I was diagnosed with right breast cancer in June of 2018 & underwent a right breast mastectomy with an implant based reconstruction with another plastic surgeon. Shortly after I was told I needed to have radiation on my breast and that was when everything changed for me. Unfortunately after the radiation my breast became hard, stiff and the shape completely changed. This caused me to have some pain and to become creative with my clothing and bras to have symmetry between the two breasts. Most plastic surgeons are able to do implant based reconstruction but not all are able to give you the option to have autologous tissue reconstruction (using your own bodies tissue to reconstruct a new breast). I was recommended to see Dr. Mytien Goldberg a microsurgeon who was able to give me options and customize a reconstruction that was best suited for my body, my history, and unique to me. Dr. Mytien Goldberg is able to understand your history but also foresee what may be needed down the line to best assess what surgical plan is best in the long run. She was able to remove the implant from my breast and give me a brand new breast created by using a DIEP flap (using the tissue from my abdomen). My new breast looks and feels so natural and is finally symmetrical to the left breast. I no longer have to hide the shape and can wear what I want. My abdomen essentially getting a free tummy tuck was a complete bonus! My tummy is tighter and flatter than it has been in years. I’ve never not had a stomach before that it feels great.Dr. Mytien Goldberg was amazing. She was personable, listened well, she was thorough with her time and explanations, and was meticulous with her work. I appreciate the help of Dr. Goldberg and her staff!Thank you Dr. Goldberg!

I will start by saying I appreciate that the office is an all woman office! From the moment I walked into the office I felt welcomed, and greeted. All the office staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The procedure I had done by Dr. Goldberg was a breast reduction. I was scared at first looking into surgeons but with Dr. Goldberg experience I felt motivated to book an appointment. Her procedure was about 4 hours long and I will say the recovery process wasn’t what I expected! Within 5 days of being post op I wasn’t needing to take any pain medication! My swelling went down quick and had minimal bruising and no noticeable bleeding or leakage. I will say if you are hesitant or looking into any procedure please look into booking an appointment with her office! Love all the ladies there!

I love going to Dr. Goldberg! It is so easy to make an appointment. She did my breast implants in 2014 and she just re did them this July in 2023. I also had an open neck lift and chin implant done along with my breast implants in July and everything turned out better than I imagined.

I was diagnosed with right breast carcinoma. I have also had many medical problems which made my treatment more complicated. I was recommended to have a mastectomy but I wanted to reserve my breasts. With another doctor, Dr. Goldberg was able to give me the breasts I loved and they are so symmetrical. I am so happy to have found her and with my results that Dr. Goldberg has given me! She provided me with an easy experience even with such a hard process. She is the most lovely Doctor.SOAD MAKAR

Dr. Goldberg is the BEST! I love having a woman surgeon who understands a woman’s body. She is sensitive and compassionate. She’s very supportive and a terrific Dr. You won’t be disappointed if you choose her for any procedure from Fillers to bigger surgeries. I have had her remove a lipoma from my neck, a revise my scar from a tummy tuck & she just did an ear lope reduction! All great results!

My journey began back in late 2019. On December 10, 2019, I was admitted to Harbor UCLA due to necrotizing fasciitis. I was in the hospital for quite some time, requiring multiple surgeries to save my left upper limb, but most importantly, my life. I had most of my left bicep removed due to the infection that was inside. Fortunately, my right upper extremity was saved. I had “very limited mobility” as you can imagine with the loss of muscle and extensive nerve damage.I am forever grateful to Dr. Goldberg. She has reconstructed my whole bicep and put my extremity back together, literally. After several surgeries, including skin grafts, scare tissue repairs, and nerve repair surgeries… I have mobility back in my wrist, and I have finger extension. I cannot thank Dr. Goldberg and the whole team who helped save my life and my arm enough. Your expertise, professionalism and care you delivered has not only given me function back into my arm but has given me more reasons to live and enjoy all that life brings my way. Words really cannot express what I feel… but I thank you and your team so much!-Eldon Delos Santos

I am so happy to have Dr. Goldberg as my surgeon. She is diligent,patient and a masterful microsurgeon. My case was complex. It involved breast reconstruction via diep flap, lymph node transfer and lymphovenous Bypass to resolve lymphedema from my first Cancer removal surgery. Dr. Goldberg is an excellent listener and offered me options when other surgeons were not interested in pursuing my case. I am thankful for her tenacity and her compassion. I can not leave this review without also thank her excellent team Vanessa and Seline. There professionalism and kindness made this journey so much easier. 💟

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 70 and thought I had no choice but to get a mastectomy and be completely flat chested. I came to Dr. Mytien Goldberg and she informed me that I was a great candidate for an Implant based reconstruction or an autologous tissue based breast reconstruction. I chose to get a Implant based reconstruction and the best part was that it was all done in one surgery! I went directly to implant and did not need any expanders. Of course, there is some pain but it's tolerable. And this whole journey has been worth it for the results. I wish I came to see Dr. Goldberg sooner and didn't wait 4 months to muster up the courage. She put me at ease and relaxed any fears i had about having the surgery and an implant. I'm currently still in my healing process and everything is looking great! I have complete confidence in Dr. Goldberg and would highly recommend her to others, young or old, breast cancer or not.

In addition to her many gifts as a plastic surgeon and microsurgeon, Dr. Goldberg is also a top hand surgeon. Thanks to her, I still HAVE a right hand -- and didn't die from a (freak) staph infection that very easily could've become septic. I was seen by three "top" hand doctors. ONLY Dr. Goldberg correctly diagnosed a life-threatening infection. Her staff jumped into action and contacted her at the hospital between (her long day of) surgeries.She drove back to her BH office (at 6:00 pm!) to see me (a first-time patient), impressed upon me how serious this was, got me admitted to a hospital, found a way to get me onto a tight surgery rotation--and performed surgery on my hand and wrist within 24 hours of first contacting her. Her staff—and Vanessa in particular—deserve five stars for their competence, compassion and accessibility. Dr. Mytien Goldberg is truly a once in a lifetime medical professional: brilliant, skilled and a mighty advocate for her patients. I am so grateful to her. I'd give her ten stars if I could.

I am 65, and had my implants for almost 40 years. I needed to have them removed due to back pain, and searched for a surgeon that specialized in breast construction. I loved my Dr. Jewel that had put them in in 2007, but they no longer accepted insurance payments. Not only did Dr. Goldberg‘s office work with my insurance, but what an absolute great find. not only was she caring, but what an expert she really is. I did a lot of research, and read how happy she can make women that have so many different kind of problems. My experience was truly wonderful, and my results were fantastic! What a happy experience, shared not only with the doctor, but the lovely ladies in her office.

My experience with Dr. Goldberg and her staff was absolutely unmatched. They always went above and beyond to answer any questions/concerns I had. This was my 3rd breast augmentation due to the errors and complications of other surgeons. I had a pretty severe capsular contracture and double bubble. I was considering removing my implants for good until I had my consultation with Dr. Goldberg. She gave me the breasts that I had be dreaming about! I am 7 months post op and beyond happy with my results and so thankful for her and her entire team.

My name is Mary Guthrie, and I am a breast cancer survivor of 16 years. At the time I had bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Recently I was experiencing pain and hardening lumps in the surgical areas . I searched for a doctor experienced in this tile of reconstructive surgery and I was fortunate to find Dr. Mytien Goldberg. Immediately after we met I knew she was the right doctor for what I needed. She made me feel very comfortable and that I deserved the best. She took her time to explain the options available to me and we agreed on the best approach. We settled on replacement my prior saline implants with silicone gel also Galaflex and fat from my own body (small liposuction) The steps she took gave me much natural look and confidence. Surgery is a success.I Highly recommend Dr, Maytien Goldberg and her professional staff ! .They are amazing !!

After going to two different breast surgeons, I chose Dr Goldberg for my breast reduction surgery. Dr Goldberg has a thorough understanding of womens health and approached my case with knowledge and sensitivity so that she could help boost my self confidence and alleviate much of the pain my breasts were causing on my shoulders and back. Since my surgery I have started standing significantly straighter and I have been able to start wearing clothes I never thought I could. The recovery process was very easy. Very little pain for me and within 6 days I was back pretty much back to my regular activities. Dr. Goldberg also has the most magnificent assistants— Celine and Vanessa that answered all of my questions while I was in the office and out and made me feel very supported before and after my surgery. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Goldberg’s office!!

I was fortunate that my Nurse Practitioner read an article about peripheral nerve reconstruction and sent a referral for a consultation with Dr. Mytien Goldberg. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Goldberg, I felt at ease because she listened, understood, and provided me hope for relieving debilitating sensory nerve pain for the first time in over 4 years since my nerve injury. There are doctors and then THERE IS MYTIEN GOLDBERG, MD, truly a ONE of a KIND, not only SKILLED, TALENTED, & EXPERIENCED but also CARING when most of the other orthopedic surgeons just did not provide any hope. I am grateful every second I remember I have become sensory nerve pain-free thanks to Dr. Goldberg!!

My journey started with (2) amazing doctors Ali-Jones my cancer surgeon and Mytien Goldberg my breast reconstruction surgeon in '2020, I call them my Dream-Team. I opted for breast reconstruction Immediately after my surgery which meant a longer surgery time about 9 or 10 hours. But, I knew I was in good hands! Dr. Goldberg made me feel at ease explaining every detail about the procedure in professional and compassionate manner. she was in contact with Dr. Ali-Jones via text letting her know my progress as well as contacting my family after I came out of surgery. My journey will continue as I will have my final surgery this month. I Highly Recommend Dr Goldberg ;she is definitely 5 Star. Thanks, to you and your staff for making my journey a Pleasant Experience!!

Dr. Goldberg performed reconstructive surgery alongside my surgeon for my breast cancer treatment in 2020. Her staff was wonderful to work with, and made it a point to follow up with me after surgery just to see how I was feeling, even giving me their personal cell phone number in case I had any questions or concerns. My experience with Dr. Goldberg and her staff was wonderful from beginning to end, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering her services!

The services that I have received from Dr. Goldberg are excellent. I have had the migraine for years. Dr. Goldberg has given me the Botox treatments which have resolved my headache migraine. The latest treatment that I received from Dr. Goldberg, was the Microneedling or so called “Vampire Facial!” I start noticing more vibrant, youthful skin within the first week: my skin tone tighter, even-toned, younger-looking skin! Not only Dr. Goldberg gave me the best treatment, she also follow up my health exam by face-time me daily for the first four days after the post procedure. Dr. Goldberg ensures that her patient is satisfied with the result of her treatment. It is difficult to find the best doctor, who has the combination of personal touch and delicate care/kindness for a patient as a person with the outstanding quality of surgical care. It is Dr. Goldberg, who has both these qualities. Dr. Goldberg and her staff are friendly, kind, and patient. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad that I choose her as my personal surgeon. I gave her expertise with the overall experience/treatments/kindness and her staff FIVE stars! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a specialist!

Case Study

What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) is a medically indicated procedure that reduces the size of a woman’s breasts, decreases the weight on their shoulders, chest, and upper back, and also creates a more contoured lifted appearance. Additionally, this procedure can help reduce breast asymmetry, which will result in a more balanced aesthetic.

With this procedure, women will feel more confident in themselves and how they look. No longer will they worry about the unwanted attention and stares from strangers or the way their large breasts get in the way and keep them from the activities they love.

After a breast reduction, you’ll be able to enjoy living a life free of back and neck pain caused by your overly large breasts. In short, you’ll be able to live the life you want.

Why Choose Dr. Goldberg?

Dr. Mytien Goldberg is a leading female plastic surgeon in Long Beach who specializes in Breast reconstruction and breast reconstruction revision. Recognized by her peers as one of the most skilled microsurgeon, she is also known for her attention to detail, high-caliber surgical skills and beautiful, natural results. She has been in practice for over 10 years and is a faculty member with the division of plastic surgery at UCLA David Geffen School of medicine. She was awarded the teacher of the year by UCLA chief residents for her mentorship and teaching.

For many women in southern California and around the country, Dr. Mytien Goldberg is the plastic surgeon of choice for breast reconstruction, revision, and correction procedures.

You can schedule a consultation with Dr. Goldberg here.

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain or discomfort.

Once the anesthesia has been administered, Dr. Goldberg will make the incisions in your breasts. She will remove excess breast tissue and fat; if needed, liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat on the side of the chest and armpit areas.

The remaining breast tissue and fat will be reshaped to give a natural aesthetic appearance. Any excess skin will then be removed, and the nipple and areola will be repositioned. Lastly, the incisions will be closed.

GalaFLEX® scaffolding (a supporting mesh material) will be added to act as an internal bra to provide better structure and support.

What Incisions Are Used for Breast Reduction Surgery?

There are two types of incisions commonly used for breast reduction surgery:

  • Lollipop incision, where the incision is made around each areola and then extends down the front of the breast, from the areola to the bottom of the breast
  • Anchor incision, which starts as a lollipop incision but adds a horizontal incision at the bottom crease (inframammary fold) of each breast

How Long Will Surgery Take?

The actual breast reduction procedure can take two to four hours to complete, though you should plan on being there for longer to account for the time it takes to administer the anesthesia and for the anesthesia to wear off.

How Long Does Breast Reduction Recovery Take?

You will be sore for the first few days after your breast reduction procedure. This is completely normal and to be expected. Medication can be taken to lessen any pain you may experience. Additionally, you will have some swelling and bruising in the surgical areas for the first week or two, though these will dissipate on their own.

While you will be given more exact postoperative instructions, you will want to plan to rest your body for two to four weeks. During this time, you should get up and move around a little to help speed up the recovery, but you should keep your activity to a minimum: slow walks and light stretching.

During the first month of your recovery, you should not wear underwire bras, opting instead for a surgical bra or compression garment. While you will have scars, since this is an invasive procedure, your breast reduction scars will fade over time.

In total, it usually takes patients six weeks to fully recover from their breast reduction surgery and feel back to normal, though with a lighter weight on their chest.

What Results Can Be Expected From Breast Reduction Surgery?

After your breast reduction, you will have more manageable and smaller breasts. You will be able to wear the clothing that you’ve always wanted to wear but couldn’t. You will also find yourself feeling lighter and freer without any of the pain and discomfort that you may have felt with the larger breast size. For most women who underwent breast reduction, it will be the first time in their life where they can wear a top without a supportive bra.

More than anything, though, you will feel a sense of comfort in your own skin and the way you look. You’ll now be able to go out and enjoy the activities that you could only watch from the sidelines before.

How Much Does a Breast Reduction Cost?

Most major medical insurance plans cover breast reduction procedures. However, the medical policy may have weight requirements of breast tissue being removed (depending on the patient’s BMI and Body surface area).

Furthermore, the patient will need to have persistent clinical symptoms for more than six months. This includes:

  • Pain in the neck
  • Pain in the shoulders
  • Pain in the upper back
  • Painful kyphosis documented by X-rays
  • Pain/discomfort/ulceration from bra straps cutting into shoulders
  • Skin breakdown (severe soft tissue infection, tissue necrosis, ulceration hemorrhage) from overlying breast tissue

Some patients will elect to undergo breast reduction without involving their medical insurance. Like any cosmetic surgery, the price of a breast reduction varies with each patient and procedure. The price is dependent on various factors, including the extent of the treatment and whether any other procedures are being combined with breast reduction.

At your consultation, you will be provided an accurate cost estimate for the procedure.

Is Financing Available?

Yes. We finance through CareCredit® and Prosper-American Healthcare Lending. However, if you are not looking to work with an outside lender, we accept cash, Visa, Master Card, and American Express. Checks are only accepted for deposits.

Can I Combine My Breast Reduction With Other Procedures?

While many women who struggle with overly large breasts choose to simply undergo breast reduction surgery by itself, other women choose to combine their reduction with other surgical procedures so that they can achieve even more dynamic results. One of the most common combination procedures is liposuction of the chest. Other procedures that can be combined with breast reduction surgery include:
