Is Breast Reduction Right For Me
Breast reduction in Jacksonville can be an excellent solution for healthy women who are in their late teens to their 80s and who are seeking relief from the physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. However, in most cases, it is advisable to wait until at least age 20 before undergoing breast reduction surgery. By this age, a woman’s breasts have typically completed most of their natural development, allowing for more stable and lasting results. Exceptions may be made in cases where breast size is so excessive that it leads to debilitating symptoms, such as chronic back pain, posture problems, or skin irritation, even in younger patients.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction in Jacksonville are women who are physically healthy, emotionally mature, and fully understand the surgical process, including recovery and outcome expectations. It’s important that patients have realistic goals and are choosing the procedure for their own personal comfort and confidence, not to meet external expectations.
Women who are planning to breastfeed in the future should carefully consider the timing of their surgery. Because breast reduction involves the removal of glandular tissue and reshaping of the breast structure, it may significantly impact the breast’s ability to produce milk. While some women are still able to breastfeed after reduction, there is a possibility that milk production will be limited or not possible at all.
During your consultation for breast reduction in Jacksonville, Dr. Csikai will take the time to assess your health history, breast development, and future plans, including pregnancy or breastfeeding considerations. After carefully assessing each of these factors, he will make a personalized recommendation tailored to your goals and lifestyle.

About Breast Reduction in Jacksonville
At First Coast Plastic Surgery
Your Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation for breast reduction in Jacksonville, Dr. Csikai will take the time to understand your personal goals and the reasons you are considering surgery. Whether you are seeking relief from physical discomfort, improving your body proportions, or enhancing your overall quality of life, Dr. Csikai will listen carefully and provide thoughtful guidance tailored to your needs.
He will also explain the various surgical techniques he uses to perform breast reduction in Jacksonville at First Coast Plastic Surgery’s on-site ambulatory surgical center. One of the most common questions patients have is about the necessary incisions; where they will be placed, how extensive they are, and how visible they might be after healing. Dr. Csikai will review your anatomy and goals to recommend the most appropriate incision technique for your specific case.
Although all breast reduction procedures involve some degree of scarring, scar visibility has become far less of a concern thanks to advancements in scar management products and post-operative care. Proven options like SCARGUARD® Repair Liquid and NUVADERMIS™ Silicone Scar Tape are often recommended to help reduce scar thickness, improve skin tone, and minimize discoloration. With proper care, most scars fade significantly over time and can be easily concealed by bras or swimwear.
After thoroughly answering all of your questions and reviewing your options, if you decide to move forward with breast reduction surgery in Jacksonville, you’ll be introduced to our surgery coordinator. Our surgery coordinator will review and confirm all of the decisions you’ve made with Dr. Csikai, explain the surgical fees associated with your personalized treatment plan, and schedule your surgery date.
You will also receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including important guidelines on what to eat or drink in the days leading up to your procedure, when to stop smoking, and which medications, vitamins, or supplements to avoid to ensure a safe and smooth surgical experience.

Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction in Jacksonville is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia at Dr. Csikai’s accredited on-site ambulatory surgical center. The procedure is fully customized based on your anatomy, goals, and the reduction required, all of which will have been thoroughly discussed during your initial consultation. Dr. Csikai will use the incision technique best suited to your needs, which he will have recommended in advance to optimize your results while minimizing visible scarring.
During surgery, Dr. Csikai will remove excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to achieve your desired breast size and shape. In most cases, the areola, which may have become stretched due to excess breast volume, is also reduced in diameter and repositioned higher on the chest to create a natural, youthful contour. Once the tissue reshaping is complete, the incisions are carefully closed to promote optimal healing and minimize scar visibility.
The entire procedure typically takes between two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case, the degree of tissue removal needed, and whether any additional procedures, (such as a breast lift or liposuction) are performed in combination. Every aspect of your breast reduction in Jacksonville will be tailored to your individual body and goals, ensuring safe and aesthetically pleasing results.
Incision Options for Breast Reduction in Jacksonville
Dr. Csikai will recommend one of the following incision techniques based on your breast size, skin elasticity, and the amount of tissue reduction required:
Circumareolar (Doughnut) Incision: This technique is typically used for women with smaller breasts and minimal sagging. The incision is made around the perimeter of the areola, and in some cases, a second concentric circle is made to remove excess skin between the two rings. The skin is then tightened around the areola, creating a lifted appearance with minimal and often nearly invisible scarring after full healing.
Vertical (Lollipop) Incision: Ideal for moderate reductions or when implants are used to restore volume, this method involves an incision around the areola and a second incision running vertically from the areola to the breast fold. This technique allows for more extensive reshaping while limiting scarring to just two areas, making it a popular choice for women seeking a balanced lift and contour.
Wise Pattern (Anchor) Incision: This approach is most often used for women requiring a significant reduction in size and reshaping. The incisions encircle the areola, extend vertically down to the breast fold, and continue horizontally along the natural crease beneath the breast. Though it involves the most incisions, it offers the greatest ability to reshape, lift, and reposition the breasts making it the most effective method for large-volume reductions and correcting severe sagging.
Each of these incision techniques is selected with your individual goals in mind, and Dr. Csikai will ensure your surgical plan is designed to achieve a natural, symmetrical, and proportional result.

Recovering After Breast Reduction
Following your breast reduction in Jacksonville, it’s normal to experience tenderness, bruising, and swelling in the breasts for the first two to three weeks. To help manage any discomfort during this initial recovery period, Dr. Csikai will prescribe appropriate pain medications and provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure.
As your body begins to heal, you’ll be required to wear a soft, supportive surgical bra without underwires. This bra should clasp in the front for ease of use and must be worn continuously for approximately two months or until the majority of swelling and bruising has subsided. This support is essential for minimizing strain on the incisions, promoting proper breast positioning, and aiding in the overall healing process.
Most patients are able to resume light daily activities and return to non-strenuous work within a few days to a week, depending on how they feel. However, it’s important to avoid lifting heavy objects, performing strenuous activities, or engaging in exercise for at least six weeks. Overexertion too soon can interfere with healing and increase the risk of complications.
Full recovery after breast reduction in Jacksonville typically occurs within three to six months, although some residual swelling and tissue settling may continue beyond that point. During this time, you may also experience temporary changes in nipple or areola sensation. While sensitivity often returns gradually, some patients may notice reduced sensation lasting for several months or even up to a year after surgery.
To help minimize the appearance of scars, Dr. Csikai may recommend medical-grade scar treatments such as SCARGUARD® Repair Liquid, silicone scar gels, or silicone tape like NUVADERMIS™. When used consistently during the healing process, these treatments can significantly reduce scar visibility and improve the texture and color of the skin around the incision sites.
With proper care, patience, and adherence to Dr. Csikai’s post-operative guidelines, you can expect a safe recovery and beautiful, long-lasting results from your breast reduction in Jacksonville.
