There are few if any surgeons in the world who have performed more breast reduction than Dr. Michael Suzman. He has developed and advanced techniques in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery that allow for safe, outpatient procedures with the highest level of safety, limited anesthesia, and wonderful size and shape outcomes. The goal of breast reduction is simply improvement in both comfort and appearance. Patients with significantly large, dense, dropping or asymmetric shape can benefit tremendously. Most women state that the surgery is life changing and one of their best decisions ever. Patient after patient report improved exercise, clothing choices. self esteem and body image and being far less self conscious. People with a family history of breast cancer do not need to worry- having a smaller breast size can make cancer screening easier and more comfortable and rates of breast cancer are actually lower in reduction patients.
What size can you be after a reduction? While patient preference is a big part of this decision, in order to be significantly more comfortable and have safe healing, most patients end up from 1-3 cup sized smaller. The goal is for the center of the breast where the nipple is to be near the fold under the breast, and the distance to from nipple to fold to be about 8-10cm- or enough for great shape but not too much skin overlap. Come meet with us and we can help you understand your new size and even visualize it in 3D with Vectra and Crisalix technology.

Dr. Michael Suzman Reviews
Dear Dr. Suzman Thank you for your tremendous skill in performing my breast reduction operation. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You are truly a lifesaver and better quality of life changer! Thank you for making me fly better! Finally my chest strap fits! Lol Blue skies! Best surgeon in the world!
Dr. Suzman is the best! He did my breast reduction in October 2021. Best decision ever! He is a perfectionist and I was extremely happy with the finished product! Before he surgery, we sat and discussed what to expect post op. He was very attentive and listened to all my concerns, and answered all my questions. Not once preop or post op did I feel rushed in the office visits. He made me feel extremely comfortable. I never had surgery prior to this and he, and his PA Helen, made me feel less nervous. The best team in the plastics game! I highly recommend :)
Doctor Suzman is a great doctor- he’s very professional and provides a great experience for anyone looking / exploring getting surgery.
Dr. Suzman, Helen Reyes and their office staff are incredible! Dr. Suzman operated on me 12 years ago with amazing results. I recently required a different surgery and immediately called Dr. Suzman. Both he and Helen listened to all of my concerns and have done an amazing job addressing my issues. I would trust them with my life.
My experience has been nothing short of exceptional. He was professional and available to my needs. Checked on me often when I was home recovering and I get lots of compliments from other doctors when they see his work. Great results

Sports Reduction
Board-certified Dr. Michael Suzman offers his patients an innovative alternative to breast reduction surgery based on their needs and body type. The "sports reduction" is a small breast reduction with limited incisions (lollipop incisions) for patients whose breasts are not quite as large as typical breast reduction candidates but who still suffer from heavy breasts during physical activities they love such as running, tennis, yoga, dance, etc. This is a less-invasive procedure due to the smaller incisions that are made, allowing the recovery time to be significantly less than a traditional breast reduction procedure. The best way for patients to determine what option is the most suitable for them is to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Suzman at Summit Group in Westchester County, NY or our Greenwich, CT office in Fairfield County.
Do I Qualify?
Breast reduction is appropriate if you experience:
- Disproportionate breasts to the body

About UsWhat to Expect
During a reduction mammaplasty, the surgeon will skillfully remove excess skin and tissue before re-contouring the breasts. The surgeon can choose to implement these incision patterns:
- Incision around the circumference of the areola
- Vertical incision from the bottom edge of the areola to the breast line
- Horizontal incision on the breast line
Liposuction may also be used to safely remove excessive tissue in the breast and will minimize scarring as it requires a much smaller incision. It also reduces the risk of losing nipple sensation and discoloration of the areola due to poor blood flow during surgery. The surgeon will discuss the difference between the techniques and help you determine which is best for your needs and goals.
Surgery Considerations
After breast reduction surgery, you may feel immediately lighter, due to the amount of tissue removed. After the surgery, you should wear a compression bra to support the healing process for the first couple of weeks. You will also be given post-operative care instructions and you can pre-schedule your follow up appointments to help you stay on track during your recovery process. You will need to rest for at least 7-10 days before returning to work. Regular physical activities can be resumed within 6-8 weeks. In some patients, it may take a year for nipple sensitivity to return to normal.
Freedom From Pain
Imagine living with lighter, more proportionate breasts that allow you to be comfortable in your clothes. Relieve your neck, shoulders and back of the aching from carrying around extra weight. Contact our office to schedule your initial consultation to learn more about breast reduction surgery.
