What is Breast Reduction Surgery and who should have it?

Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammoplasty is a plastic surgery solution to reduce the size of large, bothersome breasts. Most patients who choose to undergo breast reduction surgery suffer from a number of complaints relating to the size of their breasts such as severe and persisting backache, headache and neck tension and in some cases overly large breasts can also cause breathing problems, chafing under the breast area and poor circulation.

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Warren Lent, has years of experience carrying out breast reduction plastic surgery and will meet patients for a thorough consultation. In his experience, a large number of women who consider breast reduction surgery also complain about the difficulty of finding comfortable underwear as thin straps can dig into the shoulder skin leaving painful indentations. In some cases, breast reduction plastic surgery can also help on a psychological level when achieving a more harmonious frame helps self-confidence issues and general psychological well-being. Men can also be candidates for breast reduction surgery if their breast tissue is enlarged and they wish to reduce it. More
