Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty surgery is a procedure that removes fatty breast tissue, glandular tissue, and skin from large pendulous (sagging) breasts. This makes breasts smaller and firmer. Breast reduction surgery will also restore sagging breasts to a more youthful and lifted position on the chest wall. Additionally, the areola will be reduced in size and repositioned higher on the breast.
Women who have large breasts (macromastia), may experience a variety of physical symptoms (symptomatic macromastia). The physical symptoms result from the weight and size of their breasts. These may include back, neck, shoulder pain, headaches, as well as skin irritation and breakdown on the underside of the breasts. Poor exercise tolerance, as well as limited clothing options, are also often cited as factors motivating patients to surgery.
Younger patients may desire breast reduction surgery to help reduce psycho-social stressors that may result from either unwanted attention or feeling overly self conscious about the appearance of their breasts.
