Understanding Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. The surgery aims to achieve smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts while relieving physical discomfort.
This procedure is often performed to address chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, poor posture, skin irritation under the breasts, and limitations in physical activity.
Breast reduction also improves breast shape and nipple position, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
