Large, pendulous breasts cause physical problems
for many women. Symptoms include heaviness in the breasts, difficulty
with physical activity, back and neck pain, skin irritation and bra straps
digging into shoulder grooves. Most women are also very self- conscious
about the size of their breasts.

Breast reduction surgery
repositions nipples at a higher, more normal location while reducing the
size of the breast. Excess skin also needs to be removed. Recently reduction
surgery with shorter scars is gaining popularity, although only a modest
amount of breast and skin can be removed. The traditional reduction surgery
resulting in anchor shaped scars is necessary for most women undergoing
this surgery. As considerable amount of skin, fat and breast tissue needs
to be removed, these scars could be significant. After healing from surgery
women feel physically more comfortable.
Surgery is usually done with general anesthesia with an
overnight stay. Full recovery could take about 2 weeks.
