 Women with very large,
pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems, caused
by the excessive weight, from back and neck pain or skin irritation to
skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave
indentations in women’s shoulders. Additionally, unusually large
breasts can make a woman, or teenage girl, feel extremely
self-conscious. Breast reduction, technically known as reduction
mammaplasty, is designed for such women.The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the
breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce
the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The
goal is to achieve the look of smaller, better-shaped breasts in
proportion to the rest of the body.
If you're considering breast reduction, Dr. Shell can provide you
specific information on how he would proceed in your particular
situation.
