Overview

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. Breast reduction is performed to alleviate physical discomfort caused by large breasts, such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, skin irritation, and postural problems.
