Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
If you feel that your breasts are too large and their weight is
causing physical problems to your neck, back, shoulder, circulation, or even
breathing problems, you may be a candidate for a breast reduction. The weight
may also cause discomfort as a result of bra straps cutting into or irritating
the skin. Even if physical discomfort is not a problem, you may feel awkward and
self- conscious with the large size of your breasts in proportion to the rest of
your body, leading to restriction of your physical activity or the way you
dress.
Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical
procedure done to give you smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts. You can also
reduce the size of and change the shape of the areola or nipples. It may be
combined with other procedures on the breast such as breast lift (reduction
mastopexy).
The aim of reduction mammoplasty is to restore the proportion
of the bust by decreasing the size of the breasts, bringing the nipples to a
higher position, and reducing the size of the areolae . It is also done to
achieve symmetry when breasts are disproportionate in size and shape due to
congenital defects or after surgery.
Breast reduction surgery can be performed at any age, but waiting until
breast development is complete is recommended. It is not recommended for women
who desire to breastfeed.
