What is breast reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that helps people achieve a more comfortable and balanced body shape by reducing the size and volume of their breasts. This transformative surgery offers a life-changing solution to individuals facing physical discomfort and self-esteem issues due to excessively large breasts. The procedure involves removing extra tissue, fat, and skin, leading to smaller, beautifully shaped breasts that can enhance your overall appearance. It’s a great option for those looking for both physical relief and a more proportionate look. At Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute, we specialize in procedures for breast reduction, helping our patients achieve their desired comfort and confidence.

When is breast reduction done?

Breast reduction surgery is typically recommended for individuals who face health issues and emotional distress due to the size of their breasts. Common reasons for pursuing a breast reduction in West Palm Beach include:

  • Physical discomfort: Large breasts can lead to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Breast reduction can provide relief from these discomforts.
  • Skin irritation: The weight and friction of large breasts can lead to skin irritation and rashes underneath the breast crease.
  • Difficulty with physical activity: Engaging in physical activities or exercise can be challenging for individuals with oversized breasts. Breast reduction can enhance mobility and participation in various activities.
  • Emotional well-being: Some people may experience self-esteem issues or negative body image due to the size of their breasts. Breast reduction can boost self-confidence and overall well-being.

In some cases, insurance may cover breast reduction when deemed medically necessary, which it often is. When the condition leads to back and neck pain, rashes, and other problems, it may be covered.

What are the benefits of breast reduction?

A breast reduction offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved physical comfort: Relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as reduced skin irritation and discomfort.
  • Enhanced quality of life: Increased mobility, comfort in daily activities, and participation in physical fitness.
  • Aesthetic enhancement: Achieving a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
  • Emotional well-being: Enhanced self-esteem and body confidence.
