title: Reduction mammoplasty.
abstract: Breast reduction is a good example of the interface between aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery as both the breast size and eventual appearance of the breast change. Most patients are happy with their decisions to have the surgery for several reasons, including an appreciation of new clothing choices, improved self-image along with a disappearance of back pain and other physical symptoms associated with large, heavy breasts.
