Breast Reduction

What is a breast reduction?
A breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is a common aesthetic procedure that reduces the size of breasts and reshapes breasts so that they are more proportionate to the rest of the body and are no longer a source of physical discomfort.

Why get a breast reduction procedure?
Women who seek breast reduction often have had children, are overweight, have a predisposition for large, disproportionate breasts, or are sensitive to estrogen. Large breasts often run in the family, inherited from mothers and grandmothers. If you want to reduce the size of your breasts, a breast reduction may be right for you. If you are a male seeking a breast reduction, see gynecomastia surgery.

A breast reduction procedure is a great option if you have any of the below concerns:

Your breasts are too large for your body frame.
You have heavy breasts with your nipples pointing downward.
You have backaches, neck aches, or skin irritation under your breasts.
You have difficulty breathing and notice grooves in your shoulders from your bra straps.
You have poor posture or numbness in parts of your breasts and upper chest from excessive breast weight.
You have one breast that is much larger than the other.
It is difficult to find dresses, blouses, tops, and bras that fit.
Below are some of the benefits of a breast reduction:

Decrease the size of your breasts and enhance the shape of them
Improve your body’s proportions
Alleviate neck, back, and shoulder pain
Make it easier to breathe and exercise
Feel more confident in more clothing
Relieve the physical and emotional burden of overly large breasts
