Reduction mammoplasty – Breast reduction surgery

Oversized breasts are not just an aesthetic concern, but also place burden on the spine. More often than not, women with enlarged breasts experience pain in the neck and back, have bad posture, reduced mobility, can’t practice sports and suffer from skin inflammation in the fold below the breast.

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure for removing large amounts of breast tissue to reduce the burden placed on the spine and improve posture.
