Breast reduction

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breast reduction is a plastic surgery to make human breasts smaller. The surgeon takes out fat, skin, and glands. It is done on women most of the time, but men can also get it. In 2005, more than 113,000 women had breast reductions.[1][2]

Aside from aesthetic reasons, many women choose to undergo breast reduction surgery to help reduce back strain or breathing problems caused by having large breasts.
