Why Women in Tampa Choose Breast Reduction

You may be a good candidate if your breast size is causing:

Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
Shoulder grooves from bra straps
Discomfort during physical activity or exercise
Rashes beneath the breasts
Poor posture or breathing problems
Difficulty finding flattering, well-fitting clothing
Embarrassment or lowered self-esteem

A breast reduction can restore physical comfort and give you more freedom to live an active life.

What Does Breast Reduction Involve?

Breast reduction—also known as reduction mammoplasty—removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the breasts and lifting them to a more youthful position. The nipples and areolas are repositioned for a proportionate, natural appearance.

Anesthesia: General
Duration: 1–3 hours
Location: Performed at our Tampa surgical suite or local hospital if needed

Incisions: Most commonly a keyhole, anchor, or lollipop shape
