, smoother healing, and natural-looking results.
Common breast reduction incision options include:
-
Periareolar incision: A circular incision made around the edge of the areola. This approach is similar to the incision used for breast augmentation when placing implants through the areola. It is typically used for mild reductions or when the primary goal is lifting and reshaping the nipple-areolar complex.
-
Vertical (lollipop) incision: Extends around the areola and straight down to the breast crease. This option allows for moderate tissue removal and reshaping with less scarring than the traditional anchor pattern while providing more versatility than a periareolar approach.
-
Wise-pattern or anchor incision: Includes a periareolar incision, a vertical incision, and an additional horizontal incision along the breast fold. This technique is ideal for significant reductions or when extensive reshaping is needed, offering the greatest ability to remove tissue and correct sagging.
-
Horizontal incision: Placed along the natural breast crease, this incision may be used selectively for specific breast shapes or when additional lift is not required. It is less common but can be appropriate for certain reduction goals.
Dr. Dax will recommend the incision pattern that best suits your breast anatomy and aesthetic goals while prioritizing minimal visible scarring and an elegant, natural contour.

A Reputation Built on Results
How Long Is Recovery After Breast Reduction?
Patients wear a surgical support bra following the procedure to be worn for the first 2 weeks to help support the breasts and provide comfort.
Depending on the extent of the procedure, patients may need to spend a night in recovery. Within 2 weeks, you should be able to return to your daily activities. The breasts will settle into their new position and shape by around 3 months.
Dr. Dax and his staff will assist you throughout the recovery process to ensure all of your needs are met.
