Breast reduction
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, lighter, and more comfortable breast size. It can alleviate physical issues like back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture problems caused by overly large breasts. The surgeon carefully reshapes the remaining tissue for a natural look and may reposition the nipples if needed. The procedure typically involves incisions around the areola and down the breast, with a recovery period during which swelling and discomfort are managed. Breast reduction can improve comfort and confidence for many women.
