What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more proportional breast size. This surgery is often sought by individuals experiencing physical discomfort, pain, or other medical issues due to large breasts. The procedure can alleviate symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty finding well-fitting clothing.
