Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for women with very large breasts causing them medical or psychological problems.

Women with very large breasts may experience a variety of medical problems. Common complaint is back and neck pain, breathing problems and irritation of the skin under the breasts. Breast reduction will seek cure for some of these symptoms by reducing the size of large breasts. Women with very large breasts may also be extremely self-conscious and reducing the size of the breasts will help them in this aspect.

The procedure removes breast tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller and firmer.

Breast reduction is normally safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. However, as with any surgery, there is some risk involved and possible complications. Please check with your surgeons about the details of these risks and complications.

Some women can return to work in about two weeks and others may take as long as four to six weeks depending on the nature of their job.

Most of the patients are satisfied with the results of their surgery and most of them get rid of the symptoms associated with very large breasts.
