Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also known as mammoplasty is a procedure to reduce the overall size and weight of your breasts. The procedure involves removing excessive weight from your breasts to reduce them to a more manageable size and in most cases, giving them a lift at the same time.

Women seek breast reduction surgery because the weight from overly large, heavy breasts can cause physical pain and discomfort. In some cases, the excessive weight of the breasts can cause neck/back pain and pain from bra straps digging into your shoulders. Besides that some people seek this procedure to feel less self-conscious about the size of their breasts, to improve self-confidence and to make it easier to choose clothing. Having lighter breasts can also make it easier to exercise and carry out your daily activities.

Most women who seek breast reduction surgery would like to reduce the size and weight of their breasts for the following reasons:

• physical pain – including neck/back pain and from bra straps
• activities – large, heavy breasts can make it difficult to exercise and carry out your daily activities/work
• self consciousness – some people do not want to draw unwanted attention to overly large breasts
• clothes/holidays – large breasts can make it difficult to choose clothes and can affect your enjoyment of holidays
• cosmetic reasons
