Breast reduction refers to a procedure that is designed to make overly enlarged breasts smaller and to provide a concurrent “lift.” Women who are good candidates have typical symptoms of back, neck, and shoulder pain that are a constant burden in their daily lives. It may affect their ability to exercise, work, or live life without constant pain or requiring medications (pain relievers or muscle relaxants). The surgery can provide tremendous symptomatic relief and truly change the lives of these patients.
