What is Breast Reduction

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, reduces the size and improves the shape and placement of the breasts.

The procedure aims to alleviate physical discomfort—such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain—improve posture, and enhance aesthetic shape.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

The Benefits of Breast Reduction

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) offers significant physical and emotional benefits by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to relieve chronic pain and improve body proportion.

  • Clothing Fits Better:
    Many styles of clothing do not cater to a larger bust line. A breast reduction will create a more balanced hourglass shape that will boost a woman’s confidence.
  • Reduces Back Pain:
    Heavy breasts can cause back pain and indentations in the shoulders from bra straps.
  • Improves Physical Ability:
    Large, heavy breasts often impede performance in athletics as well as routine physical activities. A breast reduction can increase mobility and comfort to improve the overall quality of life for patients.
