What Is A Breast Reduction Surgery?
The goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce disproportionately large breasts that may be causing physical discomfort by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipples to improve the overall shape, size and appearance of the breasts. You may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery if you have breast tissue and nipples that sit at or below the breast fold, have breasts that are asymmetric or that feel heavy and dense potentially causing shoulder grooving and neck and back pain.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons bring over 25 years of combined experience and have performed over a thousand breast reduction procedures. This surgery requires a high level of expertise to carefully remove excess breast tissue, reposition the nipples, and reshape the breasts—all while preserving nerve function and minimizing scarring. With a refined surgical approach and an artistic eye, our surgeons are dedicated to delivering safe, natural-looking results that not only reduce breast size but also restore a more lifted and balanced appearance.
Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss questions and voice what you would like changed through surgery. Dr Crofts will discuss the details of the procedure and create a surgical plan with you. Our office staff will provide you with a cosmetic surgery quote or work with your insurance to get your procedure scheduled.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Your surgery will take place at an accredited facility. This is generally a 3 to 5 hour procedure and you will be released home on the same day.
Generally, you will be seen 1 to 3 days after surgery and again 4 to 5 days later. Further post operative appointments will continue and be dependent upon your recovery.
Recovery for breast reduction surgery is generally 2 weeks. At Aesthetica, post operative care and safety is our number one priority. We see patients frequently after their procedure to assure healing and recovery is on track. Patients have 24 hour access to an on-call nurse for emergencies.

Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
We couldn't be happier with the results of my daughter's breast reduction. Dr. Crofts is certainly a perfectionist and a very skilled plastic surgeon. My 17 yr old daughter went from a 32H to a 32C, which looks perfect on her frame. Dr Crofts did some side liposuction to get perfect contouring and gave her the wound vacs which made for a very easy and worry-free recovery. Everyone in Dr Crofts' office is so kind and they really care about their patients. We highly recommend Dr Crofts and his fabulous medical staff.

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing my experience has been. I am currently 3 weeks post op of my breast augmentation and am absolutely loving my results.To start, Dr. Curiel is very knowledgeable and made me feel unbelievably comfortable through the whole process. He answered everything question I had in detail to ensure I felt comfortable. He explained his whole process, what to expect, risks, etc so I knew what to expect. His bed side manner is amazing.His attention to detail in and out of the operating room is what made me decide to go with him. He wants to make sure his work is executed perfectly. It really showed for me even more on the day of surgery when he went over in the surgery before mine by 3 hours to make sure it was perfect. I knew I was in good hands already but that made me feel even more comfortable to know that he really takes his time.Lastly the staff is absolutely amazing to work with. They are all so very kind and have a way to make you feel even more comfortable and excited.I would recommend Dr. Curiel and his team to anyone and would choose him time and time again. Thank you so much for the amazing work!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about my experience. From the very beginning, I felt completely seen, heard, and taken seriously. I went into this with a lot of questions (and honestly, some nerves), and every single one of them was answered with patience, clarity, and genuine care. That alone made such a difference for me.I’ve struggled with body image for most of my life, so making the decision to get a breast augmentation and lift was a big, emotional step. But this entire team made me feel so supported and comfortable through the whole process. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, attentive, and just genuinely awesome. You can tell they truly care about their patients and aren’t just going through the motions.I had originally considered going to Mexico for the procedure, but I ultimately decided to stay in my home state so I could have my family close during recovery—and I’m SO glad I did. Having that support system nearby, combined with the level of care I received from this team, made the entire experience even better.Recovery was honestly way smoother than I expected. The pain wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my head, and everything healed beautifully. I felt taken care of every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind.Now… I can confidently say I feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin than I ever have before. It’s been such a positive, empowering transformation for me.10/10 recommend. I’m genuinely so happy with my results and so grateful for this entire experience 💕
