- Back, neck, or shoulder pain, bra-strap indentation, or skin irritation beneath the breasts
- Restrictions on activities or clothing due to breast size
- Concerns about appearance or self-consciousness related to breast size:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What Does a Breast Reduction Involve?
Reduction mammoplasty requires removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, then reshaping and elevating the remaining tissue—including repositioning the nipple and areola—to create a proportionate and uplifted appearance.:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Surgeons typically use an “anchor” incision that circles the areola, extends vertically downwards, and follows the breast crease. Liposuction may sometimes be used to refine the reduction.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Potential Risks to Consider
As with any major surgery, breast reduction carries risks including:
