If you’re someone who suffers from back and neck pain or finds it challenging to participate in physical activities due to the size of your breasts, breast reduction may pose many benefits for you. By providing smaller, more proportionate breasts that fit your body, a breast reduction procedure can lead to pain relief, more effortless movement, and an increase in self-confidence.
At Hamptons Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tracey Pfeifer is proud to offer the breast reduction procedure to patients looking to reduce their breast size.
What Is a Breast Reduction?
Also known as reduction mammaplasty, a breast reduction procedure will remove fat and breast tissue from the breasts to reduce their size. By doing so, the difficulties that come with enlarged breasts, such as back pain, will be eliminated and allow patients to enjoy a more active, comfortable, and confident lifestyle.
Why Get a Breast Reduction?
While some patients prefer to increase their breast size, it can also benefit patients to decrease it. Not only can large breasts make some people feel self-conscious, but they can also lead to health issues such as back or neck pain.
If your breasts have become an issue for you when it comes to chronic pain, physical activity or exercise, and even finding the right clothing, then breast reduction surgery may be beneficial to you.
While each patient’s needs are unique, common reasons that women consider a mammoplasty include:
- Problems finding clothing that fits
- Physical problems such as back or shoulder pain
- Mobility issues that make it hard to enjoy exercise or other physical activities
- Post issues that result from the excess weight of large breasts
- Irritation or chafing from skin sagging
- Skin infection from excess skin in the breast area
Dr. Pfeifer is always happy to discuss breast reduction options with women of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’re hoping to reduce pain or simply feel more comfortable with your body, we’ll collaborate to develop the perfect treatment plan for you.

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Pfeifer has been providing exceptional care to women in the New York area for 25 years. Drawing from this experience, she takes into account each patient’s issues, needs, and aesthetic goals when it comes to customizing their breast size, appearance, and overall procedure.
Step 1: Consultation & Examination
Dr. Pfeifer will begin by welcoming you to sit down for a consultation so she can get to know you and the experience or issues you have with your breast size, as well as your goals for breast reduction. She’ll also get to know your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and advise you on the best techniques for you.
Step 2: Breast Reduction Surgery
From pre- to post-op, Dr. Pfeifer and her staff will go the extra mile to ensure that you receive exceptional care. On the day of your surgery, Dr. Pfeifer will prioritize your safety and comfort while reducing your breast size and sculpting your bust into an improved, natural size and shape.
Step 3: Recovering from Breast Reduction Surgery
While some patients may be discharged on the same day as their surgery, others may need 24 - 48 hours before going home. Either way, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the length of your stay and beyond.
Dr. Pfeifer will ensure that you understand how to redress any bandages that may be needed throughout your recovery and prescribe any pain medications necessary.
