*Breast Reduction Overview for JDDerma Studio*
*Introduction to Breast Reduction Surgery*
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more in proportion with your body. This procedure is also aimed at alleviating discomfort associated with overly large breasts, such as back pain, neck pain, and difficulty in performing physical activities.
At JDDerma, Dr. Jyoti Dhamecha ensures that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their needs, helping them achieve not just aesthetic balance but also relief from physical discomfort.
