Restore Comfort, Proportion, and Confidence with Breast Reduction Surgery
At Ferguson Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we offer breast reduction in San Antonio to help women feel more comfortable, confident, and balanced in their bodies. Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, excess fat, and excess skin to create a lighter, proportionate breast size. Many women choose this procedure to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by overly large breasts, improve posture, and restore confidence in daily activities.
Why Choose Breast Reduction Surgery?
Disproportionately large breasts can lead to emotional discomfort, poor posture, shoulder grooving from bra straps, skin irritation, and limitations in physical activity. A breast reduction procedure is designed to reduce breast size, reshape the breast mound, and lift sagging skin for a more supportive contour.
During surgery, Dr. Ferguson removes excess breast tissue and glandular tissue, reshapes the breast, and repositions the nipple for a balanced result. For patients who want additional contouring, breast reduction can be combined with a breast lift or included as part of a mommy makeover.
Common Reasons Patients Choose Breast Reduction Surgery
Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain caused by overly large breasts
Skin irritation or rashes beneath the breast crease
Bra strap grooving or shoulder pain from breast weight
Emotional discomfort or feeling self-conscious about breast size
Difficulty maintaining an active lifestyle
Sagging skin or downward-pointing nipples
Clothing fit challenges and restricted physical activity
Interest in achieving a more proportionate breast size and improved body image
During the procedure, Dr. Ferguson will use the innovative lollipop incision technique to minimize scarring.

Recovery Process & Results
Most patients experience swelling, pressure, and soreness for the first several days after reduction mammoplasty. Light activity is usually possible within one week, while strenuous exercise should wait four to six weeks so the tissues can heal properly. Your recovery process will be supported by prescribed pain medication, a surgical bra, and step-by-step instructions to help prevent complications.
As swelling decreases and your breast tissue settles, your breasts will appear lighter, smaller, and more proportionate to your frame. Dr. Ferguson will guide you through a personalized follow-up plan designed to help your results continue to improve as your body heals.

Maintenance & Revision Options
Breast reduction results are long-lasting, especially when paired with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Natural aging, weight gain, and hormonal changes can still affect breast tissue over time. If you ever wish to refine shape, address sagging skin, or add fullness through a breast lift or fat transfer, Dr. Ferguson offers a full range of breast surgery options to support long-term satisfaction.
