Breast Reduction

A breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size of the breasts. The goal is to achieve a more proportionate breast size relative to the body, alleviate physical discomfort (like back, neck, and shoulder pain), and improve aesthetic appearance. It’s commonly done for both medical and cosmetic reasons. The procedure typically involves making incisions around the areola, vertically down the breast, and sometimes under the breast to remove tissue and reshape the breasts. Recovery can take several weeks, and results are usually long-lasting.
