Breast Reduction

Women with large breasts experience more than dissatisfaction with body image—they may experience physical pain and discomfort. Overly large breasts and the weight of excess breast tissue can cause pain and physical conditions that impair a woman's 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.

If you have large breasts that limit your physical activity and cause pain, breast reduction may be right for you. Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with a woman's body and to alleviate the discomfort. In general, breast reduction surgery will not only correct the functional symptoms associated with large breasts, but will result in better proportional breasts, enhancing a woman's body image and self-confidence.
