What happens during breast reduction surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Reducing/reshaping: 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. Best wishes.

Smaller & lighter: You make the breast smaller, lighter and more uplifted. There are several different methods to do this, surgically. Most women are very please with the improvement in their breast shape and size, and also in the improvement in their posture, should strap grooving, and neck & back issues that are related to breast weight.
