Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure to decrease the size of the breasts, by removing fat, breast tissue and skin, making them smaller, lighter and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola. Women with large breasts may have some problems due to this excess weight, such as back and neck pain, skin irritations under the breast, and breathing problems. The purpose of reduction mammoplasty is to provide a woman with smaller breasts that are more proportional to the rest of her body.
