Breast Reduction

A breast reduction surgery is often performed not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to relieve pain and restore health. Overly large breasts can often cause neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as diminish the desire to exercise.

A breast reduction procedure removes excess skin and breast tissue, especially along the sides of the breasts near the arms, while leaving tissue in the middle of the breasts to maintain the patient's desired cleavage. The areolae are reduced in size to be made more uniform and attractive with the nipples positioned further up the breast, leaving a youthful teardrop shape beneath.

In some cases, liposuction can also be used along the sides of the breast, creating a tighter contour to the sides and breasts. Liposuction makes the breast stand on its own, rather than the lovely contour being overwhelmed by extra fat and skin along the sides.

Breast reduction surgery has a very high satisfaction rate, despite scars left from the procedure. A beautiful aesthetic balance is brought to the breasts, most neck and shoulder pain is relieved, and self-confidence is restored.
