The Breast Reduction procedure, also called Reduction Mammoplasty, is performed to help reduce the strain of overly large breasts and/or improve the overall body proportion. Women with disproportionately large breasts often suffer from a great degree of physical discomfort in addition to feeling self-conscious about their body proportion. It can be difficult to find clothing that fits appropriately. Pain in the shoulders, neck, and back are common among women with overly larger breasts, as are painful indentations and grooves in the skin from bras.
The breast reduction procedure can create smaller and lighter breasts that make it easier to enjoy a more active lifestyle. If you are interested in learning more about the breast reduction procedure and recovery process, and to find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.
