Breast Reduction

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is an operation that removes excess tissue and skin from overly large, sagging breasts to create a firmer, lighter breast shape proportionate to the body. It helps relieve physical complaints such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, bra strap grooves, skin irritation, and postural problems.
