What does breast reduction resolve?
Very large breasts can cause back, neck and shoulder strain, bra-strap grooving, skin irritation and limits on exercise. Breast reduction removes excess gland, fat and skin, and repositions the nipple-areola complex for a lighter, firmer, more proportionate bust, often relieving those symptoms.
Technique and scars
Depending on volume and sagging, a vertical or “anchor” incision pattern is chosen, always seeking the most discreet scar possible for each case. Blood supply and, when possible, sensation and breastfeeding potential are preserved — topics discussed at the consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
Women with large breasts causing physical strain or dissatisfaction, in good health and with realistic expectations. Age, skin quality and breastfeeding plans are assessed.
