MIAMI BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY BY DR. TACHMES
Overly large breasts can cause some women to have both health and emotional problems. In addition to self-image issues, you may also experience physical pain and discomfort. The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large pendulous breasts is as significant an issue to many women as the physical discomfort and pain. Also known as reduction mammaplasty, this procedure removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to your body and alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Miami Board Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tachmes is an expert on Breast Reduction Surgery and will review all options during your consultation.
