Breast Reduction Surgery In Rockville
Breast size is a very personal preference for each patient and is influenced by overall physical stature, sense of style, and comfort.
If the size of your breasts does not align with the image of yourself, it is time to consider breast reduction surgery.
Breast Reduction Surgery is a procedure to reduce your breast size while also reshaping the breast tissue to improve breast shape and lifting the breasts back into place, as well as to reduce sagging. Many patients want to have breast reduction surgery for health and cosmetic reasons. This surgery can create a leaner, tighter silhouette, help you feel more comfortable in your body, and improve your health if your medical concerns are aggravated by large, heavy breasts.
Often, our patients feel self-conscious when their breasts begin to droop, deflate, or lose their youthful shape. Dr. Yang offers a personalized treatment plan after evaluating changes in your breast size and contour to restore youthful perkiness to your bust and help you regain your self-confidence.
What is Breast Reduction?
If you have breasts that are too big for your frame and are experiencing physical issues such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as experiencing difficulty with everyday activities, you could feel that your life is restricted. Extremely large breasts can make it hard to find clothing that fits, and can lead to mental health issues. Please consider calling us today and scheduling a life-changing consultation.
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, removes fat, breast tissue, and excess skin from your breasts. For those patients with large, uncomfortable breasts, breast reduction surgery can help stop the back pain, skin sagging, and improve their outward appearance. Breast reduction surgery might also help improve self-image, and post-surgery, give our patients the incentive to take part in physical activities.
Both breast surgery reduction and a breast lift can be great options for patients wishing to reduce or change the appearance of their breasts. Both are also very effective surgeries for patients who want to refine the size or shape of their breasts.
So, the question is which one should you choose? Answer: this depends on your personal goals and expectations.
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to make your breasts smaller and lighter. A breast lift reshapes and repositions your existing breast tissue—only minimal amounts of breast tissue are removed during a breast lift, and usually only done so tocreate a more symmetrical result between both of your breasts.
During your consultation, Dr. Bennett C. Yang will evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and goals to determine the best approach to restore or rejuvenate your breasts to give you the beautiful results you are looking for.
Where Is The Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Having breast reduction surgery with Dr. Yang is safe, as he performs all his surgeries at a fully licensed, accredited outpatient plastic surgery center. The procedure takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete. A breast reduction can include adding a breast lift at the same time.
Some reductions are covered by insurance. Most patients take a week off from work to recover. A consultation with Dr. Yang can help answer any questions you may have about breast reduction surgery.
Recovery After Breast Reduction Surgery
1 month of no exercise. 2 months of light exercise only.

The results of your breast reduction surgery will be created according to your personal goals and body type. Dr. Bennett C. Yang’s goal is to create new breasts that bring out your femininity and match your body’s existing proportions. Your breast reduction will look natural and compliment your shape.
Before your procedure, he will walk you through everything you can expect from your surgery so you have a detailed idea of what to expect from your results.
Breast Reduction Questions
Patients Ask Dr. Yang
What Is A Breast Reduction With Lift?
All breast reductions are also breast lifts. This surgery not only reduces the size and weight of the breast but also reshapes the breast back up into a more youthful, perky profile.
Will A Breast Reduction Leave Scars?
Yes, all breast reductions leave scars on the breast. Typically, around the nipple, under the breast, and a vertical line connecting the two. The scars are permanent, but with careful technique and good scar aftercare, they often fade into faint lines that are difficult to see.
Can Chest Exercises Lift Or Reduce The Size Of My Breasts?
Exercise cannot reduce breast size, but weight loss often can. In cases of massive weight loss, the breasts typically reduce in size, but often have excess hanging skin left over, which can require a breast lift to remove the excess skin.
What Age Should I Be To Consider Breast Reduction Surgery?
There’s no strict age requirement for a breast reduction, but typically, patients wait until they are 18 and are fully developed before undergoing this procedure.
How Will My Nipples Be Affected By Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) significantly affects the nipples and the surrounding areola (the pigmented area around the nipple), but modern techniques aim to preserve function, sensation, and appearance whenever possible.
Changes vary based on the amount of tissue removed, the surgical technique (e.g., pedicle methods that keep the nipple attached vs. rare free nipple grafts), your anatomy, and individual healing.
Positioning and Repositioning – The nipples are almost always repositioned higher on the breast to create a more youthful, lifted appearance during the reshaping process.
In standard techniques (e.g., vertical/lollipop or anchor/Wise pattern incisions), the nipple remains attached to the underlying breast tissue (a “pedicle”), preserving its blood supply and most nerves. This attachment keeps the nipple “alive” and helps maintain sensation in the majority of cases.
Rarely, with extremely large breasts requiring massive reduction, a free nipple graft may be needed: the nipple-areola complex is removed and reattached as a graft. This usually results in permanent loss of sensation and potential changes in appearance/texture.
