Breast Reduction
Have smaller, lighter, more natural-shaped breasts.
Being out of proportion due to oversized breasts can cause quite a few problems, including neck, back and shoulder pain as well as skin irritation. It’s a problem that not only affects how you look, but also how you live. You can be limited in the types of clothing you wear as well as the activities you perform.
Technically called reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction involves the removal of excess breast tissue to reshape and lift the breasts. It’s sought by many women to relieve the mental distress, physical restrictions and painful strain on other parts of the body caused by excessively heavy breasts.
