Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and skin to reduce the size of large, heavy breasts. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing physical discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, due to overly large breasts, as well as those looking to improve the overall shape and proportion of their figure. During the surgery, the excess tissue is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a more balanced and youthful appearance. The areola and nipple are also repositioned to a more natural height. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, breast reduction can significantly improve quality of life by relieving physical discomfort. Patients experience a dramatic improvement in both comfort and appearance following the procedure.
Key Benefits of Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery reshapes and reduces breast size to create a lighter, more balanced, and comfortable silhouette. This procedure relieves physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts while enhancing posture, mobility, and everyday confidence. It’s ideal for women who want freedom from neck and back pain, bra strap grooves, and self-consciousness related to breast size.
