Researchers will compare participants who receive standard anesthesia and pain treatment with participants who receive standard anesthesia and pain treatment plus an SPSIP block. Participants will: * Have planned bilateral breast reduction surgery under general anesthesia * Be randomly assigned to the SPSIP block group or the control group * Receive standard local anesthetic infiltration during surgery and standard pain treatment after surgery * Have their pain score and pain medicine use recorded during the f
