Breast Reduction

Reduction Mammaplasty

Breast reduction surgery entails the removal of skin and tissue from the breast, followed by reshaping and elevating to create a smaller, more proportionate bust size.

What results should I expect after breast reduction surgery?

The results of breast reduction surgery will be long-lasting. Your new breast size should help relieve you from the pain and physical limitations experienced prior to breast reduction.

The immediate results of breast reduction surgery can include:

  • Reduced breast size and volume
  • Improved breast shape
  • Relief from physical symptoms such as back and neck pain, skin irritation and grooving from bra straps
  • Improved self-esteem and body image

However, over time your breasts can change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors and gravity.
