Breast Reduction


Nearly all patients who seek breast reduction suffer from a variety of physical challenges and medical problems that are brought about by breasts that are disproportionately large for their bodies. Excessive breast size can also be associated with decreased sense of attractiveness and self confidence. Medical conditions and problems usually associated with large breasts, are back and neck pain, skin irritation, skeletal deformities, breathing problems, shoulder indentations due to tight bra straps and poor posture. Breast reduction in women ,experiencing such physical problems, is especially rewarding, as outside of an aesthetic improvement, the results of the procedure give them a sense of freedom and increased self confidence.

What is Reduction Mammoplasty?   

Mammoplasty or breast reduction is a surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the breasts, thereby reducing their size to be in proportion with the rest of the body. In some cases it can help achieve a better breast shape and nipple position. Nipple size can also be reduced by means of Mammoplasty.
In most cases, a breast reduction is perfomed in combination with a breast uplift, as removing just excess tissue and skin, will result in low set droopy breasts, which will need further correction.
