Let’s explore what breast reduction surgery is, its possible benefits and risks along with different procedures.
Breast reduction surgery is a plastic procedure that reduces breast size to relieve physical discomfort and improve overall physical appearance. It removes the extra fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size proportional to the body.
This treatment helps women get rid of posture problems caused by the weight of large breasts and related pains such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Similarly, men with gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) can benefit from male chest reduction surgery, resulting in a more masculine chest contour.
Numerous advantages of breast reduction surgery exist, such as:
Reduced pain in back, neck, and shoulder.
Lowered risk of breast cancer.
Improved self-esteem with more proportional breasts.
Better Posture.
Reduced skin irritation and rashes.
Improved clothing fit.
Easier physical activity like exercising.
Opportunity for a breast lift.
Easier breathing with smaller breasts.
Breast or chest reduction procedures are of three types. The surgery choice depends on your breast size, how much breast tissue needs removal, the level of incision required and the desired post-treatment appearance.

| Common Use Cases | Moderate sagging or asymmetry, minor reductions | Significant reduction in size with shape corrections for very large breasts (macromastia or gigantomastia) |
