Breast reduction removes and reshapes breast tissue while repositioning the breast envelope to create a smaller, more proportionate breast.
The operation may be considered for physical symptoms, proportion, asymmetry or a combination of concerns. The amount removed is only one part of the plan; tissue quality, nipple position, breast width and the desired shape also matter.
What a consultation addresses
- Symptoms and functional goals.
- Current breast volume and asymmetry.
- Likely scar pattern.
- Changes in sensation and other procedure-specific risks.
- How weight change, pregnancy and aging may affect long-term shape.
