My patients who have breast reductions are among the happiest, I agree—

Breast reduction is often misunderstood and mislabeled as purely cosmetic, but for many patients, the decision to take the plunge on this procedure is deeply rooted in physical discomfort and quality of life concerns.

I see these referrals frequently, surgery can make a big difference-

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, experienced the sharpest growth of any procedure among male patients, who got 11 percent more gynecomastia surgeries in 2024 than in 2023.

Capsular contracture is a condition that can occur after breast augmentation. It develops when the scar tissue that naturally forms around the breast implant tightens, making the breast feel firmer or changing its shape.

The good news? Capsular contracture is treatable! 🙌 While complications like this are rare, it’s always important to stay informed and talk to your ASPS Member Surgeon if you notice any changes. Being proactive helps ensure the best possible outcome.

I definitely counsel patients on this- still csn be a great option for some!

A new study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reveals that women undergoing breast-conserving therapy or radiation therapy may experience progressive breast volume loss over time, with an average of approximately 20% reduction within the first year.

Understanding these changes can help guide patient expectations and assist reconstructive planning after breast cancer treatment.
