Richmond friends, if heavy, painful, or disproportionate breasts are holding you back, this breast reduction FAQ is for you💜

In my recent blog, I share 10 questions I hear most about breast reduction, so you can feel informed, supported, and confident about next steps.

A sneak peek at what you’ll learn:
• How many cup sizes you can typically reduce
• Why timing matters if you’re planning weight loss, and when it still makes sense to proceed
• What combining procedures (like tummy tuck or liposuction) looks like in a single surgery
• How common techniques affect future mammograms, and why sharing your surgical history is key

Our plastic surgery team pairs surgical expertise with a compassionate, patient-centered approach, helping you choose the plan that fits your body, goals, and lifestyle!
