Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty, is designed for such women. The surgical procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

There is a risk, especially if breasts are extremely large, to permanently loose the sensation in the nipples and areola area. If breasts are extremely large and drooping, the surgeon may need to detach the nipples from their natural vessels and nerves, which then results in a loss of sensation in these parts of the breasts.
