Breast reduction is performed to correct gigantomastia, which are very large breasts that are disproportionate compared to body size in order to offer the patient a better quality of life. This type of intervention is a procedure that allows excess fat, skin and tissue to be removed from excessively large and heavy breasts.
In many cases, this is done not only to make the body proportional, but also to treat physical symptoms, such as skin irritation along the crease, tendency to rashes and infections in the submammary folds, poor posture, chronic neck, back and shoulder pain, and restricted activities due to excessive breast weight.
