Breast Reduction Before & Afters
Embrace Confidence
What is breast reduction surgery?
Large breasts can be more than just a physical burden. They can cause discomfort, hinder daily activities, and even lead to severe pain and emotional distress. But you don't have to live with this struggle. Dr. Sameer Kapadia, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago, offers breast reduction surgery to alleviate the physical and emotional toll of large breasts.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
For our patients in Chicago breast reduction isn't just about aesthetics; it's about reclaiming your comfort and confidence. Dr. Kapadia, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over ten years of experience, understands the physical toll of large breasts, a condition known medically as macromastia. He tailors his approach to achieve a proportional size that complements your unique body shape and empowers you to live more comfortably and confidently.
Psychological Benefits
Breast reduction surgery is also an option for women who simply feel unhappy with the appearance of their breast shape and size. Dr. Kapadia understands that the appearance of your breasts can significantly impact your self-esteem and is committed to helping you achieve the results you desire.
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift surgery, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape sagging breasts and lift breasts that have lost elasticity and firmness. This loss of firmness can be caused by several factors, including:
- Age. Skin naturally loses elasticity over time, leading to sagging.
- Pregnancy. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can stretch the skin and underlying tissues of the breasts.
- Significant weight loss. Rapid weight loss can leave behind loose skin and breast tissue.
What a Breast Lift Does
Each breast lift surgery is tailored to the needs of the patient. During the surgical procedure for a breast lift, Dr. Kapadia, a board-certified plastic surgeon, may perform the following steps:
- Removes excess skin. Excision of excess skin helps to tighten and smooth the breasts.
- Elevates the breasts. The breasts are lifted to a more youthful position on the chest wall.
- Reshapes breast contours. Fat and glandular tissue are reshaped to improve the roundness of the breasts and address elongation and drooping.
- Repositions the nipples and areolas. Downward-pointing nipples are repositioned for a more youthful, perky appearance.

Your Breast Reduction with a Breast Lift Procedure
Breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Depending on the complexity of the breast reduction Chicago patients may return home the same day or spend the first night in the surgical center.
Dr. Kapadia draws on his extensive experience and today’s most advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal results. The incisions are strategically placed – often around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the crease – to minimize scarring and promote a natural look. After meticulously removing excess tissue, Dr. Kapadia will reshape and reposition the remaining breast tissue for a more youthful and balanced appearance.

During a consultation, Dr. Kapadia can help you understand the benefits of each augmentation technique.
