Breast Reduction

At our Northbrook, Illinois, practice, some of Dr. Sisco’s happiest patients are those who visit him for breast reduction from Highland Park, Glenview, Arlington Heights, the North Shore, and surrounding areas. Making sagging, pendulous breasts perkier and more proportionate can do wonders for a woman’s sense of femininity and confidence. Many of Dr. Sisco’s patients say that they love shopping for cute, delicate bras after surgery—or even having the option of going without a bra for the first time in years.

You Have Options

Breast reduction for our North Shore-area patients is a transformative procedure that has the potential to remedy both physical and emotional discomfort. This surgery typically reduces the size of the breasts while also lifting them, resulting in a more significant change. During your consultation, Dr. Sisco performs a physical evaluation of your breasts and discusses your medical history. Many women seeking breast reduction suffer from physical problems caused by the weight of their breasts, such as chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain. Together, you can also plan the specifics of your surgery.

If you’re satisfied with the size of your breasts but would like to change their shape or position, a breast lift may be more appropriate.

Some patients choose to combine their breast reduction with axillary breast tissue excision—a procedure that removes underarm bulges for more streamlined contours.

Surgery Day & Long-Term Results

Dr. Sisco typically performs breast reduction surgery as an outpatient procedure. Once you are completely anesthetized, he makes an incision—usually anchor-shaped—around your areola, down the lower portion of the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease. Dr. Sisco then removes an amount of breast tissue—determined by the metrics you discussed during your consultation—and tightens the breast skin. He lifts and reshapes the remaining breast tissue and may also reduce the size of the areolas to ensure they’re proportionate in relation to the breasts.

Although you can return home after your procedure, you’ll need to wear a special support garment during the first week or so. Most patients return to sedentary workplaces after about 1 week, with more time needed before resuming vigorous exercise.

In the long term, the results of your breast reduction surgery have the potential to be permanent, providing lifelong comfort and confidence.

Dr. Mark Sisco is truly a master of his trade. I never expected my breasts to look so great. To say I was scared was an understatement, I had never had any type of surgery. I interviewed numerous surgeons, my friends interviewed surgeons for me, no one had the credentials that Dr. Sisco has. Dr. Sisco and his team prepared me thoroughly for every aspect of my breast cancer surgery. Their attention and his attention to every detail was impressive. For me, with my level of fear, the best part of the surgery was the moment he came to see me before he operated. I felt an instant sense of calm, I knew I was in the right hands. I knew the best that could be done for me was being done. Dr. Sisco is an artist and a good, good man.

I went to Dr Sisco for a revised breast lift after very disappointing results from Dr Kotis who performed the wrong lift yet charged the same. I can not be happier! I finally have the right lift!! Dr Sisco was caring, he understood my needs, attentively listened and clearly communicated what the expectations should be and thereby the results. His work was meticulous vs sloppy and bedside manners were professional and attentive vs dismissive and rushed.

This is listed under my husband's name, but I had a fabulous experience with Dr. Sisco. He couldn't have been nicer through every stage of my experience, and is an absolutely fabulous surgeon. I couldn't be happier with the results from my procedure. I highly recommend him and his staff. Do not hesitate to use him if you need breast surgery.

Mark Sisco is an incredibly talented artist / surgeon and a really kind, warm, caring person. I cannot say enough positive words about my experience with him. He provided me with what I consider the "silver lining" of a potentially horrible situation.

Dr. Sisco did an amazing job with my reduction! I finally feel like I fit into my body. He takes the time to listen to you and gives you his honest opinions. I thought I might need a lift and he said that would not be necessary. Great bedside manner and surgeon. I also appreciate that he is on time with his appointments.

Dr Sisco and staff were amazingly supportive! Dr. Sisco is a magician. 2010 I had a double mastectomy. I was so happy the cancer was was gone I just dealt with the my new breast. They were very hard, lopsided and headlights went in opposite directions. But I was alive. I decided to look into reconstruction after 10 years. 2 plastics surgeons said they would not take me one. 2 plastics told me it would be 3 surgeries and over a year long process. I meet Dr. Sisco. I immediately like his supportive easy going manor. He said he could probably do it in 1 surgery. Maybe 2. I was able to get on his schedule quickly. I had the surgery May 29th at Evanston hospital. Dr. Sisco’s team was top notch! I was home same day. 3 months later I feel like myself again. I am not sure why I waited so long. I am so happy with the results. I did not need a 2nd surgery. I am so proud of this girls. They remind me of the originals. My husband cannot stop staring at them. I would highly recommend Dr. Sisco!!
