Female Breast Reduction
A procedure to ease discomfort from overly large breasts and achieve a breast size more in proportion to the rest of your body

Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammaplasty is a procedure in which we surgically remove excess fat, gland, and skin from the female breast. The surgery is offered to women with overly large breasts (macromastia).
Female breast reduction can relieve neck, shoulder, and back pain caused by the weight of large breasts. It can also ease discomfort from deep shoulder grooves caused by bra straps when bras do not fully support large breasts. Breast reduction surgery can also reduce the occurrence of rashes and skin infections under the breasts where heat and moisture become trapped under large breasts. Many women with excessively large breasts find it easier to exercise and perform daily chores, even pick up their children, after undergoing breast reduction.
Female breast reduction treats these problems by eliminating the excess size and weight of the breasts.
Mr Shadab I. Ahmad, consultant plastic and aesthetic surgeon, performs female breast reduction in a hospital. You can find out if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure during a consultation with Mr Ahmad at Venus Medical.
