Reduction mammaplasty, also referred to as Breast reduction surgery, presents a transformative solution for individuals who experience discomfort or dissatisfaction due to the size of their breasts, whether for cosmetic or medical reasons. The presence of excessively large breasts can lead to significant discomfort, prompting numerous women to seek the benefits of breast reduction. By altering the size, position, and volume of the breasts, this surgical procedure facilitates the attainment of a more balanced and harmonious appearance, as well as enhanced physical comfort.
If you find yourself grappling with persistent back and neck pain or harbor a sense of discontentment caused by disproportionately large breasts, the option of undergoing a surgical reduction may be the ideal path for you.
WHAT IS
BREAST reduction?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and volume of the breasts. It is typically performed for both medical and aesthetic reasons. During the procedure, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to achieve a more proportionate breast size in relation to the individual’s body frame.
The benefits of breast reduction surgery often include relief from physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as improved posture. It can also enhance body proportions, boost self-confidence, and alleviate emotional distress associated with having disproportionately large breasts.
Benefits of Breast reduction
Breast reduction surgery offers numerous benefits for individuals who are uncomfortable with the size and weight of their breasts. Some of the key advantages include:
- Physical Comfort: Large and heavy breasts can cause chronic pain and discomfort, particularly in the back, neck, and shoulders. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate these symptoms by reducing the weight and size of the breasts, resulting in improved posture and decreased strain on the body.
- Relief from Skin Irritation: Excessively large breasts can lead to skin irritation and rashes, particularly in the areas beneath the breasts. Breast reduction surgery removes the excess tissue, reducing friction and allowing for improved air circulation, which can help alleviate these issues.
- Increased Mobility and Activity Levels: Women with large breasts often experience limitations in physical activities due to discomfort and restricted movement. Breast reduction surgery can enhance mobility and allow individuals to engage in sports, exercises, and other activities with greater ease and enjoyment.
- Enhanced Body Proportions: Breast reduction surgery can bring the breasts into better proportion with the rest of the body, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing silhouette. It can improve body contour and clothing fit, allowing individuals to feel more confident in their appearance.
- Psychological Well-being: Disproportionately large breasts can cause emotional distress, self-consciousness, and body image concerns. Breast reduction surgery can significantly improve self-esteem and body confidence, enabling individuals to feel more comfortable and at ease in their daily lives and social interactions.
- Clothing Options: After breast reduction surgery, individuals often find it easier to find well-fitting and flattering clothing. They can enjoy a wider range of clothing styles and have the freedom to choose outfits that suit their personal style without having to accommodate overly large breasts.

PERFECT YOUR PROPORTIONS
Some women seek breast reductions in order to correct asymmetrical breast size or shape. Others elect to undergo the procedure in order to alleviate physical pain and discomfort, predominantly in the back, neck, and shoulders, that often accompanies larger breasts. Irritation of the skin beneath the breasts may also factor into your decision.
Breasts that are large in size are not the only cause for a reduction; breasts that are dense, and/or fibrous can also be the cause of significant pain and discomfort.
Whatever your concerns or symptoms may be, Wilmington Plastic Surgery has the experience and expertise to offer solutions.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM my breast Reduction surgery?
By removing excess fat, tissue, and skin, a breast reduction can alleviate chronic discomfort, and produce a bust line that is in proportion to your body.
Like all cosmetic procedures, the choice to undergo a breast reduction should be a highly individualized one. Women are encouraged to make this decision based upon their own concerns and needs, and not in efforts to conform to body images and expectations imposed by others.
If the size of your breasts is causing you to be self- conscious, creating physical pain or discomfort, or is unsightly due to stretched skin and a pendulous shape, you may consider speaking with our surgeons about your options for improvement.
