Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the breasts and reduce the weight, size and shape of one or both breasts. Surgery can also improve breast symmetry and relieve neck, back and shoulder pain caused by large breasts.
This surgery is usually done as a cosmetic procedure (and effective here) to make your body look better. However, it is also sometimes done to help with medical problems such as pain caused by large breasts, which can lead to other problems such as chronic muscle tension or nerve damage.
It’s important to note that breast reduction surgery doesn’t just target fat: It reduces the size of your breasts overall—including the skin and glandular tissue—so you have smaller but fuller-looking breasts after your recovery period.
