Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight (from back and neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing problems). Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. And unusually large breasts can make a woman or a teenage girl feel extremely selfconscious.
Breast reduction is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body. The final size depends on the expectations of the patient, and the surgeonī advice.
If you're considering breast reduction, this information will help provide a basic understanding of what a reduction mammoplasty can and cannot achieve. Because each individual patient is different no amount of written information can replace a personal consultation.
