What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a size that is more comfortable and proportionate to the body. It is commonly chosen by women who experience persistent neck pain, back strain, shoulder grooving, or skin irritation due to heavy breasts. The procedure not only reduces physical discomfort but also improves posture, movement, and overall body balance, allowing patients to feel lighter, more confident, and at ease in daily life.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Breast reduction may be suitable for individuals who experience physical or emotional discomfort caused by excessively large breasts. It is often recommended for those with chronic pain, difficulty during physical activity, or irritation beneath the breast fold. Candidates should be in good general health, have realistic expectations, and seek long term comfort rather than cosmetic change alone.

How does the procedure work?
The procedure begins with a careful assessment of breast size, shape, and symmetry. Excess tissue and skin are removed in a controlled manner to reduce volume while reshaping the breast for a natural contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to maintain harmony with the new breast size. Throughout the surgery, attention is given to preserving sensation, improving support, and achieving results that feel comfortable and natural to the patient.
Recovery and Aftercare
After breast reduction surgery, wearing the recommended support bra is essential. It helps reduce swelling, supports healing tissues, and maintains the new breast shape during the early recovery phase.
Mild soreness and swelling are normal in the first few days. Adequate rest and limited upper body movement allow the incisions to heal properly and reduce strain on the surgical area.
As healing progresses, daily activities can be resumed gradually. Following aftercare instructions and attending follow up visits helps ensure lasting comfort, balanced results, and smooth recovery.
