What Is A Breast Reduction?

The technical term for breast reduction is a reduction mammoplasty. A reduction mammoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that may reduce the size, weight, and shape of a patient's breasts in order to restore balance. Your plastic surgeon will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin to reveal lifted and symmetrical breasts. Your areolas may also be reduced in order to restore symmetry. Many women often undergo a breast reduction due to back pain, shoulder pain, difficulty exercising, etc. However, some women simply wish to achieve a smaller chest that is firmer, lifted, and more youthful.
