Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery can be performed for cosmetic purposes but is most often considered a medical necessity when large breasts cause back, neck, and chest pain, headaches, and skin rashes. Breast reduction can also help improve a patient’s confidence and active daily lifestyle.

What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to give you the aesthetics you are looking for to make you live more comfortably in your body. It involves removing breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to create a lighter, more proportionate shape that feels more comfortable.
The procedure repositions the nipples and areolas as needed, and in many cases, liposuction refines the outer chest for a more natural contour.
Many patients choose to combine breast reduction with complementary procedures such as a:
Breast Lift: Further refines shape and nipple position
Tummy Tuck: Slims the waistline and repairs abdominal muscles
Mommy Makeover: Customized surgery to reshape the breasts and abdomen following pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or weight fluctuations
A reduction may be performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, providing symptom relief and aesthetic improvement.
Benefits of Breast Reduction
Pain Relief: Relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain, including bra-strap grooving.
Movement: More effortless movement and exercise.
Improved Posture: Improved posture and endurance.
Better Clothing and Bra Fit: Better clothing and bra fit, with more style options.
Reduced Skin Irritation: Reduction in skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts.
