Overview
A lot of women have breasts that they feel are unnaturally large for their body type and as a result feel very self-conscious. Breast reduction surgery tackles this issue and reduces the size of the breasts to make them in proportion with the rest of the body
Breast reduction surgery is a safe and effective way to reduce the size of a patient’s breasts. Although women often want to have their breasts reduced for aesthetic reasons, it can also be due to the discomfort that large, heavy breasts cause. Problems such as back pain, shoulder pain and posture problems can all be greatly alleviated with breast reduction surgery.
