The Procedure

Breast reduction is both a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedure for Columbus women that creates breasts which are smaller, lighter and more proportionate to the body.

As with a breast lift, incisions need to be made on the breast but the resulting scars are well hidden in clothing or a bathing suit. Breast reduction is one of the most transformative Columbus cosmetic surgery procedures Dr. Lichten performs - the most common complaint he hears is that patients wish they had their surgery sooner.
