What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast tissue and skin, then lifts and contours what remains to suit your body. Many women seek it for comfort as much as appearance. Every reduction is custom-designed and discussed in a private consultation. Explore all breast surgery options in Princeton, NJ.
What Problems Can Breast Reduction Relieve?
- Neck, upper back, lower back and shoulder pain
- Deep bra-strap grooves (notching)
- Rashes, irritation and infections under the breasts
- Difficulty exercising, running or playing sports
- Rounded shoulders and forward head posture
- Breathing difficulties worsened by breast weight
- Emotional distress from unwanted attention or ill-fitting clothes
Results vary by patient.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?
Ideal candidates have physical discomfort from large breasts, are in good overall health, are at or near a stable goal weight, are ideally non-smokers and have fully developed breasts; women whose breasts are still developing should typically wait. Reduction can be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) which repositions the nipple-areola complex and adds elevation for a perkier, more youthful shape.
