Our Process
Step 1: Initial Phone Consultation
Our patient coordinator, Joanne, will discuss your concerns, verify your insurance coverage,talk through the options available to you, and answer initial questions about the breast reduction procedure.
Step 2: In-Person Surgical Consultation
Meet Dr. Harris personally in our Long Island office. He’ll make sure you’re a good candidate for a breast reduction, explain how the procedure works, and create a personalized surgical plan.
Step 3: Insurance Pre-Authorization
We handle all insurance paperwork and pre-authorization requirements. You’ll know exactly what’s covered before your breast reduction, and won’t find yourself dealing with unexpected medical bills after your surgery.
Step 4: Surgery Day
Your breast reduction is performed in our outpatient facility with the latest techniques for optimal results and faster recovery. It’s usually performed under general anesthesia and doesn’t require an overnight hospital stay.
Step 5: Recovery & Follow-Up Care
Most patients return to work in 1–2 weeks and have healed within 4–6 weeks. We’ll provide you with thorough post-operative care and regular check-ins to make sure you’re recovering well and the procedure was a success.
