Breast Reduction

Large, pendulous breasts will often cause symptoms such as upper back and neck pain, bra straps cutting into the shoulders and rashes underneath the breasts. By removing skin and breast tissue, the breasts can be re-shaped as well as reduced in size. It is expected that the pre-operative symptoms described will be improved. Breast reduction is usually a procedure that will be covered by insurance. For a full evaluation, make an appointment with Dr. Silberman for an office consultation. For more information you can go to the American Society of Plastic Surgery.
