Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure
performed on women with large breasts which may be causing
a variety of other medical problems such as back and neck
pain, skin irritation under the breasts and bra strap grooving
on the shoulders. This procedure removes fat, glandular tissue
and skin from the breasts making them smaller, lighter and
firmer. The breasts are also lifted. Very often this can be
done using a minimal incision technique that eliminates the
long scar under the breast. Breast reductions are done on
an outpatient basis. The procedure usually takes three hours
depending on the extent of surgery needed.You will most likely
return to work and social activities in about two weeks.
