What is breast reduction?
Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportional size. It alleviates physical symptoms like back pain, neck pain, and shoulder grooving while improving body contour.
How is it performed?
Under general anesthesia, excess tissue is removed, the nipple-areola is repositioned, and the breast is reshaped. Surgery typically takes 2-3 hours.
