What is achieved during the breast reduction procedure?Â
The breast reduction procedure involves the removal of excess fat and glandular breast tissue to reduce the overall size of the breasts and achieve symmetry. During the procedure, the nipples and areola may also be repositioned to ensure a natural appearance and keep them from pointing downward due to the weight of the breasts. This treatment can be lifechanging for women who have struggled with larger breasts.Â
