Overview


Breast Reduction in West Palm Beach

Oversized breasts cause chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain — and limit physical activity, clothing choices, and self-confidence. Breast reduction surgery delivers life-changing relief and a beautifully proportioned silhouette.

Reduction mammoplasty removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is in harmony with the patient's frame. Beyond aesthetics, the procedure relieves the physical burden that large breasts place on the spine, shoulders, and posture. Many patients report it as one of the most transformative decisions they have ever made.

Am I a Candidate?


Ideal candidates are women experiencing physical discomfort (back, neck, or shoulder pain), skin irritation beneath the breasts, difficulty with physical activity, or emotional distress related to breast size. Most healthy adult women qualify. Insurance may cover the procedure in documented medical necessity cases.

The Procedure


General anesthesia is used. Dr. Kapp removes excess tissue and skin while repositioning the nipple-areola complex to achieve natural proportion. Incision patterns vary based on the degree of reduction needed.

Recovery & Results


Most patients take one to two weeks off work. A surgical bra is worn for support during healing. Swelling and soreness resolve progressively over several weeks. Strenuous activity is avoided for six weeks.
