What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a more balanced, proportionate breast size.
Many women in Birmingham, Troy, Farmington Hills, Rochester Hills, and the Detroit Metro area seek breast reduction not only for aesthetic reasons but also for relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by oversized breasts.
Am I a Candidate for Breast Reduction?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Experience chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain due to breast size
- Struggle with skin irritation, rashes, or infections under the breasts
- Have difficulty finding well-fitting, flattering clothing
- Feel self-conscious or limited in sports or daily activities
- Are physically healthy with fully developed breasts
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Benefits of Breast Reduction
There are many reasons why women choose breast reduction surgery. The primary benefit is relief from the physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts, including back, neck, and shoulder pain. By creating a more proportionate breast size, breast reduction can also make exercise, sports, and everyday activities significantly easier and more enjoyable.
Beyond the physical benefits, breast reduction can help women feel more confident in their appearance. Clothing fits more comfortably, posture improves, and many patients feel a renewed sense of freedom in their lifestyles. Additionally, when your breast reduction is performed by Dr. Mariam Awada, you benefit from her experienced eye for aesthetics and reputation for creating natural, balanced results that complement your figure.

What to Expect
The Consultation
During your private consultation, you’ll meet one-on-one with Dr. Awada. She will listen to your concerns, discuss your goals, perform a medical evaluation, and create a personalized plan for your breast reduction.
Preparing for Surgery
To ensure the best outcome, Dr. Awada will provide detailed preparation instructions. Patients are advised to stop smoking and using nicotine products, avoid medications that increase bleeding risk, and arrange for help at home during the initial recovery period.
The Procedure
Breast reduction is performed on an outpatient basis in our accredited surgical suite. The surgery typically takes between two to four hours under full anesthesia. Dr. Awada removes excess tissue and fat, reshapes the breasts, and repositions the nipple and areola to achieve a natural, youthful contour.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery is gradual, with some soreness, swelling, and bruising in the first few days. Most women return to work after about a week, though jobs requiring heavy lifting may need more downtime. Compression garments and supportive bras help aid healing, and results continue to improve as swelling fades over the following weeks.
Results & Scarring
Breast reduction results are long-lasting and often permanent. Scars are carefully placed in discreet locations and generally fade significantly within a year. By following Dr. Awada’s aftercare plan, patients can achieve the best healing and the most natural-looking results.
Risks & Considerations
As with any surgery, risks include anesthesia complications, infection, and scarring. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Awada minimizes these risks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Reduction
Will I need to lose weight before surgery?
It’s best to be at a stable weight, as major weight fluctuations may affect your results.
Are breast reduction results permanent?
Yes, but significant weight gain can affect breast size in the future.
Is it worth it?
Most women report life-changing relief from pain and self-consciousness, with a renewed sense of confidence.
How much smaller will my breasts be after surgery?
The exact reduction depends on your goals and your body frame. Dr. Awada will work with you to determine the right size that provides both comfort and a natural, proportional look.
When can I start exercising again after surgery?
Light walking is encouraged within a few days, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks, depending on the healing process. Dr. Awada will give you a personalized activity timeline.
Can breast tissue grow back after reduction?
The removed tissue is gone permanently. However, significant weight gain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes may cause some increase in breast size over time.
How soon will I see my final results?
You will notice a difference immediately, but swelling will take several weeks to fully resolve. Most patients see their final shape within 3–6 months.
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction?
Some women are still able to breastfeed after the procedure, but it depends on the surgical technique and how much tissue is removed. This can be discussed with Dr. Awada during your consultation.
Is breast reduction painful?
Most patients report soreness and tightness rather than sharp pain. Prescription medication helps during the first few days, and discomfort typically improves quickly as you heal.
What kind of bra will I need after surgery?
You’ll first wear a supportive surgical bra or compression garment, followed by a soft, wireless bra during recovery. Later, you can transition into regular bras that often fit more comfortably than before.
How long should I take off work?
Most women return to work within a week if their job is not physically demanding. Jobs that require heavy lifting may require more time off.
