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.

A Reputation Built on Results

Dr. Sisco and his team are wonderful! I am three months post-op from a breast reduction and I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the process from start to finish. I had multiple consults before deciding who to go with, and my gut knew after my first meeting with Dr. Sisco that he would be the best fit for me. He's upfront, personable, kind and to the point. He makes you feel comfortable and excited about your surgery and understands the importance of such a life-changing procedure. His team made everything easy and quick, from setting up appointments, to scheduling my surgery, dealing with the insurance company and answering any questions I had in the immediate aftermath of my surgery. I highly recommend anybody considering a breast reduction to go see Dr. Sisco and go over any questions/concerns you have about the procedure. He will leave you feeling well taken care of and excited about your results. Thank you, Dr. Sisco for your fabulous work - I am so happy with the results!!

My first encounter with Dr. Sisco was in October of 2020, and working with Dr. Sisco over the past two years has been an incredible experience. I couldn't be more grateful for his services and the outcome of my surgical procedures. I was having complications with my existing implants, and due to a significant amount of weight loss, Dr. Sisco recommended I take a different approach to my breast reconstruction. I ultimately decided to have a DIEP Flap surgery which provided many benefits for my situation, including reconstruction using my own tissue and a flat tummy. Dr. Sisco's attention to detail allowed me to have the best possible outcome from this surgery, and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Sisco helped me feel confident in my body, and I am so thankful for his dedication to ensuring I had the best possible outcome. I can't thank Dr. Sisco enough for his top-quality services and recommend him to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon. Thank you so, so much, Dr. Sisco!

I wanted to get a breast lift with implants since years ago and after seeing the Before and After photos on his website, I made an appointment. Dr. Sisco and his team made me feel safe, they answered all of my questions, and I knew right away I was in good hands. I’m 4 months post-surgery and couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Dr. Sisco.

I am 35 years old, last year I was fighting Breast Cancer I had 6 month of chemotherapy, mysctomy reconstruction and 25 radiation therapy. I lost all of my hair to chemotherapy and I knew that I will have to do full mysctomy because I was Braca2 positive. This whole road was very long and challenging. I didn't even think that I will survive. Dr sisco told me one day you will look at all of it like a bad dream. Doctor Sisco was my plastic surgeon, He was amazing and supportive through my whole journey . The work that he did on me was beyond words. He gave me back what I lost to Cancer. I remember waking up from surgery / mysctomy devastated to look down and nothing changed. My surgeon Dr Krause took out all my lymphnodes and Dr Sisco reconstructed my arm . I don't have Lymphedema. Full range emotion in the surgical arm. He was present in all of my surgeries. I had easy recoveries from both surgeries. My parents couldn't even believe how he could do that. I teach yoga, Within two weeks I was able to do and Teach yoga again. Now adays I go to the gym and not even one person believes me that I had a mysctomy. The most important is that I survived Cancer, I am healthy and I have my life back. I am grateful that Dr sisco was my doctor. I would recommend him 100% . He knows what he is doing, he is supportive, compassionate and very human. Thank you for everything Doctor Mark Sisco. Thanks Veronika patton

I got a reduction about 2 months ago and I could not be happier with my results. From beginning to end, I was treated with much care and kindness. His work in itself is perfect, he did a beautiful job and my work came out better than I ever could've dreamed of. It was overall such a positive experience and Dr. Sisco is the best! If you are considering going to see him, I promise you are in great hands! Thank you Dr. Sisco, you have truly changed my life.

Had Dr. Sisco recommended to me by multiple friends for a breast reduction and I am beyond happy with my results. He made me feel extremely comfortable and I was clearly in good hands. The entire process was seamless from having a video information session while I was in school out of state to the in person consultation, insurance submission, scheduling the surgery, etc. I didn’t have to lift a finger. The recovery has been smooth and painless and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! Thank you Dr. Sisco.

I found Dr. Sisco after doing a search for breast reduction surgeons and finding he had great reviews. I am glad to add mine as one in support of Dr. Sisco and his work. He was timely, kind and professional and also realistic about my expected outcomes. I am extremely pleased with my final results - they match what Dr. Sisco explained they would be. After having children, my 34D breasts grew to a 36G and never returned to their original size even after breastfeeding. Seeking relief from the back pain and inability to fit into a normal sized shirt, Dr. Sisco offered a solution. I always wanted perky, small breasts (a B or C cup), but he was realistic in that I may only get to a full C, small D cup at best. Setting those realistic expectations helped me wrap my mind around an optimal final result and I am happy to say I am exactly that - a full C/Small D! Dr. Sisco has a great disposition and bedside manner and offered solutions for scare care. I love my end results and my clothes are fitting much better! I can't recommend Dr. Sisco enough.

Dr. Sisco did absolutely amazing job with my breast reconstruction revision, results are way and beyond of what I could possibly expect. The look and the comfort after his surgery are simply perfect. I would highly recommend him to anyone i know and definitely will be coming back for the future exchange when it’s due. Also he is very kind and very professional doctor. Combination of his skills and personal qualities makes him exceptionally excellent in my opinion.
