Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reduce the size and shape of a woman's breasts for a number of reasons. Breast reduction can modify the body contour of a woman who, for personal or physical reasons, feels her breast size is too large and desires a more discrete breast appearance.

Patients who undergo breast reduction surgery frequently are seeking relief from physical symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts. Breast reduction surgery usually can solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction surgery, your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better.
