Constant back and neck pain, gouges in your shoulders from bra straps, deteriorating posture and an inability to participate in certain activities rank among the common complaints of women with large breasts. Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) may help relieve these symptoms. As technology advances and surgical techniques improve, more women are seeking consultations from plastic surgeons to discuss options for adjusting their breast sizes to a healthier and more comfortable level.

Risks of breast reduction surgery! Breast reduction surgery has the same risks as any other type of major surgery — bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Other possible risks specific to breast reduction surgery include: • Loss of sensation in the nipples and areolae. • Impaired blood supply to the nipples, leading to loss of the nipples and scarring. • Inability to breast-feed. • Asymmetry in size, shape, position and contour of the nipples or breasts, which may lead to further surgery to improve appearance. • Altered body image and a period of adjustment to get used to the change in your appearance. Understanding what's involved in breast reduction surgery and weighing the benefits and risks of surgery can help you decide if it's right for you.
