Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This procedure is often recommended for individuals experiencing back, neck, or shoulder pain due to large breasts, or for those who want a more balanced figure. In addition to physical relief, breast reduction can improve posture, mobility, and clothing fit. The result is a more manageable breast size that complements your natural proportions. It is both a functional and aesthetic procedure with life-changing benefits.
Breast reduction is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin through carefully placed incisions that minimize visible scarring. The nipples may be repositioned to align with the new breast shape, and the areolas can be resized if desired. Internal sutures provide support and help shape the breasts into a more lifted, symmetrical contour. The technique is tailored to each patient’s goals to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results that enhance both comfort and appearance.
Breast reduction can relieve chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, bra strap grooving, skin irritation, and posture issues caused by large breasts.
