Patient with heavy breasts often live with constant neck and back discomfort and bra strap pain. It can be a source of embarrassment and make buying comfortable clothing quite difficult. An inability to exercise and skin irritation under the breasts can further add to the daily distress.

Breast reduction is an operation designed to reduce the size of the breasts and lift them up on the chest wall to improve the shape and support. If the ‘success' of an operation is to be measured by patient satisfaction, then this procedure consistently rates amongst the best of all surgical procedures (cosmetic and non-cosmetic) that are performed today. For some patients it is unquestionably a life-changing procedure.

Modern techniques are designed to maintain sensation to the central breast (although this may change in the short term) and can allow for future breast-feeding. Also whilst it is not easy to guarantee the final size of the breasts, it is possible to a large degree to tailor the final result to your wishes.
