Breast reduction surgery is a highly sought-after procedure that aims to alleviate physical and emotional discomfort caused by overly large breasts. This transformative surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, resulting in smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts.
Women seeking breast reduction in Wilmington, NC, often report significant relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain associated with the weight of their breasts, as well as improved self-esteem and body image.
During the procedure, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini will reposition the nipple and areola to a higher location on the breast, maintaining blood supply and sensitivity. Bra line liposuction is often included at no additional cost for better breast shape and contour. The incisions may vary, with options including lollipop or anchor shapes, depending on the amount of tissue being removed and the desired results.
Many patients are eligible for breast reduction surgery if they experience issues such as heavy, elongated breasts, low nipple placement, or stretched areolas. The recovery period typically lasts 3-7 days, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few weeks. While immediate results can be seen post-surgery, the final outcome may take up to 12 months to fully manifest as swelling subsides.
If you're considering breast reduction in Wilmington, NC, Dr. Azzolini at Amelia Aesthetics is here to guide you through the process and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.


The lollipop lift scar goes around the areola and down the center of the breast, kind of like a lollipop.

An anchor lift scar goes around the areola, down the front, and along the breast crease. This type of reduction removes the most loose skin to reshape the breast and reposition the nipple.
