BREAST REDUCTION

ABOUT

Reduction Mammaplasty also known as Breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat and skin to achieve a desired breast size that is proportional to the body size. Large breast can impact an individual’s livelihood. Patients with large breasts often have physical discomfort on their back, chest, shoulder and neck, effecting their livelihood. This procedure helps treat pain and discomfort associated with Macromastia (Abnormal enlargement of large tissues in excess of normal proportion in females) and gynecomastia(Abnormal enlargement of large tissues in excess of normal proportion in males). Individuals can move freely and find comfort in their skin.
