Before & After Breast Reduction

Relief From The Weight You've Been Carrying
Breast reduction — medically known as reduction mammaplasty — removes excess skin, glandular tissue, and fat to reduce breast size and weight, while lifting and reshaping the breasts for better proportion. For patients who want extra refinement, a breast lift can be included in the same procedure.
Most patients come to us for one of two reasons: physical relief from years of back, neck, and shoulder strain, or a desire to finally feel proportionate and comfortable in their own body. Both are valid. Both are exactly what this procedure is designed to address.
Breast Reduction May Be Right For You If You Experience:
- Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
- Posture changes or skeletal strain
- Skin irritation or rashes beneath the breast
- Grooves or indentations from bra straps
- Breast asymmetry
- Self-consciousness or emotional distress
Two Decades Of Dedicated Care In NYC
Dr. Sabry's path to Murray Hill began at New York Medical College, followed by a general surgery residency in Manhattan, a plastic surgery fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia, and a craniofacial fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis — training that once led him to direct a cleft and craniofacial program in academia. A pull back to his favorite city brought him home to open his own NYC practice in 2004, and in December 2020, he opened the doors to Murray Hill Plastic Surgery & Vein Center, the practice he leads personally today.
A Precise, Patient-First Approach
Dr. Sabry performs breast reduction using a tumescent, sharp-dissection technique with a modified vertical pattern — removing excess tissue with precision and minimal bleeding, without the need for surgical drains. His approach is deliberately conservative: remove only what's necessary, never more, with every case evaluated individually so the result genuinely fits your body.
- Modified vertical reduction pattern
- No surgical drains required
- 9+ years of surgical training, including a craniofacial fellowship
- Assistant Professor, New York Medical College
- 1,000+ aesthetic procedures performed personally
That same care extends to how the practice runs. You'll meet with Dr. Sabry directly from your first visit, and he personally follows up after surgery — often with a call the evening of the procedure itself. It's a small, attentive practice built around honest guidance, not upselling.
"We see you, we hear you, and we treat you like family — with honesty, empathy, and respect."

Breast Reduction FAQs
For most patients, yes. Reducing breast weight and volume often eases pressure on the shoulders, neck, and upper back, and many people feel relief within days of surgery.
Rather than targeting a specific cup size, Dr. Sabry focuses on proportion, comfort, and long-term stability, since clothing sizes vary so much between brands.
Yes. The tissue removed during breast reduction does not return, though factors like weight changes, pregnancy, and aging can still affect breast size over time.
Every technique leaves some scarring, but Dr. Sabry's modified vertical approach is designed to minimize both the number and length of incisions. Scars typically fade substantially within about a year.
It can be, when the procedure is considered medically necessary due to chronic pain, skin irritation, or functional limitations. Please note that Murray Hill Plastic Surgery is an out-of-network provider for most commercial insurance plans — our team can still help verify your benefits and determine what portion, if any, may be reimbursed. For any remaining cost, flexible financing plans (including Alphaeon Credit and Cherry) are also available.
Most patients return to non-physical work within about a week. Exercise and heavy lifting should wait several weeks while your body heals.
No. Dr. Sabry's approach doesn't require surgical drains, which tends to make the early recovery period noticeably more comfortable.
Yes — a lifting and reshaping effect is naturally built into breast reduction surgery, and the plan can be further customized if you'd like additional lift or symmetry correction.
Revision cases make up a significant part of the practice, including correcting prior reductions, addressing asymmetry, or removing implants that are no longer wanted.
You'll notice a difference right away, though initial swelling takes some time to resolve. Your final shape and contour continue to refine over the following months.
