Offered at our practice in Madison, Wisconsin, breast reduction is an effective option for those who wish to alter the appearance of their breasts. However, breast reduction is not exclusively a cosmetic procedure, as it can help to alleviate a number of physical problems that often result from excessively heavy breasts. These problems can include back and neck pain, skeletal abnormalities, and skin irritations caused by bra straps.
At our Madison, Wisconsin practice, breast reduction is also an option for men who wish to reduce the size of their breasts as well as for those seeking a female-to-male transition.
For women with exceptionally large breasts, Dr. King offers breast reduction surgery that can provide a life-enhancing solution, especially for women who experience pain and discomfort as a result of their breast size.
Through standard breast reduction surgery, plastic surgeon Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. is able to remove excess fat and breast tissue via a subtle incision made around the areola. In doing so, he is able to create lighter, smaller breasts that perfectly conform to the contours of the patient's body. As with all breast procedures, Dr. King performs breast reduction to achieve natural looking, aesthetically pleasing results.

Breast reduction surgery provides immediate results. From an aesthetic point of view, the breasts are significantly smaller and may even appear lifted. Patients also express feeling relief from the physical pain and discomfort of large, heavy breasts. After breast reduction surgery, many women enjoy greater clothing options, the ability to participate more easily in physical activities, and freedom from chronic pain. The before-and-after pictures below feature the results achieved by some of Dr. King’s previous breast reduction patients.

Although rarely discussed, the condition of having enlarged breasts is extremely common among men. This is why our cosmetic surgery practice in Madison, Wisconsin, offers breast reduction to male patients who wish to correct this condition, technically known as gynecomastia.
Depending on the needs of the patient, male breast reduction may be accomplished by removing fat through liposuction. In those patients who require the removal of excess skin and glandular tissue as well, Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. can perform the male breast reduction procedure by making a subtle incision in the underarm or around the areola. The course of treatment depends on the patient's needs and goals, as well as Dr. King's evaluation of the condition.
If you think you might be a good candidate for gynecomastia treatment, please contact our cosmetic surgery practice in Madison, Wisconsin for a confidential consultation with Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D.

For those who are ready to make the permanent lifestyle change of a female-to-male transition, our practice in Madison, Wisconsin offers breast reduction and chest reconstruction. Procedures for female-to-male transitions can vary, depending on the size of the pre-operative breast. For very small breasts, Dr. King can perform fairly non-invasive procedures such as liposuction. For larger breasts, more advanced breast reduction and reconstructive procedures are required.
For larger breasts, incisions are made so that excess fat and tissue can be removed from the sides of the chest. Typically, the nipple and areola remain attached to a vertical strip of skin and are repositioned to a higher place on the chest. Ultimately, the resizing and repositioning of the nipple and areola with the creation of male contours will result in a natural-looking male chest.
