MAMMOPLASTY
The act of reducing the size of a woman’s breasts is known as reduction mammoplasty, or breast reduction surgery. This surgical procedure consists of removing excess fat from the breast, excess glandular tissue, and any extra skin in the area to reduce the size of the breast to a more proportionate, comfortable size.
Why seek Breast Reduction Surgery?
Large breasts can cause a woman to feel self-conscious about her body as well as create a number of undue health issues: chronic back pain, deep creases in the shoulder from the straps of a bra, skin irritation such as rashes underneath the breasts, etc. Large breasted women can also have a difficult time with physical activities. This is another reason many women with large, pendulous breasts seek out breast reduction surgery. Breast tissue can be heavy, and having large breasts can make activities such as running, jumping, etc., difficult. Not only can breast reduction limit the conditions listed above, but it can also help a woman lead an active, more physically fit life.
Who is suitable?
- An adult with fully developed breasts
- Physically and psychologically fit and healthy
- Concerned by the size or shape of at least one of their breasts, either for aesthetic or comfort reasons
- Have realistic expectations of what can be achieved by surgery
