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.
