Breast Reduction.
Feel More Comfortable & Confident!
Breast Reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, helps millions of women overcome physical and emotional discomfort every year. This procedure was designed to remove excess breast fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a smaller size and natural contour that complements your activity level, comfort, and natural proportions while relieving the discomfort associated with very large breasts.
At North Shore Center for Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons are dedicated to your comfort and healthy recovery. You lead the course of your journey, and with the latest technology and techniques available, Drs. Cohen-Kashi and Lin can help you achieve a more comfortable and flattering bust for your body.

Although physical activity should be limited for several weeks, patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a few days.

The First Step: Choose a Surgeon You Can Trust
Plastic surgery involves many choices. The first and most important is selecting a surgeon you can trust. A doctor’s board certification is one of the best indicators of his or her training.
Lawrence C. Lin, MD and K. Jacob Cohen-Kashi, MD are certified by the The American Board of Plastic Surgery® (ABPS) and are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The Results Will Be Long-Lasting
The results of breast reduction surgery will be long lasting. Your new breast size should help relieve from the pain and limitations experienced prior to breast reduction. Your better proportioned figure will likely enhance your self image and boost your self confidence.
How Much Will Breast Reduction Cost?
Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. Prices for breast reduction can vary widely. A surgeon’s cost for breast reduction may vary on his or her experience as well as geographic office location. If your surgery is not covered by insurance, we offer patient financing plans, so be sure to ask.
Cost may include:
- Surgeon’s fee
- Surgical or Hospital facility costs
- Anesthesia fees
- Prescriptions for medication
- Post-surgery garments and medical tests
Your satisfaction involves more than a fee. Please remember that your surgeon’s experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
