Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure to reduce a woman’s breast size. This surgery is done by removing excess breast tissue, fat or chest muscle. After the surgery, the breasts will appear smaller and more balanced. Breast reduction surgery may be a desirable option due to physical or psychological ailments. For example, large breasts can cause physical pain or lower a person’s self-confidence. However, surgical procedures always carry risks, so potential patients should learn enough about breast reduction surgery and talk to the surgeon.
