Heavy, pendulous breasts can bestow a lifetime of problems for the "well-endowed" - limiting sports activities, and causing significant back pain and spine problems, and even emotional issues. For many large-breasted women, their double D cups are, in fact, a bodily burden.

Fortunately there is an alternative to avoid those problems through breast reduction surgery.

In the traditional breast reduction surgery, called mammaplasty, the surgeon makes a large T-shaped incision to remove excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin. In some situations it may be possible to restrict the scars to a keyhole pattern. The procedure is done under General anaesthesia and may take about 4 hours. One will be required to stay a day in the hospital. Following the operation the sutures will be removed in stages in about 10 days time. It will usually take about 6-8 weeks for the oedema to subside and the final results to be seen.
