What Is Breast Reduction Surgery (Mammoplasty)?

Living with large breasts can bring a host of challenges, from chronic back and neck pain to the frustration of finding clothes that fit comfortably.

About the Breast Reduction Procedure

During breast reduction surgery, Dr. Ferraro carefully removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a breast size that’s more proportionate to your body. The procedure typically involves incisions around the areola and down the breast, which allows for reshaping and lifting. Most breast reduction surgeries are performed under general anesthesia and take about two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Breast Reduction Benefits 

This surgery can significantly relieve issues like back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation caused by large breasts. It can also make it easier to find clothes that fit well and participate in physical activities you may have avoided before.

But, the benefits of mammoplasty go beyond the physical. Many women experience a renewed sense of self-esteem and body confidence after the procedure. If you’ve felt self-conscious about the size of your breasts or struggled with the unwanted attention they can sometimes bring, breast reduction surgery could be a life-changing solution.
