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.

How Much Does Breast Reduction Surgery Cost?

In Chicago, the price of breast reduction surgery varies depending on several different factors, which include:

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.

I was referred to Dr. Mark Sisco by a friend who had gone through a similar diagnosis months before me—she was extremely pleased with the provided healthcare and her results. I now have referred Dr. Sisco to others and will continue to do so enthusiastically. He is an exceptional doctor (literally called by nurses as “an artiste”), with a caring, calm demeanor and a wonderful staff to round out the experience. When my world came crashing down, I knew, at least, I didn’t have this to worry about. You are in excellent care with Dr. Mark Sisco, and for those of you reading this, I wish you the very best in your health journey.

Dr. Sisco was incredible to work with! He is the perfect mix of meticulous surgeon and fantastic bedside manner. He and his team made my journey much less scary. Once I had my plan with him and my breast surgeon my mind was at ease. I would recommend Dr. Sisco to anyone who has to go through this. Thank you Dr. Sisco, I am so grateful for your outstanding practice!

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Sisco and to have had him as my plastic surgeon. As a woman with a gene mutation that placed me at a 70% risk of developing breast cancer I decided to pursue a risk reducing double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. Dr. Sisco, besides his incredible skill and knowledge, has a wonderful bedside manner. He treats patients with the utmost respect, kindness and compassion. He is patient and thorough, unbiased and honest. Throughout the process of my surgeries and the entire process of reconstruction he and his staff could not have been better. He and his clinical and front desk staff never make you feel rushed, they respond very quickly to any questions or concerns. He is very honest and makes sure that patients, whether for reconstructive or elective procedures, have realistic expectations. He is truly a gifted surgeon and an artist. I am very happy with my results. Whether you are considering reconstruction or an elective procedure, I can not recommend Dr. Sisco more highly!

Dr. Sisco and his team are compassionate and it’s clear they care deeply about their patients. Not only do they take the time to understand each patient’s personal needs and health background, but they also strive for outstanding results. Making the choice for a prophylactic mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction was made much easier, in part, because of Dr. Sisco and his team of consummate and caring professionals. I’m so grateful and extremely pleased with my results.

Dr. Sisco is an excellent and caring surgeon. He is honest about the results he can deliver and manages expectations well. When I experienced discomfort during recovery, he and his team were responsive to all my concerns. I recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy surgeon.
Kathryn Primas
When diagnosed with breast cancer, I met with Dr. Sisco to discuss my options for reconstruction. He made me feel comfortable, informed and seen as a patient. He also performed surgery with my gynecological oncologist on my pelvic region following a tumor de-bulking surgery. He is caring, smart, funny, and most importantly the results from both major surgeries left me feeling better about my body. He has my highest regards not just in surgeon but for his bedside manner. I must also mention the incredible team he works with (Gia, Keya, Sophia, etc,). Everyone is helpful and kind. Many visits to the office were during uncertain times and they go out of their way to make the patients feel comfortable.
