Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while improving overall balance and comfort. The procedure removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, more proportionate breast shape.

Many patients consider breast reduction to address physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder strain, as well as to improve posture, activity levels, and overall quality of life.
