Breast Reduction: The benefits of breast reduction include an improvement in back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, and rashes from moisture between the hanging breast and upper abdomen. Most women find exercise much more comfortable and enjoy not having to shop for customized bras.

Immediate benefits: Most women are extremely satisfied with their breast reduction results as the weight of their formerly heavy breasts is literally lifted off of their shoulders. Back and neck pain, sweating and rashes under the breasts are gone. Women can wear clothing that now matches the tops to the bottoms. Exercise is much more comfortable as well. Biggest lament- "should have done it sooner"!

Many: 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.

Many: Most woman who seek a reduction in their breast size also wish an improvement in the shape of the breast and position of the nipple/ areolae. Typically, back, neck, shoulder and breast pain limit activities and require wearing strong sports bras or two bras. After surgery, many of the discomforts are alleviated and the selection of clothing is markedly enhanced.

Hello, with the removal of excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts, many patients are able to achieve a more well-proportioned body. Often, breast reduction is also performed to alleviate the physical discomfort and emotional difficulties caused by large breasts allowing women to feel more confident about their physical appearance.
