Breast Reduction
What is a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. This procedure is often sought by individuals who experience physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain due to overly large breasts. It can also improve posture, make physical activity easier, and enhance body confidence.
