Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for women with very large, pendulous breasts who may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight, from back and neck pain and skin irritation, to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. |
Breast lift surgery can elevate your breasts to a more youthful position. Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift is chosen by women who are affected by breast sagging (breast ptosis) caused by weight fluctuations or the aging process. |
