Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty): Remove extra tissue and create smaller-sized breasts.

This procedure creates smaller, lighter breasts by removing glandular tissue, fat and skin from large, heavy, hanging breasts. Women choose breast reduction for physical as well as psychological reasons.l.

Are oversize breasts causing you to experience chest, shoulder and neck pain; or deep grooves in your shoulders from bra straps or skin irritation? Is it difficult to find clothing that fits properly? Is the weight of your chest weighing you down emotionally? If you choose breast reduction, your results can include improved posture, reduced chest pain, and a slimmer profile.

Recovery for back to work is 2 to 3 weeks with more strenuous activity taking up to six weeks. If you feel you will benefit from breast reduction and a new look, discuss your options fully with Dr. Brown.
