Breast Reduction: Breast reduction surgery tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations performed. During this operation, “excess” breast tissue and skin is removed. The breasts themselves are lifted on the chest wall. This operation tends to help patients with neck, back, shoulder discomfort and may help patients with posture as well. Of course, potential risks should also be considered. Best wishes.

Yes: Breast reduction surgery not only reduces the size of the breasts, but also lifts them. This often helps with back pain.

Yes: Almost anyone can have a breast reduction. Most patients have symptoms of back, neck, and shoulder pain. Many of the procedures are covered through insurance. If not approved by insurance the cost is between $6, 000 and $7, 000.
