Large and heavy breasts often cause chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, and make physical activity difficult. For many women, they also cause skin irritation in the fold under the breasts, difficulties choosing clothing, and reduced self-confidence. Breast reduction is therefore not merely an aesthetic procedure, but often an important functional solution.

In reductive mammoplasty, the surgeon removes excess glandular, fatty, and skin tissue, and simultaneously reshapes and lifts the breasts. The goal of the procedure is to create harmoniously proportioned breasts of an appropriate size that better match the body's proportions.

Large breasts can cause a variety of problems, including: * **Physical pain:** This can include back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain due to the weight of the breasts. * **Skin irritation:** The skin folds under the breasts can trap moisture and lead to rashes, fungal infections, or chafing. * **Difficulty with physical activity:** Larger breasts can make it uncomfortable or challenging to participate in sports or exercise. * **Posture problems:** The weight of large breasts can cause women to slouch, leading to poor posture and associated back issues. * **Bra-related issues:** Finding well-fitting bras can be difficult, and constant pressure from straps can cause indentations or pain. * **Psychological effects:** Some women may experience self-consciousness, body image issues, or even depression due to the size of their breasts. * **Sleep disturbances:** Finding a comfortable sleeping position can be challenging, and some women may experience pain when lying on their stomach. * **Clothing difficulties:** Finding fashionable and well-fitting clothing can be a struggle.

Many patients report easier movement, better posture, and increased self-confidence after the procedure. Breast reduction often also improves sleep quality and reduces chronic physical strain.
