What is a breast reduction?

Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, is surgery to remove excess fat, mammary gland, and skin from the breast. Dr. Borra, Lugano’s plastic surgeon,  lifts and reduces the volume of your breasts giving you a comfortable and  proportionate body.

Why you might want a breast reduction?

Too much breast

Breast is an important part of your body and your beauty, but having too much of it can be a problem. If you are aware of the problem, or it bothers you too much and attracts the attention of others, you can resolve the discomfort with a breast reduction.

Maintain an active lifestyle

large breasts can prevent adequate physical activity and limit sport practices and workouts. With a smaller breast  you will move easier.

Pain and discomfort

Too large breasts can cause postural problems and back pain. The shoulders are subject to deviations and are marked by bra straps. In some cases these problems can be recognized by insurance companies.

Dress better

When the breasts are too large in proportion to your body it is difficult to find clothes that fit you well.

A right size breast
