Breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce breast size and weight while creating a more natural, balanced shape that is proportionate to the rest of the body. Many patients seek breast reduction due to physical discomfort, dissatisfaction with breast appearance, or limitations caused by excessive breast volume. The procedure involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, followed by reshaping and lifting the breasts and repositioning the nipples and areolas to a higher, more youthful position. The surgical technique is carefully selected based on factors such as breast shape, skin elasticity, and the amount of tissue to be removed, and may be combined with areola reduction, breast lift, or augmentation where appropriate to optimise results. Beyond aesthetic improvement, breast reduction can significantly relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain, improve posture, reduce skin irritation from bra straps, and allow greater freedom in physical activity. By restoring balance to the body and easing physical strain, Dr. Leonard’s breast reduction procedures have helped many women achieve improved comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.
