Patients seeking breast reduction almost always have combined complaints. They suffer from neck, back and shoulder pain, (caused by the downward pull of weighty breasts); they have difficulty in finding clothes that fit; and they feel that their figures are unbalanced and unattractive
A good breast reduction candidate rarely bats an eyelash when the main side effects of surgery are reviewed, (permanent scarring, potential sensation loss and possible disturbance to breast feeding ability). She is so beleaguered and uncomfortable by the time she seeks the advice of the plastic surgeon that these seem a small price to pay for liberation from her symptoms.
Together with the relief of their symptoms, the majority of patients gain a new level of satisfaction with their breast aesthetics. Studies even show that the majority of patients with some loss of nipple sensation following surgery still "enjoy" their breasts more and are more comfortable in both routine and intimate situations. Still, it is critical that each woman ponder the permanent costs of a decision for surgery, and particular care must be exercised by young patients and their physicians.

The breast reduction surgical procedure reduces the overall breast volume and raises the gland, producing a rounder, more prominent shape. Incisions are made in the breast skin through which tissue can be removed and then the skin tailored to achieve "lift," much as in mastopexy.
