Having large, heavy breasts makes many women uncomfortable both physically and psychologically. The excess weight of large breasts may cause back and neck pain, skin irritation, skeletal deformities, even breathing difficulties. Many teenaged girls and women are also extremely self conscious about the size of their breasts.
For women with these problems, breast reduction surgery can bring significant relief. Indeed, it is one of the most successful and immediately satisfying of aesthetic procedures because it allows patients to enjoy a more active life and greater self-esteem.
The breast reduction procedure removes fat, glandular tissue and skin to create smaller, better shaped lifted breasts. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is attractive breasts that are in proportion to the rest of your body.
