What Is a Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to remove fat, glandular tissue, and excess skin to create smaller, more proportionately sized breasts. Often, this procedure reduces physical and emotional discomfort typically associated with the weight of excessively large breasts.
Breast reduction can deliver natural-looking results that offer benefits like:
- Reduced neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Increased energy and stamina
- Less irritation and chafing under bra straps
- Increased self-confidence and renewed self-image
- Smaller, more youthful-looking breasts
- Improved appearance in clothing
You might want to add breast reduction to your mommy makeover for full-body rejuvenation, which can also include:
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Labiaplasty
- Arm lift
- Thigh lift
What Are the Benefits of a Breast Reduction?
Enlarged, heavy breasts can make it harder for you to find a comfortable sleeping position, buy flattering clothes that fit you well, and do challenging workouts. However, the negative emotions and self-image associated with overly large breasts can be as significant as the physical issues. A breast reduction might provide the solution you’re looking for if you have experienced:
- Feelings that your breasts are too large
- Limited physical activities due to large breasts
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight
- Shoulder indentations from bra straps
- Skin irritation beneath breasts
Breast reduction can help you achieve the proportions you’ve always wanted. When your physical and mental discomfort are no longer holding you back, you may discover new options that will further improve your appearance, well-being, and overall quality of life.
