What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a common procedure that can help many women feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. If you are dissatisfied with the size of your chest, a breast reduction procedure can create a more balanced figure suited to your body frame.
Women with overly large breasts often complain of physical discomfort or pain. Pendulous breasts can place a significant physical and emotional burden on a woman’s daily life. During a breast reduction in Marina del Rey, Dr. Macias can:
- Reduce the size of your breasts
- Address a drooping appearance
- Restore your ability to exercise and wear tight clothing with ease
- Relieve back and neck pain
What Is Male Breast Reduction?
Gynecomastia surgery, otherwise known as male breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty), is a treatment that addresses enlarged male breasts. While there are various causes for this condition, it is most often the result of a hormone imbalance (too much estrogen and not enough testosterone). In some cases, the gynecomastia is so severe that the patient develops a drooping breast envelope, meaning that a breast lift will also be needed.
Breast Reduction Basic Facts
Surgery Time: 2–4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and whether it’s combined with other surgeries, such as a lift.
Price: Starting at about $20,000, this may be covered by your medical insurance, subject to your individual policy terms, breast size, and body mass index.
Recovery: Your initial recovery may take between 1 and 2 weeks. Most patients return to work and light activity in 2–3 weeks, with strenuous exercise and heavy lifting typically resumed after 4–6 weeks.
Results: Breast reduction results are considered permanent, though natural changes from aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy can affect long-term outcomes. Most patients notice an immediate difference in size and shape, with final results, including full scar maturation, typically visible after 3–6 months.

How to Begin Your Breast Reduction Journey
Your treatment journey in Los Angeles begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Macias and his surgical team. This first visit is dedicated to answering your questions, discussing your goals, conducting a physical evaluation, and reviewing your medical history to make sure breast reduction surgery will be safe and effective for you.
Dr. Macias understands that every patient possesses a unique body and cosmetic desires. As such, he will tailor your breast reduction procedure completely to meet your needs. During your initial consultation at our Marina del Rey office, he will talk to you about:

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Reduction Surgery
To begin your breast reduction in Marina del Rey, our team will administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. From there, Dr. Macias will create an incision. The location options include:
Anchor – The traditional anchor shape involves incisions around the areola, down the front of the breast, and along the breast crease. Vertical – The vertical incision is made around the areola and down the front of the breast. Peri-areolar – The smallest option, this incision is made around the areola and is only appropriate for women who need to remove a limited amount of excess tissue.
Dr. Macias will remove excess breast tissue and excess fat through the opening, then reshape and lift the remaining tissue into a more youthful position. If necessary, he will also resize and reposition the nipple and areola, removing excess skin as needed. Once your lighter breasts have been sculpted, he will close the incisions with sutures.
Breast Reduction Recovery
The breast reduction recovery period is three to four days of initial rest. However, most of our Los Angeles patients take a week off from their main activities. The sutures are dissolvable and do not require removal. Most women return to exercise at four weeks. By four to six weeks post-surgery, you should be fully recovered and enjoying your natural breast reduction results. The healing p
