Women with very large breasts may experience a variety of medical problems — from back and neck pain and skin irritation, to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders and large breasts can make a woman or a teenage girl feel extremely self-conscious. Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter and firmer. | |
