You may be a good candidate for a breast reduction if you:

Are limited to certain activities due to large breasts
Are experiencing physical pain and discomfort due to large breasts
Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Are not intending to breastfeed in the future
Are in good physical and psychological health
Have realistic expectations

How is breast reduction surgery performed?

This procedure is typically performed for physical relief rather than cosmetic reasons. During breast reduction surgery, San Francisco breast enhancement expert Dr. Mele will use the anchor-incision technique beneath the breast, where he will remove glandular tissue and excess fat. He will then tighten up the remaining skin around the smaller, newly-shaped breast. As a result, your breasts will also feel lighter and firmer.
