Balancing Form and Function
Balancing Form and Function
Many women seek relief from the physical and emotional burden of overly large breasts.
Disproportionately large breasts can lead to chronic pain, poor posture, skin irritation, and limitations in physical activities. Breast reduction surgery offers a solution by removing excess breast tissue and skin, resulting in smaller, more proportionate breasts that are also lifted and reshaped.
What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to decrease breast size and improve shape. Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of reduction required and the specific technique used.
Treatable Conditions
Disproportionately large breasts (macromastia)
Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
Poor posture due to breast weight and limitations in physical activities
