Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery reduces breast volume by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the remaining breast to achieve a more proportionate size and contour.

Large or heavy breasts may contribute to physical discomfort or limit certain daily activities. Breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce breast volume while reshaping and lifting the remaining breast tissue.

The nipple and areola may also be repositioned when appropriate.
