Are women happy with results of reduction mammaplasty?

Most are: The majority of my patients who get breast reduction tell me that they wish they had the procedure 5 years earlier. Most note significant improvement in the back, neck and shoulder pain that led them to have a breast reduction.

Almost always...: These are among the happiest patients a plastic surgeon will have. Breast reduction is usually done for problems such as neck and back pain, shoulder grooving, and rashes under the breasts. These patients are generally so happy to have the weight removed that they do not mind the scars that result from these operations.
