Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess fat and skin from the breasts to reduce their size. The aim of the operation is to create a natural shape and retain as much function and sensation in the nipples as possible. Women have breast reduction surgery for a variety of reasons such as particularly large breasts which can cause a number of physical and psychological problems. For these women breast reduction surgery can significantly improve the quality of their life.

Physical problems can include, back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, poor posture, excessive sweating, rashes and infection under the breasts, marks or grooves on shoulders from bra straps or the inability to take part in exercise or sporting activity.
