BREAST REDUCTION

Is Breast Reduction Right For Me?

Breast reduction surgery is a very personal decision that can address both physical and emotional concerns associated with overly large breasts. 

Ideal candidates for breast reduction may experience: 

• Discomfort or dissatisfaction with the size of their breasts.
• Difficulty engaging in physical activities due to breast size.
• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain attributed to breast weight.
• Shoulder indentations from bra straps or skin irritation beneath the breast crease.



Breast Reduction Benefits

• Pain alleviation: Large breasts can strain the back, neck, and shoulders, leading to chronic pain and pinched nerves. By reducing breast size and weight, surgery can alleviate discomfort and correct posture.
• Improved mobility: Oversized breasts can hinder movement and cause discomfort during physical activity. By decreasing breast size, reduction surgery makes exercise more manageable.
• Decreased irritation: Large breasts can cause chafing under the breasts, but a reduction surgery may help minimize rubbing and irritation.
