Large breasts can cause problems in many aspects of a woman's life. When they are larger than the usual standards of attractiveness in our society, the breasts are considered aesthetically displeasing. There can be a feeling of uncomfortable fullness, neck or back pain, and shoulder grooving. These symptoms may contribute to limited performance in certain occupations and in sports. Large breasts can also be difficult to assess for lumps or masses, thus making cancer detection much more difficult for the patient or for her physician. Because of these medical problems, in many cases, medical insurance may cover some of the cost of breast reduction.

The goal of reduction mammoplasty is to reduce, recontour and reshape the breasts. The breasts are made smaller. The nipple areola complex is repositioned upward, and if indicated, reduced in size. Excess skin and breast tissue is removed from the lower and outer portions of the breast.
