Breast Reduction

Frequently, women with very large breasts experience discomfort and/or health problems including:

• Back and neck pain
• Breathing problems
• Restriction of strenuous physical activity
• Painful indentions caused by bra straps
• Difficulty finding clothing that fits
• Irritation and rashes under the breasts

Breast Reduction offers a reliable method to reduce the size and weight of your breasts and simultaneously improve your shape and alleviate the above symptoms.

The breast reduction procedure involves removal of excess breast tissue and tightening the breast skin making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Breast reduction surgery techniques are used that will give you the most natural shape and relieve symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain due to of the weight of the breasts. Breast reduction is most frequently performed for physical relief rather than for cosmetic improvement but addresses both issues.

Dr. Bottger also performs breast reduction surgeries for men.
