Breast Reduction (click for worldwide facilities list): Patients who undergo breast reduction surgery frequently are seeking relief from physical symptoms caused by the excessive weight of large breasts, a condition that is medically known as breast hypertrophy. Breast hypertrophy typically occurs in both breasts and happens at puberty or soon afterward. Breast reduction usually can solve these problems as well as improve the size and shape of your breasts. Following breast reduction, your breasts will be more proportional to the rest of your body, and clothes will fit you better.

The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are well-adjusted women whose oversized breasts cause health and medical problems, interfere with routine activities, disrupt sleep, or suffer related self-consciousness issues.

You can have breast reduction surgery at any age, but it's generally advisable to wait until you're at least age 20, by which time your breasts are likely to be fully developed. However, sometimes surgery is performed in teens who suffer significant emotional and psychological effects of having too-large breasts.

If you want children, consider postponing breast reduction surgery until you've had them. Changes to breast tissue during pregnancy could alter your surgical results. Also, after the surgery, breast-feeding may be difficult.

Surgeons use different techniques, but the most common one involves an anchor-shaped incision that goes around the areola, down the breast toward the crease between the breast and abdomen, and then horizontally in the crease under the breast. The surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce the size of your breast. If amount of tissue to be removed is relatively small, your surgeon may not need to make the horizontal incision.

In most cases, the nipple and areola remain attached to the breast. If the breasts are very large and droopy, however, the surgeon may have to remove the nipple and areola and reattach them at a higher position as a skin graft. In this case, detaching the nipple and areola from their blood vessels and nerves causes them to permanently lose sensation and can result in the inability to breast-feed.

Understanding what's involved in breast reduction surgery and weighing the benefits and risks of surgery can help you decide if it's right for you. Most women who have breast reduction surgery are highly satisfied with the results.
