Relief and well-being replace pain and discomfort

Everyone should feel both comfortable and healthy. And for some, this means reducing their breast size. If your breasts are putting a strain on your body, causing health concerns, or unwanted attention, our breast reduction solutions can change your life. Contact your primary care physician through MyChart and ask for an in-person or virtual consultation to see if surgery is right for you.

What does Corewell Health provide? Specialists.

Our specialist surgical team will meet with you to discuss your goals and select a surgical plan that meets them. You may simply opt for breast reduction surgery, or you might decide a breast lift is also necessary.

Rest assured we will use the appropriate surgical techniques and resources to perform your surgery, which will deliver your desired outcome.

Breast reduction benefits

  • Less back and neck pain
  • Improved posture
  • Reduced skin irritation
  • Enhanced self-confidence

Breast reduction for men

Male breast reduction, known as gynecomastia surgery, aims to reduce excess breast tissue in men. Our surgeons can remove this tissue and craft an improved chest contour based on your goal.

Because treatment is unique to each patient, we will discuss treatment in detail during your initial consultation and choose the surgical plan that fits your needs.

Following the procedure

You will likely need two weeks of recovery time after surgery, and you may experience some pain or discomfort during the first few days. We will also schedule follow-up visits to guide you through scar management, activity restrictions, and answer any questions you may have.
