Breast Reduction
Women with excessively large breasts can experience both health and emotional issues. The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with large breasts is as important an issue to many women as the physical discomfort and pain.
Improved Comfort
Large breasts may entice unwanted attention, affect a woman’s self-esteem and make her uncomfortable with her appearance. Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure with immensely satisfying results. There can be significant alleviation of back and neck pain, shoulder grooving, skin rashes, posture, headaches and improvement in exercise tolerance.
Breast reduction surgery can help women regain confidence with a renewed self-image and a body contour with which they can be comfortable. Dr. Turner will review procedures and expectations with you to determine if this is a suitable procedure for you.
