Female
Breast Reduction
Some women
find the size and weight of their breasts uncomfortable, and
have breast reduction surgery to get smaller breasts.
Some women
experience back ache, shoulder ache and neck pain due to the
size and weight of their breasts.
If your
large breasts are causing you distress, you may be entitled
to surgery under the NHS. You should talk to your GP if you
want advice about breast reduction surgery from the NHS.

Male Breast
Reduction
Some men have
large breasts and require breast reduction surgery to
flatten the breast area. Male large breasts can be caused by
a hormonal imbalance, excessive alcohol or use of steroids. |

Breast Reduction Surgery
Recovery
You may be in
hospital for 2-3 days and will need 2 weeks off work to rest
after your breast reduction surgery. You will need to avoid
heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 6 weeks. |
