What Is a Breast Reduction?
Oversized breasts can cause social and functional issues for women. In addition, uneven and very large breasts can lead to self-image issues and embarrassment, as well as joint pain. Dr. Ross Bunch helps countless women regain their confidence and enjoy an active lifestyle through cosmetic breast reduction. This aesthetic surgery at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa reduces excess breast tissue and skin to recontour the breasts to a smaller and healthier size. Breast reduction surgery also reshapes the size of the areolas and nipples and moves them so they look natural with the new breast size. In most cases, a breast lift is performed to give a more taut and younger-looking appearance. Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for breast reduction procedures when patients meet medical necessity requirements, are eligible for coverage, and are considered in-network.

How Is Breast Reduction Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure and is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery is dependent upon a few factors, including the incision type, the overall reduction technique, and the degree of reduction. Based on the complexity of the reduction, either an anchor or a straight line (vertical) incision will be incorporated. Breast fat and tissue will be removed, and the existing tissue and skin will be tightened. Repositioning the areola and nipple area will also be a factor. At the time of the initial consult, all of these factors are addressed with Dr. Bunch. The topic of scarring is also thoroughly examined and talked through as it is likely to occur. However, advanced techniques have led to a decrease in the visibility of scarring.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Reduction?
While some people might want to increase the size of their breasts, for others, unnaturally large breasts sometimes negatively influence their day-to-day lives and confidence.

Breast Reduction Reviews
I had my second surgery with Dr bunch. First being an Extended abdominal plasty then a breast augmentation. If you want you want high-quality results with a 5 star surgical suite please book with Dr bunch. I traveled from Oklahoma twice for my procedures with him. And I will do it again. His staff are amazing. Ben is very accommodating answering any questions you have before or after your surgery. the surgery coordinator Mallory is the sweetest and worked with getting my second surgery booked. He is truly the doll maker.
They are the absolute best hands down I had a breast reduction and the outcome was amazing the staff is amazing as well
I had a breast reduction with Dr. Bunch and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. He listened to all my concerns, made me feel comfortable, and delivered amazing results. My recovery has been smooth, and I already feel more confident and comfortable. The staff is friendly, supportive, and truly cares about their patients. I’m so thankful I chose Dr. Bunch, this surgery has been life-changing!
Dr Bunch is hands down the best plastic surgeon artist! He reconstructed my nose and did breast augmentation for me when I was early 30’s! I am now 58 and I have never had any problems and they both are so natural that they look original! Highly recommend him!! I now in Texas and would only return to him for any future work!!
