Abnormally large breasts can cause social, functional, and physical concerns for women. In addition, uneven and very large breasts can create insecurity, self-confidence issues, and embarrassment, as well as aches and pains. Dr. Glenn Lyle is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Raleigh, NC who continues to help countless women regain their confidence and feel more comfortable through surgical reduction of the breasts. This aesthetic surgery at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center reduces excess breast, fat and skin to redefine and reshape the breasts to a more compatible size. Breast reduction surgery also reshapes the size of the nipple/areola area and repositions them, so they are symmetric with the new breast size. In all cases, a breast lift is incorporated to produce a tighter and younger-looking appearance.
Ideal Candidates
If you are challenged with excessively large breasts that create obstacles in your daily life, cosmetic breast reduction may be a good option to get the figure you wish for. This surgery is helpful for women who experience emotional stress or find it difficult to lead an active life because of the weight of their breasts. Also, if you deal with ongoing skin problems as well as back or neck pain, this surgery can eliminate many of these annoyances. It is important patients are at or near their goal weight and generally are in good health. Dr. Lyle will take on patients with same underlying health issues- but the surgery may have to be performed at Rex Hospital as an outpatient.
Surgical Technique
Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure performed with general anesthesia. The length of surgery is dependent upon several factors including the complexity of the incision, the overall reduction technique, and finally, how much reduction is required. The nipple and areola repositioning are also a factor. For some patients, liposuction is used for fat reduction in the axilla or bra roll area. During the private consultation, all of these factors are addressed with Dr. Lyle. Scarring is also discussed as it is common for scar lines to be visible, although surgical skill and advanced methods have led to a noticeable reduction in the visibility of scars. Depending on the patient's anatomy, the reduction will be done either with an anchor or a vertical incision. The breast tissue will then be removed, and the existing tissue and skin will be pulled tight and secured.
What to Expect
After surgery, you will be observed closely in our comfortable recovery area and then discharged home to heal. A small, tube-like draining device may be implanted near the surgical site to reduce drainage from swelling and bleeding. A medical sports bra will be worn for several days that will provide mild compression during the initial healing period. Within about a month, the breasts will settle and the post-op effects will diminish. The vast majority of our patients at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center remark they feel lighter and relieved and more reassured. After breast reduction surgery, you can buy the clothes you could not wear before and feel enthusiastic with your new shape. Remember, it is important to adhere to a healthy lifestyle, so the results are not affected in a negative way.
Breast Reduction Reviews
I am very happy with my experience with Dr Lyle. I wanted my breast implants out and didn't know what else I should do to look somewhat normal afterwards. He suggested a lift and I asked for a fat transfer, so I had it all done together. He was honest and caring. I like his bedside manner. I always get in early for my appointments. His office staff is nice as was the OR staff during my procedure. I am also happy with my results so far.

Tummy is flat & toned & breasts are beautiful & proportional to my body - Dr. Lyle recently performed my mommy makeover procedure and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the initial consultation to the post-op care, Dr. Lyle’s expertise was evident every step of the way.After having dreamed of a mommy makeover for 10 years, when the time finally came I was very nervous. Dr. Lyle took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and answer every question I had, ensuring that I felt comfortable and well-informed. His attention to detail and precision in his work absolutely sets him apart as a skilled plastic surgeon. This truly was a life changing experience for me and I am beyond thrilled with the results. My tummy is flat and toned (my belly button is gorgeous!) and my breasts are beautiful and proportional to my body. The results are natural looking and beyond what I ever dreamed possible. Thanks to Dr. Lyle, I feel like a brand new person. The surgery not only gave me back my pre-pregnancy body but boosted my confidence and self-esteem and gave me a new outlook on life. I am absolutely overjoyed with my new body. Words could never express adequately the gratitude I feel to Dr. Lyle and his wonderful staff. He is an exceptional surgeon and his nurses and staff are a joy to be around.If you are considering any plastic surgery, but particularly abdominoplasty, breast reduction or liposuction, I highly recommend Dr. Lyle for his outstanding skills, excellent patient care and dedication to achieving natural-looking results. Thank you, Dr. Lyle, for making this experience the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
From the moment we met Dr. Lyle, we knew we had chosen the perfect doctor to perform my daughter’s breast reduction. The entire office and surgical staff was kind and welcoming and calmed her nerves. My daughter absolutely loved Brittany (Dr. Lyle’s nurse) and Haley (Dr. Lyle’s physician assistant). We had a phenomenal experience her day of surgery. As a nurse mom, my standards are high. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing she was in the capable hands of an experienced nurse anesthetist doing her anesthesia (thank you Claire) Dr. Lyle’s has been practicing for nearly 30 years. His experience and expertise put me at ease. He is a true artist. My daughter’s surgery went smoothly and she was absolutely thrilled with her results. Dr. Lyle and his team gave her the gift of self confidence and I cannot thank them enough!
WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lyle and his team! I had a breast augmentation done last month and the entire experience has been nothing short of wonderful! I was nervous beginning this journey, but Dr. Lyle and everyone at his practice made me feel very comfortable and were so supportive from start to finish. I honestly wish I could do it all over again! Dr. Lyle is very calming, listens to his patients, and truly is an artist at what he does! I have had several people ask me who my surgeon was and of course I am proud and excited to tell them Dr. Lyle and his wonderful team at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center! I could not be happier with the results! My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!! I am an RN and had pretty high standards beginning this process but Dr. Lyle and his team far exceeded them! The office is absolutely beautiful as well, even my husband commented on how relaxed he felt sitting in the waiting room. They have an awesome Instagram page too with really good information and education about different types of procedures, aesthetic treatments, surgeries, etc. The whole experience has me wanting to become an aesthetic nurse! Thank you to Dr. Lyle and his incredible team!!
