Women in need of a breast reduction are tired of overlarge, heavy breasts, and want to reduce breast size. In fact, an excess of breast tissue is both an aesthetic and a physical burden. Carrying the weight of heavy breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain. Many women develop rashes beneath the breasts and deep grooves on the shoulders created by bra straps. Overlarge breasts can inhibit their ability to exercise and wear the clothing styles they want.
