Breast Reduction
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
One of the most satisfied patients in plastic surgery is the one who has had a breast reduction. Overly large breasts and heavy breasts can cause some women to have both physical and emotional problems. In addition to self-image issues, they may also experience some physical pain and discomfort, such as back, neck and shoulder pain.
This extra weight can impair your ability to lead an active life. In addition, many women report emotional discomfort and self-consciousness as a result of having overly large breasts.
If you find yourself suffering unwanted attention or health problems due to large, heavy breasts, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Chhatre can help. By performing a breast reduction procedure, Dr. Chhatre can remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your particular body. This will relieve the discomfort associated with overly large breasts and restore a natural balance to your body.
Like all surgeries, breast reduction surgery is a highly individualized decision and you should commit to this procedure for yourself and not to satisfy anyone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of idealized image of how you should look.
Good candidates for breast reduction surgery are:
- Women bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too large
- Women with breasts that limit their physical activity
- Women who experience back, neck and shoulder pain caused by the weight of their breasts
- Women who have irritated skin beneath the breast crease
- Women who have deep and constant indentations from bra straps that support large breasts
Women considering breast reduction surgery should be physically healthy, maintaining stable weight and have realistic expectations about what the surgery can and cannot accomplish.
