Considering a breast reduction?
A breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammaplasty, is a surgery
where breast tissue and skin are removed to reduce the size of the breasts
while also re-shaping and lifting them. This surgery can not only help to
alleviate some of the symptoms associated with large breasts such as
back, neck, and breast pain, but also lead to a more youthful looking breast
shape and size.
Most women who seek a breast reduction usually have a few things in
common.
The following issues are often described by women who might benefit
from breast reduction surgery:
• You feel as if your breasts are too large or disproportional to your
body frame
• Your breasts are heavy and pendulous and your areola and/or nipples
point downwards or seem much lower on your chest than you would like
• You have disproportionate breast sizes, where one breast is much larger
than the other breast
• You have neck, back, upper shoulder, or breast pain secondary to your
large or heavy breasts.
