Breast Reduction NYC
Dr. Scott E. Newman is a breast surgery specialist who performs breast reduction for his Westchester, Long Island, and NYC patients who are burdened by overly large breasts. While many women want full breasts, breasts that are disproportionately large can cause both physical and emotional pain.
My overall experience with Dr. Newman and his staff was excellent! My initial meeting with Dr. Newman was for breast augmentation, but after finding out I had breast cancer just a short time later, Dr. Newman was the best doctor I could have asked for to help me through. He assisted my breast doctor in performing my double mastectomy and performed every reconstruction surgery after that, and my results are amazing!!

Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?
Women with particularly large breasts often suffer side effects from having to carry the weight of their breasts on a daily basis. Common complaints include:
- Back and shoulder pain
- Chafing
- One breast significantly larger than the other
- Self-consciousness
- Problems finding clothes that fit properly
- Difficulty with activities like jogging, dancing, and horseback riding.
If you suffer from physical and/or emotional pain due to the size of your breasts, you might be a good candidate for breast reduction. You should also be in good health overall and have realistic expectations for the results of the surgery.

What is the Schnur Scale?
The Schnur Sliding Scale chart is a tool that plastic surgeons use to determine the minimum amount of breast tissue that must be removed for a breast reduction to be considered medically necessary. It is based on weight/height calculations and not the patient’s aesthetic goals.

How is breast reduction performed?
Breast reduction is performed using techniques similar to that used for a breast lift. In most cases, an anchor-shaped incision is used. Fat tissue and excess skin are excised to reduce the overall size of the breast. The nipple and areola are usually relocated so that they sit in a more natural position on the smaller-sized breast. If the nipple and surrounding areola must be drastically relocated, it might be necessary to sever nerves that serve the area, resulting in a permanent loss of sensation in this part of the breast.
How long does it take to recover from breast reduction surgery?
Recovery time for a breast reduction is similar to that for other breast procedures. Although your breasts can take from 6 months to a full year to settle into their new contours and shape, you will be able to see and benefit from the changes in your body and the reduced weight of your breasts right away.
