What Is Breast Reduction?
Large breasts can cause social and physical challenges, including self-image issues and back, neck, and shoulder pain. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, breast reduction surgery removes excess fat, tissue, and skin to resize and reshape the breasts. The procedure also repositions the areolas and nipples and includes a lift for a firmer look.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Breast reduction surgery is typically an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The specifics, including incision method and tissue removal, vary. The nipple and areola are also repositioned. Though scarring is likely, modern techniques have minimized its visibility. Depending on the reduction needed, an inverted-T or vertical incision is used to remove fat and tissue, reshaping and lifting the breast for a better contour. Initial consultations at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery will cover these details.

Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
got a bilateral breast reduction by dr patterson - my expectations were blown through the roof! two days post op and already so happy with the results
Just a note of Thanks to Dr. Patterson and his staff. I am so thankful for everyone in his office for taking such good care of me. Dr. Patterson is one of the Best doctors in Pensacola. I decided back in 2010 to have breast implants put in due to nursing 3 children. Dr. Patterson is a perfectionist and I am thankful for that. Dr. Patterson also did a breast reduction for my daughter due to severe back pain and now the back pain is gone and we were able to get her off of pain medicine. May 2024 I had my implants removed due to having rheumatoid arthritis and severe back pain. As of now I am 3 days post opp and feel so much better. I wish I could remember everyone’s name in his office because they deserve Recognition for going above and beyond being helpful. Gulf Coast Plastic surgery is Voted The Best in Pensacola if you ask me. Thank-you for your expert care and saving me from a dangerous back surgery. I have so much more energy now and I am beyond blessed having extraordinary care! I would also like to say that The Cornerstone Surgery Center was Amazing. Shout out to such a Amazing team. The anesthesiologist made me feel like there was nothing to be afraid of and she was right. I feel like they are the Best team with over 50 years combined experience in Pensacola!! Keep up the Great work! Tanya Ballard
Dr. Leveque performed my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I am almost two weeks out of surgery and recovering beautifully thanks to the support from her staff and careful care instructions. Leading up to the procedure I was well educated by Dr. Leveque and the staff at GCPS. The surgery itself was just fine, I was well prepared and went home the same day. My incisions are remarkably small! I know they will heal well. My post op visits have also been so helpful. I had initially had a quote from another surgeon and opted to come here. I am so glad that so did.
