Reduction mammaplasty, or commonly known as breast reduction surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure aimed to decrease the size of overly large breasts. Traditional breast reduction surgery is often sought by individuals who experience physical discomfort, such as back and neck pain, skin irritation, and posture problems, due to the size of their breasts. It’s also considered by those who feel self-conscious or face limitations in physical activities because of large, heavy breasts.
Vaser Lipo & Magic Tight® can be performed on the breast tissue to reduce the size of the breast. This procedure is done on a case-by-case basis, based on your starting point, goals, and expectations. The reduction is minor to moderate and will not correct any sagginess. The goal of Magic Tight® during this procedure is to prevent sagginess from the breast tissue removal by Vaser Lipo. It’s an alternative to a regular breast reduction, the scarring is minimal but only works for breasts that require a little bit of reduction and don’t have sagginess to start with.

At Natural Results AZ in Scottsdale, AZ, we ensure our patients are well-informed about the recovery process following a breast reduction procedure. Recovery is a crucial phase where proper care and precautions are vital for optimal results and comfort. After the surgery, for the first several weeks, we recommend the use of a compression or surgical bra to support and protect the breasts. This helps in reducing swelling and aids in the healing process.
Patients are typically able to return to work within 7 to 10 days post-surgery, depending on the nature of their job and their individual healing process. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting during this period. We advise patients to wait between 6 and 8 weeks before resuming physical activities like exercise, ensuring the body has adequate time to heal.
The breast reduction cost can vary based on several factors, including the expertise of our surgeons, the fees for our state-of-the-art surgical facility, anesthesia costs, and the specific needs of each procedure. The complexity of your individual surgery, the necessary post-operative care and garments, and the initial consultation fee all contribute to the overall cost. Additionally, while insurance coverage can sometimes offset a portion of the expense if the procedure is deemed medically necessary, this varies by case and provider.
At Natural Results AZ, patients can generally expect the cost range for breast reductions to be between $5,000 and $10,000, though this estimate may differ based on each patient’s unique situation. We prioritize providing our patients with skilled and experienced surgeons, ensuring the highest standards of safety and satisfaction, which is an essential factor in the overall cost of the procedure.
