If you are a woman with overly large breasts, a reduction mammaplasty can offer significant benefits in your level of comfort as well as improve your appearance and self-image. The discomfort from excessively heavy breasts weighing down upon your shoulders will be greatly relieved. You will experience a new sense of freedom in your exercise and physical activity and an ability to wear a wider variety of clothing.

Breast reduction is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue and skin, making your breasts smaller, firmer, higher and more proportional to the rest of your body. Enlarged aerola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) may be reduced and repositioned as well.

Mastopexy is a similar procedure for breasts which have become loose and saggy and the nipple-areola complex has shifted downward. The breast is lifted and tightened without a significant amount of tissue being removed.

Of all plastic surgery procedures performed, breast reduction ranks among the highest in patient satisfaction.
