Contact UsWhat is a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure to reduce the size of the breasts. The procedure can be performed with a number of different techniques, each designed to optimize results for the individual patient. The general idea is to remove excess breast tissue and reshape the breast into a natural form. Las Vegas, NV board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Christopher Khorsandi, offers breast reduction surgery for patients who have heavy, large breasts. This surgery can greatly improve their quality of life and allow them to become more mobile, wear tighter fitting clothing, and feel confident and self-assured.
Is Breast Reduction For Me?
Breast reduction surgery is performed for both medical and cosmetic reasons. The goal is to create a smaller, more pleasing shape. A woman may choose to undergo breast reduction surgery for a variety of reasons. These include chronic back and neck pain, hygiene or self-consciousness about body image. Some women also suffer from painful rashes that develop under the breasts. Many of these patients have tried unsuccessfully to reduce their discomfort with pain medications, physical therapy, and special bras. If the breasts are too large, a surgical reduction is often the only way to alleviate symptoms.
VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
Stop looking for the best plastic surgeon because you just landed on Dr. Christopher Khorsandi and found the ELITE. I cannot put into short words how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Khorsandi and his incredible team for my breast augmentation revision. Had I found him sooner I would’ve never had to have a revision in the first place. From the moment I sent my inquiry for a consultation to the day I stepped into his office I just knew I was making the best decision. I expressed my concerns to Dr. Khorsandi and he knew exactly what needed to be done without hesitation or question. The trust was immediate so I moved forward with scheduling the revision. At pre-op everything was solidified and bloodwork was done to make sure I was in good health to even have the procedure which wasn’t something my previous surgeon did. Fast forward to surgery day, check in was seamless and I was in the operating room before I knew it. With my revision Dr. Khorsandi had to repair my pockets and add a Galaflex internal mesh to prevent them from bottoming out again and falling into my armpits. With all of this there was certainly more discomfort this time around but it was worth it in the end. My insecurity is gone and my confidence is through the roof. So I just want to thank Dr. Khorsandi, Patricia, Sara, Yadira, Tina, Melanie, and everyone on his team for all they have done. I’ve now done Dysport and Laser Tattoo removal with them because they are WORTH IT. Now, I just want to add that when I came to write the review I noticed some recent negative reviews that are just completely absurd. Most of which come from people who have only left negative reviews wherever they go. One in specific left negative reviews on multiple plastic surgeons in the valley so if you’re reading this I hope you’re grown enough to understand that there are malicious people everywhere who attack businesses behind keyboards and have never stepped foot in this office. Make the call for your consultation because you will not regret it and you'll see for yourself that you're in the best hands.
Been a patient since 2020. My experience with Dr K (and the entire team at VIP) has been so positive that I come here all the way from Massachusetts. Whether we are touching up my filler or undergoing surgery (ive had incredible results with breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, face/neck lift, and upper bleph) Doc will always be straightforward about being realistic with expectations, its easy to get carried away and expect him to perform mircales lol. I suggest anyone interested in getting work done.. try to be as specific as possible with what your desired outcome is, that way you can learn the most upfront and there wont be any surprises in the end. I noticed some of the negative reviews are from people that have never even stepped foot in the office, its like they just saw an article and decided to dogpile, how is that fair? Try having some perspective and understanding before spreading negativity.

I went to Dr Khorsandi for a Breast Augmentation with silicone implants and i am so so happy with the outcome! Everything was done so professionally and quickly with minimal stress. His team at his office and Surgical center were amazing! So nice and caring for me throughout the whole process. Only one week post op and could say nothing but positive things overall. Thanks Doc!
I had breast augmentation revision in June 2024. The results are incredible. I researched the entire country before deciding to go with Dr. K . It was worth the trip from Texas. After. nursing 4 kids, and 15 year old implants I was thinking I would need a lift (other surgeons also said I would ) but he was able to give me perfect breasts without one. Now 5 months later I can’t believe these are my boobs. They are literally perfect . Also the staff is amazing and the surgery center treats you like a princess . 10/10 recommend if you are need breast implants or revision . Thank you VIP plastic surgery.

Your Initial Consultation
The breast reduction consultation with Dr. Khorsandi will take approximately 45 minutes, and will require a detailed history and physical exam. Dr. Khorsandi will address how the breasts have affected the quality of life for the patient, and goals for surgery will be discussed. During this exam, Dr. Khorsandi will perform the following:
- Current cup size will be recorded.
- The width of the breasts will be measured.
- The skin will be examined for scars or stretch marks.
- The size, shape and position of the nipple will be noted.
- The breasts will be examined for any masses or irregularities.
- The amount of tissue to be removed will be assessed.
- Photographs will be taken to help document the process.
Surgical Approach
There are several different approaches to breast reduction surgery. While the technique used may vary, each surgery will involve both skin and tissue reduction. The pattern of skin removal and tissue reduction will be determined based on the amount and size of breast tissue to be removed. Techniques include vertical breast reduction, wise pattern rest reduction, and breast reduction using liposuction.
Vertical Pattern Reduction
Women who have a small to moderate amount of excess breast tissue may benefit from having a vertical scar breast reduction. In this type of surgery, the incision is made around the nipple and down the central part of the breast. Through this incision the breast tissue in the middle of the breast is removed and the excess skin is removed to tighten the breast envelope. This type of reduction is sometimes referred to as having a lollipop type scar because the incision goes around the nipple and down. The advantage to this type of surgery is that it eliminates the scar that goes horizontally underneath the breast. Not all patients are candidates for vertical pattern breast reduction. Patients with large to extremely large breasts will need to have a wise pattern breast reduction.
Wise Pattern Reduction
The Wise pattern is one of the oldest types of breast reductions performed. The scar is in the form of an anchor in which there is an incision made around the nipple, down the central part of the breast, and across from side to side underneath the breast. The name, Wise pattern, comes from the surgeon who developed the technique many years ago and the technique has stood the test of time. The reduction allows for the strong lifting of the breast tissue with a reduction of both the skin and excess breast mass.
Liposuction Reduction
Liposuction is a relatively newer technique for breast reduction, which uses smaller incisions, and the tumescent liposuction technique to remove the fatty parts of the breast tissue without the need for significant lifting. This technique can be used in both men and women. Patients with good skin tone and elasticity can expect contracture of the breast tissue after liposuction. This technique is reserved for only select female patients who are candidates based on slightly oversized breasts and good skin quality. In men, liposuction is often combined with glandular excision to remove hard glandular tissue characteristic of gynecomastia.

Learn MoreWhat to Expect
Breast reduction surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery usually takes about 2 to 4 hours. During the recovery, the breast may initially appear to be very constricted and either cone shaped or high. This is a normal part of the postoperative process and the breasts will settle over the course of the next 3 to 4 weeks. The scars will soften over the course of 6-8 months. Many women often comment on the immediate relief that they experience from back and neck pain following breast reduction surgery. Furthermore, patients benefit from improved self-esteem with the ability to wear normal clothing appropriate for their body type.
Expected Cost
The average cost for breast reduction surgery is $8500. Patients with larger breasts have tendencies to experience physical problems, which sometimes allows this surgery to be covered by medical insurance. In order to apply for insurance coverage, Dr. Khorsandi will write a letter to your insurance carrier requesting preauthorization. This will require your medical history, as well as details that are relevant to the surgical case. Photographs of the breasts are helpful for obtaining approval and may be included with permission. It often takes several weeks and up to several months to obtain authorization from the insurance carrier.
Breast Reduction FAQs
Will Results Last?
Breast reduction is a long-term solution for patients who are affected with excessively large breasts. In cases when there is significant weight gain, the results may be compromised just like any cosmetic procedure that modifies body shape. Naturally, aging and gravity will take their toll over time and will still affect the breasts with or without the reduction. It is important to maintain a good health routine so that the enhancement lasts for a long time.
Smaller Areola?
For women with larger breasts, the areola is also excessively large. In a breast reduction surgery, an areola reduction is also considered. As an incision is made surrounding the areola, the excess skin will also be trimmed so that it is proportional to the breasts’ new shape.
How Much Reduction?
This varies depending on the doctor’s initial evaluation and the patient’s preference. Often, the reduction results in a cup or two smaller from the original breast size.
What About Scarring?
With any procedure incisions will heal with varying degree of scar tissue. Generally the scarring around the breast is minimal and several steps can be taken to help improve the appearance of scars. Dr. Khorsandi recommends silicone sheeting be applied to the incisions once the incisions have fully healed, approximately 10 the 14 days after surgery. It is especially important to avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure to the scars for at least six months postoperatively. T-shirts and bathing suits provide some protection however if you plan on being in the sun Dr. Khorsandi recommends barrier protection or titanium oxide sunblock that provides complete protection to the incisions. In this way you allow your incisions to heal with the least amount of discoloration.
