The treatment

What is breast reduction?

Breast reduction is surgery that reduces the size of the breasts by removing part of the breast tissue, fat and excess skin. Beyond the shape, it aims to reduce the discomfort that very large breasts can cause, such as back, neck and shoulder pain.

During surgery, the breast tissue is reshaped and the areola is moved to a higher position. The technique and the type of scar depend on the volume to remove, the degree of sagging, the quality of the skin and the shape of the breast.
