Breast reduction is a popular procedure for women whose breasts are large and heavy enough to cause them psychological or physical discomfort. This procedure, also referred to as reduction mammaplasty, minimizes the size of the breast overall, and creates more attractive, firmer proportions.
\nBreast reduction procedures can be performed for cosmetic reasons, for medical reasons, or for some combination of both. In cases in which the reduction is necessary to relieve pain, discomfort, and other physical problems, it may be covered by the patient\u2019s insurance plan.<\/p>\n
If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms, a breast reduction may be right for you:
\n\u2022 Neck, shoulder, and back pain
\n\u2022 Embarrassment and unwanted comments
\n\u2022 Limited range of motion due to breast size
\n\u2022 Deep grooves in the shoulders from your bra
\n\u2022 Difficulty finding clothing that fits<\/p>\n
The breast reduction procedure involves making an anchor-shaped incision, which goes along the underside of the breast, in the mammary crease, and extends up to the nipple and around the areola (the darkened area of skin surrounding the nipple. The surgeon then removes excess fat, skin, and tissue, and repositions the nipple higher up on the newly reshaped breast).<\/p>\n
