Understanding Boob Reduction Options
Open Surgical Reduction
Breast reduction surgery involves surgically removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin through carefully placed incisions. Common incision patterns include:
- Keyhole Incision:Â Encircling the areola vertically down the breast to the crease.
- Upside-Down T-shaped Incision:Â Used for larger reductions or more extensive tissue removal.
Liposuction Breast Reduction
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that selectively removes fat from the breasts, leaving minimal scars. It uses only tiny freckle size openings to complete the procedure. It’s suitable for those with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging.

- Open Surgical Reduction: The average cost in St. Louis is $9,400, involving more extensive tissue removal and incisions.
- Liposuction Breast Reduction: Dr. Wright offers a scar-less breast reduction at an average price of $4-6,000.
