Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty)
What is it?
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to make the breasts
smaller, lighter, and more lifted.
Why do people choose this surgery?
Women with large, heavy breasts often suffer from:
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Rashes or infections under the breast folds
- Groove marks from bra straps
- Difficulty exercising or sleeping
- Low self-confidence or poor posture
What does the surgery involve?
- Involves making incisions and removes extra Breast skin & tissue.
- The nipple is moved to a higher, more natural position (while keeping sensation and blood supply intact in most cases).
