What sets breast reduction in Palo Alto apart at Graw Beauty?

Yes. Many women combine a breast reduction with a breast lift for enhanced shape and symmetry. Some may also add body contouring or liposuction to balance overall proportions.
Breastfeeding ability can sometimes be affected, depending on the surgical technique. Dr. Graw prioritizes preserving glandular tissue and nipple sensitivity whenever possible.
Scars fade significantly over time and are typically hidden in natural breast contours or beneath undergarments. Dr. Graw’s precise suturing technique helps minimize their appearance.
Most swelling resolves within 2–3 months, and final results appear around six months post-surgery. You’ll enjoy lighter, more balanced breasts that complement your frame beautifully.
Dr. Graw offers a boutique surgical experience combining medical excellence with artistic precision. Her female perspective ensures sensitivity, balance, and results that honor your individuality.
