Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
San Diego Breast Reduction
Reduction in size of breasts that are too large, heavy, and cumbersome (reduction mammaplasty) is a commonly performed plastic surgery procedure. Breast reduction is the most effective treatment for back, neck, shoulder pain, shoulder skin grooving, rashes beneath the breasts, and other problems associated with disproportionately large breasts. Bra straps pulled by heavy breasts often dig painfully into the shoulder skin, pulling the shoulders forward resulting in a slouched posture. Muscle strain from this pulling may cause frequent headaches, back muscle spasm, continuous aching, and other problems. Consider Consultation for Reduction Mammaplasty. Most women who present for breast reduction have endured years of discomfort, and after the procedure experience relief quickly.
Although the goals of breast reduction include pain relief and more beautiful, lifted, proportionate breasts, the procedure is most often reconstructive (NOT cosmetic surgery). As such, benefits for the operation are included in many health plans.
