Comfort & Confidence with Breast Reduction

If overly large and heavy breasts are causing your bra straps to dig into your skin, you are not alone. Many women with overly bountiful bustlines not only have back, neck and shoulder pain but also find themselves limited in the physical activities they are able to participate in. Breast Reduction removes excess breast tissue to achieve a more comfortable and convenient breast size while reshaping and lifting the breasts to a more youthful position.

A breast reduction with Alabama plastic surgeons William J. Hedden, M.D. or J. Stephen Gunn, M.D. in Birmingham can transform heavy, pendulous breasts into smaller, lighter, firmer breasts that are in better proportion to your body size. With smaller and more youthful-looking breasts, breast reduction patients can find relief from upper body pain and more freedom to enjoy life. The patient satisfaction rate of breast reduction is among the highest of any plastic surgery procedure, says the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

If the procedure is deemed to be medically necessary, breast reduction is often covered by health insurance. Some insurance providers may require the removal of a certain amount of breast tissue.
