What is breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgery that involves removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to obtain a breast size that is more in proportion to your body. This can relieve the discomfort that comes with having large breasts.

Why do you need breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is for women with big breasts who are concerned about problems like:

• Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain that alleviates only after taking medicines.
• Chronic rash or inflammation of the skin beneath the breasts
• Neural pain

How does your surgeon perform breast reduction surgery?

The method used to lower the size of your breasts may differ. The following are the procedure:

The areola and the nipple:

-Normally, they stay linked to the breast.

-If your breasts are large, then they need to be removed and reattached at a higher location as a skin graft.
