As many women, are aware, oversized breasts are not just uncomfortable, but they also may be potentially dangerous to their overall health. Many women come to us Island Plastic Surgery requesting a breast reduction because they experience lower back, and neck problems, breast and shoulder pain and over time, oversized breasts can cause problems with posture and chronic arthritis. Patients with breasts noticeably different in sizes also use breast reduction to more closely match their proportions.

Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of fat, glandular tissue and even skin if necessary for a smaller, firmer, more contoured chest. After breast reduction, our patients experience relief from the stress of extra weight, find it easier to exercise and often undergo significant weight loss due to increased stamina.
