Breast reduction is a surgical procedure to raise and reduce the size of breasts. Factors such as pregnancy, nursing, weight change, aging and gravity produce changes in the appearance of a woman’s breasts. This operation can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin around the nipple. The best candidates for breast reduction are healthy, emotionally stable women who have realistic expectations about what this type of surgery can accomplish. Breast reduction does leave permanent, noticeable scars on the breasts, and the breasts whilst smaller than your current size will still change with time and the final size cannot be accurately predicted. There are a variety of different surgical techniques used for the reshaping of the female breast.
