Women with large breasts often suffer from neck, shoulder, and back pain. For these individuals, reduction mammoplasty can reshape the breasts, giving them a more proportionate and comfortable appearance.
The primary goal of breast reduction surgery is to reduce the size and volume of the breasts. During the procedure, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, resulting in smaller, firmer, and aesthetically pleasing breasts.
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, has become increasingly popular worldwide. Many women opt for this procedure because it makes the upper body appear slimmer, enhancing overall body proportions.
Men with enlarged breasts can also benefit from surgery, and at Dr. Akbari’s Golden Rose Clinic in Farmanieh, we provide specialized gynecomastia treatment.
Why Choose Reduction Mammoplasty?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), breast reduction has seen remarkable growth and is among the top 10 cosmetic procedures in 2025.
- Benefits include:
✅ Relief from skeletal pain (neck, shoulder, back) - ✅ Boosted confidence and enhanced body shape
- ✅ Freedom to wear desired clothing 👗
- ✅ Improved upper-to-lower body proportion
Who is a Suitable Candidate?
- Women whose large breasts cause neck and shoulder pain
- Those experiencing limitations in physical activity 🏃♀️
- Individuals with skin irritation under the breasts
- Women seeking better aesthetic and psychological confidence
Who Should Avoid Surgery?
- 🔞 Under 18: Breast development continues until adulthood; surgery is recommended after full growth.
- 😰 Sensitive to scars: While scars fade over time, they do not completely disappear.
- 👩🍼 Planning pregnancy or breastfeeding: Surgery may affect lactation.
- ⚖️ Severe obesity (BMI > 27): Higher risk of slow wound healing and infection.
