Most women who undergo breast reduction are very pleased with the results.
Tired of living with uncomfortable breasts?
Disproportionately large breasts can cause some women to have both health and emotional
problems. In addition to self image issues, you may also experience physical pain
and discomfort.
Exceptionally large breasts cause many problems — physical, as well as emotional.
The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life.
The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large
pendulous breasts is as important an issue to many women as the physical discomfort
and pain.
Known by its clinical name, mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery removes excess
breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a proportionate breast size that
is proportionate with your body and to reduce the discomfort associated with overly
large breasts. Breast reduction surgery may help improve your self-image and self-confidence,
as well as your ability to participate in physical activities.
