Breast Reduction
Although many women around the world seek breast augmentation to obtain a more feminine appearance, some women suffer from large breast size and seek to reduce breast size by resorting to a surgical procedure called breast reduction.
Breast reduction surgery removes fat and some tissues from the skin of the breast, in order to obtain smaller breasts that are more consistent with the body shape and the patient’s desire, which reduces the feeling of discomfort and helps to improve the appearance of the breast, and breast reduction surgery may also help in improving the image Autonomy and the ability to participate in physical activities.
