Women with disproportionately large breasts often suffer from back, shoulder or neck discomfort, bra strap indentations or skin irritation, or limitations in their lifestyle, clothing options or self-confidence in general. Breast reduction is a procedure designed to excise excessive skin and breast tissue, and concurrently reduce and reposition the nipple in a more aesthetically appropriate position. A great majority of women report a significant reduction in their presenting symptoms and satisfaction regarding the appearance of their breasts following this safe and effective procedure, which is often covered by insurance plans if deemed "medically necessary".

Breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia as an overnight procedure. Most women are able to fully engage in "activities of daily living" or are even back at work within 1-2 weeks or surgery. They are soon after able to engage in exercise or more rigorous physical activities, which often leads to weight loss in general, to bring the whole body into better overall proportion.
