Breast reduction surgery is performed to alleviate the physical and psychological discomfort of living with very large breasts. Exceptionally large breasts can be disabling in terms of back, neck, and shoulder pain. It is often difficult for these women to find brassieres or clothing that fit properly. They may feel self conscious in public and avoid activities which make their breasts stand out (such as jogging or aerobics) . Breast reduction surgery can help.

Dr. Angelchik most often performs a Vertical Reduction Mammaplasty through a "lollipop" incision and finds that this technique provides a natural pleasing shape to the reduced breast. Larger breast reduction candidates may require an "anchor" shaped incision and/or free nipple areola grafts, but for most patients this is not necessary. The surgery is typically done on an outpatient basis and liposuction of the breasts and lateral chest wall subcutaneous fat may be incorporated into the procedure. Breast reduction patients are generally very satisfying to work with because the operation makes such a positive difference in their lives.
