Women with large breasts experience more than dissatisfaction with body image - they may experience physical pain and discomfort. The weight of excess breast tissue can cause pain and physical conditions that impair a woman's ability to lead an active life. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of large, pendulous breasts that are disproportionate to a woman's body and reduce or alleviate her symptoms.
A woman may be a candidate for breast reduction surgery is she experiences one or more of the following symptoms:
Back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of excess breast tissue
Shoulder discomfort and indentation from bra straps that support heavy, pendulous breasts
Restricted physical activity due to breast size and the associated discomfort
Skin irritation beneath the breast crease
Mastodynia
Breast reduction surgery is a two-hour, same day surgery that is covered by most insurance companies. I participate with all of the major insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid. My staff will work directly with insurance companies to preauthorize surgery coverage for you.
An outcome study from the Mayo clinic showed that 97.3% of patients indicated they would have the procedure again, and 97% believed that it improved their quality of life.
