If you have developed an excess of breast tissue due to your natural breast development or as a result of other factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding, weight gain, or prescription drugs, you may be a candidate for breast size reduction surgery. Whether you are a man or a woman, there are a number of surgical techniques that can be used to remove unwanted and unsightly breast tissue and help you achieve the sleeker, streamlined appearance you want. Breast size reduction can be achieved using a number of different techniques, or using a hybrid approach that combines two or more techniques together. For men or women who need to have only a relatively small amount of fatty tissue removed from the breast or chest area, liposuction may serve as the primary method. However, if a more radical change is needed, the surgeon may make incisions and move the areola and nipple to create the appearance of a tauter, more youthful profile.
