Led by Dr. George Marosan, this procedure addresses issues such as back and neck pain, skin irritation, and restricted physical activity caused by overly large breasts. Dr. Marosan’s expert approach ensures beautifully proportionate results that enhance your overall figure while improving your quality of life.
Overview
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that relieves the physical and emotional burdens caused by overly large breasts. If you’re experiencing discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or difficulty with physical activities, this surgery can help. Performed by Dr. Marosan, the procedure removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, resulting in smaller, better-shaped breasts that are proportionate to your body.
Benefits:
- Significant relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Improved ability to participate in physical activities
- Enhanced body proportions and overall figure
- Reduction in skin irritation and rashes under the breasts
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
- Better-fitting clothing and more wardrobe options
- Reduced strain on bra straps, preventing shoulder grooves
- Minimized risk of future health issues related to large breasts
Visualize Your Results
Before your breast reduction surgery, you can see a preview of your potential results using the advanced Vectra 3D system. This technology captures detailed, three-dimensional images of your body, allowing Dr. Marosan to create a personalized simulation of your post-surgery appearance. You’ll be able to explore different outcomes, helping you feel confident in your decision and excited about your new look. Vectra 3D ensures you have a clear understanding of the potential changes and how they will enhance your overall figure.
Incision Options:
Vertical T
The Vertical T, also known as the anchor incision, is a common choice for breast reduction surgeries that require significant reshaping. This incision is made around the areola, extends vertically down to the breast crease, and includes a horizontal incision along the fold. This allows for substantial tissue removal and reshaping.
Lollipop
The Lollipop incision, also known as the vertical scar technique, is a less invasive option that minimizes scarring while still achieving excellent results. This incision circles the areola and extends vertically down to the breast crease, resembling a lollipop shape. This incision is ideal for moderate reductions and ensures minimal scarring.
During Surgery
During your breast reduction surgery, Dr. Marosan will begin by administering intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery takes place in our AAAASF-accredited surgical suite and typically lasts 2 to 4 hours.
Dr. Marosan will start by making the necessary incisions, either in a vertical T (anchor) pattern or using the lollipop technique, depending on the degree of reduction required and your specific needs. Once the incisions are made, Dr. Marosan carefully removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. He ensures that the blood supply to the nipple-areola complex is maintained to prevent any loss of sensation or discoloration. Liposuction may be used to contour the breasts further and correct any asymmetry. After breast reshaping, the remaining skin is tightened, and the nipples are repositioned for a natural, lifted appearance. Finally, the incisions are closed.
After Surgery
After your breast reduction surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are normal side effects. Dr. Marosan will recommend wearing a supportive bra for several weeks to protect your newly shaped breasts.
You can typically return to work within 5-10 days, but it’s important to avoid strenuous activities for 6-8 weeks. The results are usually visible immediately, with your breasts appearing smaller and more proportionate. However, nipple sensitivity will gradually return over the first year.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Will the Results Last?
Yes, breast reduction provides long-term results, but maintaining them depends on your lifestyle. Significant weight gain, natural aging, and gravity can impact your breasts over time. To keep your results lasting, it’s important to follow a healthy routine and maintain a stable weight.
Will My Areolas Be Smaller?
If you have large breasts, you may also have larger areolas. During breast reduction surgery, Dr. Marosan often includes an areola reduction to ensure they are proportional to your new breast size. The excess skin around the areola is trimmed as part of the procedure.
How Much Will My Breasts Be Reduced?
The reduction varies based on your initial breast size and your desired outcome. Typically, patients experience a reduction of one to two cup sizes, but this is customized during your consultation with Dr. Marosan.
Will I Have Scars?
While scarring is a natural part of any surgery, Dr. Marosan uses advanced techniques, such as the lollipop or vertical T incisions, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars will fade, and with proper care, they can become less noticeable. There are no scars on the cleavage.
