Breast Reduction: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

There is no pill that you can take to significantly and safely reduce the size of your breasts. Surgical breast reduction is a relatively safe procedure but I can completely understand that you are nervous about it.

If the size of your breasts is bothering you (and I’m pretty sure it is!) then ask your general practitioner to refer you to a plastic surgeon to discuss your options and find out more.

You’re under no obligation to undergo surgery and you should not proceed unless you feel comfortable with the decision, but you may find it useful and reassuring to learn more about the risks and benefits of breast reduction surgery.

If you ask around your social circle chances are you’ll find some women who have had the surgery and will be able to tell you about their experiences.

I’ve found that women who undergo breast reduction surgery are often extremely satisfied with the outcome, and often the only regret for women who begin with extremely large breasts is not having undergone the procedure sooner. (Jill Tomlinson, MBBS, FRACS, Melbourne Plastic Surgeon)

These breast reduction pills do not work. The only pills that work for breast reduction are the pain meds and the antibiotics that you take after your surgical breast reduction. Seriously though, the only way to reduce the size of the breast is to lose weight if you are overweight or have a surgical excision of tissue. (Steven Wallach, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

Don’t waste your money on breast reduction pills!

There is not a pill that can reduce your breast size. I would not waste money. A breast reduction is the only real and best way to reduce your breast size. I would do your research on breast reduction surgery, find a board certified plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with and schedule a consultation.

Your plastic surgeon will be able to explain everything to you, show you before and after pictures, and maybe even provide you with other patient testimonials. This should help alleviate your nervousness and get you on the road to living better life without your breasts weighing you down. (Sam Speron, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)

Pills that claim to reduce your breast size are very likely a hoax. There is no science behind these treatments.

(Gary Lawton, MD, FACS, San Antonio Plastic Surgeon)

No breast reduction pills that work exist (to my knowledge). Nor herbal remedies or potions-lotions work either. Weight loss can help in certain people. (David Liland, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)

If you are bothered by the size of your breasts see a plastic surgeon in consultation in order to discuss the risks and benefits.

This discussion may convince you to forgo the surgery for now, or make you comfortable with going forward with a breast reduction surgery. and best of luck. (Luis H. Macias, MD, FACS, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)

If there were a way for a pill to reduce fat in a specific area the inventor would be on their way to Stockholm for the Nobel prize.

No pill will make you loose breast tissue. Should you loose weight, you might loose some breast tissue. Breast reduction surgery will decrease your breast size, and reshape and lift your breast to a size that will look and feel good on you.

No Pills for Breast Reduction

There are no medications or pills that will cause the breasts to shrink appreciably. In the immediate period after childbirth, some women are prescribed Parlodel to stop milk production. The result is of course a decrease in the size of the milk glands but this is not a breast reduction. (Alexander G. Nein, MD, MS, FACS, Nashville Plastic Surgeon)

Alexia Breast Reduction Pills

There is no science behind these pills so use them at your own risk and discretion. You are better off consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to understand your options. (Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)

There is no way to predictably reduce breasts into a cosmetically acceptable shape and form. There are many ways to reduce the size of the breast tissue including diet and exercise, however all of the alternative therapies will give a negligible reduction in size and will most likely worsen the droop and shape of the breasts.

The best and most predictable way is through a reduction mammaplasty or breast reduction surgery. (Payman Danielpour, MD, FACS, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)

Fat reduction pills should be viewed with skepticism

All fat reduction pills, creams, etc should be viewed with skepticism. The adage that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is something to consider. Weight loss in general may reduce the amount of fat in your breasts and consequently your breast size.

Liposuction of the breasts and breast reduction surgery are surgical methods of breast reduction. (Remus Repta, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)

I am unaware of any pills or other non-surgical methods that produce a breast reduction. And that makes sense – why would anyone go through a surgical breast reduction – and it remains one of the procedures with the highest rate of satisfaction – if there were a way to do it non-surgically? (Alan M. Engler, MD, FACS, New York Plastic Surgeon)

To my knowledge there is not a pill that will reduce breasts.

Breast Reduction Options

Unfortunately the pills will not work. It is completely normal for someone to be anxious about a possible surgical procedure.

With an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon and proper pre-operative education some of your fears will be resolved.

Upon consultation you will be able to weight the benefits and the risks. My breast reduction patients tell me that this is a life changing surgical procedure for them as they are now able to be more active and less self conscience about their breasts.

Pills and breast reduction

There is no safe way outside of surgery to reduce breast size. In large breasts the skin has stretched and the skin has lost its elasticity. This cannot come back .

There is no safe nonsurgical breast reduction technique

Unfortunately, there is no safe way to reduce the size of your breasts without surgery. Although there are many pills available in market, none of these pills have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and none of these pills have been proven to be effective.

Your best bet is to save your money and do your research on breast reduction techniques. Once you have found a plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with consider moving forward with a breast reduction.

The breast reduction patients are some of the happiest patients in our practice! (Pat Pazmino, MD, FACS, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

Alexia Breast Reduction pills are a medical hoax

Where is the clinical data on this ‘medication’? There are a variety of ways to do safe and effective breast reduction surgery – including liposuction and various types of breast reduction surgery. As breast reduction procedure completely rejuvenated and lifts the breast.

This is something that a ‘medication’ like Alexia will never be able to achieve. (Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)

Buying these pills will only reduce your wallet size

There’s no medical way of reducing breast size through pills. I would caution you to stay away from mesotherapy or lipodissolve to reduce the fat in the breasts. Depending on your age, a young woman has a lot of thick breast tissue and not a lot of fat in her breasts.

Surgery is the only well established way to reduce your breast size. In my practice I use a short scar breast reduction technique which avoids placing scars under the breasts. These tend to show in the cleavage and lateral chest wall area which can limit you in your choice of clothing and swimwear.

Seek the advise of a board certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience in breast surgery. (George Marosan, MD, Bellevue Plastic Surgeon)

Please don’t waste your money

This is not an effective way of reducing your breasts. Speak to a plastic surgeon — if you only need a small reduction, perhaps liposuction might help. Get some good advice. (William B. Rosenblatt, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

Wishful thinking that a pill will reduce your breast

Our society has become used to taking a pill to go to sleep, a pill to get going in the morning, to treat anxiety, depression, decrease hunger and create an erection. However, I can not imagine that a pill will now, or ever be able to safely reduce the size of your breast.

Breast reduction surgery on the other hand, works. It is a reliable operation with a very high patient satisfaction rate and in someone like you, who is a DD, I would imagine that your lifestyle would be much improved if you had a reduction.

Discuss your concerns and health history with your surgeon. (Darrick E. Antell, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
