Breast Reduction

In our society's focus on a woman's shape we often think only of breast augmentation when we think of breast procedures. Naturally this gets the most attention from our media because it is "sexy". But what about those women who have the opposite problem? Our ability to reduce too large a breast with less scarring has improved greatly over the last 20 years. We can now do the procedure with less than half the scarring that it used to entail.

A breast reduction can have several beneficial effects. It decreases the weight borne by shoulders as well as the stress that weight places on the lower back. It solves problems of skin irritation in the breast fold and often improves nipple sensation. By using a short scar technique we reshape the nipple/areola complex and usually maintain the ability to breast feed by not interrupting the ducts that carry milk from the breast tissue.
