Dr. Keith Blechman is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a focused practice in breast reduction and breast lift surgery. He performs a high volume of breast reductions annually — both for medical necessity and cosmetic improvement — and is experienced in insurance-covered breast reduction for patients with symptomatic macromastia. His technique eliminates the need for prescription pain medication post-operatively through the use of long-acting nerve blocks, reducing recovery burden and improving the patient experience. He also does not use surgical drains in breast reductions and breast lifts. Dr. Blechman's aesthetic philosophy prioritizes natural proportionality, long-lasting results, and minimal visible scarring. Patients consistently report relief from chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, along with high satisfaction with their final appearance.

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Blechman and his entire office staff. Clear communication all the way through from my patient coordinator to his P.A. staff. Thank you again everyone and I cannot recommend this team enough!!!
If you're looking for a self assured, no holds barred surgeon Dr. B is your guy. From the first consultation to the day. of surgery there's little doubt he knows what he is doing. I felt very confident (even though I was still nervous) that he would take care of me. I had a bi-lateral breast reduction with Liposuction (lipo is cosmetic, not covered by. insurance) My goal was to go from a 40DD to a C cup. I'm only one-week post-op but after my first post-op visit i could tell

The nurses after my surgery were amazing and cared for me as well. The surgery was smooth and I had no complications. I’d recommend Dr. Blechman and his team 100 times over again. I love my results and I’m so happy I went through with my breast reduction surgery.
Dr. Blechman was amazing! I have never felt more listened to by a surgeon. I had a complication with my back problem a few weeks before my surgery date but he spoke with my orthopedist and everything turned out fine.
I am a non-binary person who had chest masculinizing top surgery with Dr. Blechman. Dr Blechman and his team have a great system in place to ensure that I had the exact amount of attention that I required. The entire staff (both administrative and medical) are responsive to all questions no matter how small you may feel they are and are VERY clear and helpful about the process every step of the way both in the months/weeks leading up to the surgery and after. Everyone is kind,

Starting from the consultation him and his staff were very thoughtful and considerate answering every question I had while making me feel heard in the process. As far as the actual surgical results I am over the moon with the outcome and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Blechman is a very talented surgeon, my scars are even and my nipples

I knew what to expect every step of the way due to the great patient care and found the doctor and team to be very responsive. I am extremely happy with the results of the surgery and am grateful for the doctor and entire team!
I can’t thank Dr Blechman and the staff at Top Surgery Specialists enough for the magnificent experience and even better results of my top surgery. The consultation was extremely thorough and clear, and all my questions were answered; the preparation leading up to surgery was exquisitely specific, from the pre- and post-op timelines to the list of items needed; and the day of surgery went about as smoothly as one could hope for with the surgical staff.
To boot, Dr B left me a

I was concerned about large scars, but Dr. Blechman listened to my preferences and performed a flawless keyhole procedure. The outcome exceeded my expectations! His team was always replying to my messages quickly, and they were kind and patient throughout the entire process. A huge thank you to Dr. Blechman and his
