Credentials & Associations
Breast Reduction Can Correct
Overly Large Breasts
Having excess fat and breast tissue can lead to an unbalanced and disproportionate frame. This lack of harmony creates both physical and emotional discomfort. Breast reduction allows women to achieve more natural proportions.
Pain Associated With Large Breasts
The weight of overly large breasts often leads to back, neck, and shoulder pain. Bra straps can create divots in the shoulders, and some sports and exercises can be difficult and painful. Breast reduction targets the underlying cause of this discomfort so you can fully participate in the activities you want.
Body Insecurities
Many women with cumbersome breasts develop them during adolescence. This early development often leads to body-image and confidence issues. Breast reduction can aid those suffering from embarrassment and provide a more balanced figure.
