Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast Reduction or Reduction Mammoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reduce the size of a woman’s breasts via the removal of fat, skin and glandular tissues. It is a procedure which can help women with over-prominent or droopy breasts to achieve an overall better proportioned figure. The incisions involved are usually similar to those in a breast lift procedure.
In addition to achieving aesthetic objectives, Reduction Mammoplasty is often carried out on women suffering from Gigantomastia, a condition which sees extreme breast growth leading to chronic pain on the head, neck, back and shoulders as well as other circulatory and respiratory problems.
