Breast Reduction
Surgery

Patients choose breast reduction surgery to achieve both cosmetic enhancement and a breast size that matches their body proportions. The procedure requires surgical incisions for tissue removal and breast reshaping with recovery duration determined by individual health factors. Breast reduction provides both appearance enhancement and life-quality improvement through the elimination of discomfort and enhanced capability to perform physical activities.
