Women with overly-large breasts often suffer from a variety of physical and emotional issues. Pain and restricted activities, unwanted attention, and the inability to fit into clothing choices often lead these women to opt for breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, to reduce their breast size.

Who is a good candidate?
If you have over-sized breasts, or are experiencing any of the following because of your large breasts, a breast reduction procedure may be the right choice for you:

• Back, neck, and shoulder pain and soreness
• Breathing difficulties
• Trouble performing certain movements or doing activities that you would like to
• Receiving unwanted attention
• Difficulty finding bras or clothing
• Soreness and rashes beneath your breasts

Insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery
It is important to note that mammoplasty is sometimes covered by health insurance if it is viewed as medically necessary. The medical necessity of the procedure should be proven and established before scheduling an appointment with your cosmetic surgeon.

If you are considering how a breast reduction might improve the quality of your life, please schedule a breast reduction consultation with Bray Plastic Surgery Medical Center at 310-534-8300 to learn more about the breast reduction procedure.
