Breast Reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. The goal of the procedure is to improve physical comfort, enhance body proportions, and create a more balanced and natural breast shape. In addition to aesthetic improvement, Breast Reduction can significantly relieve chronic discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, bra strap grooves, nerve pain, and skin irritation. Many patients also experience improved self-confidence and greater ease in daily activities and exercise following surgery.

Breast Reduction works by surgically removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin through carefully planned incisions. The breasts are then reshaped, lifted, and resized to achieve a more proportionate contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to match the new breast shape while remaining attached to preserve sensation whenever possible. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fatty tissue. The specific technique depends on breast size, shape, skin quality, and the patient’s goals. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and focuses on both functional relief and aesthetic balance.
