Large sagging breasts not only interfere with normal physical activity but can also cause back and shoulder pain in many women. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces, lifts and reshapes the breasts making them more proportionate to the rest of the body. It can also reduce the size of your areola (the pink skin around the nipple.)
Incisions are made around the areola and extend vertically down the middle of the breast to the breast crease. New techniques have been developed where the incisions may be shortened and scarring is minimized. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
