/24-7PressRelease/ - SAN JOSE, CA, February 07, 2008 - If your breasts are overly large, you may be experiencing health problems and pain in your neck, shoulders, or back. Carrying around the weight of excess breast tissue can have a major impact on your lifestyle. It can deter or prevent you from participating in sports or other physical activities.
Large breasts can also make you feel self conscious or emotionally uncomfortable. If this sounds like you, breast reduction surgery can help.
A breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is a procedure in which Dr. Weil will make an incision around your nipple and remove the excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue. He will reduce the size of your breasts and reshape them so they are proportionate to the rest of your body.
This surgical procedure is normally safe. But with any surgery, there are risks with anesthesia and the chance of post-operative bleeding, delayed wound healing and scarring.
But overall, breast reduction surgeries are effective and carry significant psychological benefits. Since 1992, the surgery has increased 146 percent—from about 40,000 procedures to over 97,000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
