- Breast Reduction
-
Women with large breasts experience more than dissatisfaction with body image- they may experience physical pain and discomfort. Overly large breasts and the weight of excess breast tissue can cause pain and physical conditions that impair a woman's ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large pendulous breasts is as important an issue to many women, as is the physical discomfort and pain.
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of large, pendulous breasts that are disproportionate to a woman's body and can cause physical pain. This surgery can be performed on one breast or both breasts. It is generally considered a reconstructive procedure and may be covered by health insurance when it is performed to relieve medical symptoms. However, pre-certification from your health insurer is often required for reimbursement or coverage.
If you have large breasts that limit your physical activity and cause pain, breast reduction may be right for you. This type of surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size that is in proportion with a woman's body. Breast reduction surgery also helps to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. In general, breast reduction surgery with Dr. Colony will not only correct the symptoms associated with large breasts, but this surgery will also result in uplifted, better proportioned breasts, thus enhancing a woman's body image and self- confidence.
