What are the symptoms of having breasts that are too large?

As mentioned above, back, neck, and shoulder pain can radiate from having breasts that are too large for your body. In addition, if your breasts are limiting physical activity such as bending over, swinging a golf club or tennis racket, or if lifting objects becomes a real chore, you should consider the benefits of breast reduction surgery. If you notice you have pronounced indentations on your shoulders caused by bra straps, or if you suffer from irritated skin beneath the creases of your breasts those can be additional physical signs that your breasts may be problematic.

What happens when I schedule a consultation with Dr. Marucci?

During your initial visit, Dr. Marucci will listen to your concerns and ask you about all the pain and visible signs you are experiencing. He will review your medical history and then, during an examination of your breasts, detailed measurements and photographs will be taken to include in your medical records. Dr. Marucci will evaluate his findings and then recommend a course of treatment. You may require a pre operative mammogram to make sure there are no signs of breast disease before any breast reduction surgery. Please note that in many cases you would see Dr. Marucci on at least two separate occasions before any procedures are performed to be certain that he has answered all your questions and satisfied any last-minute concerns you may have.

HOW WOULD DR. MARUCCI REDUCE MY BREAST SIZE?

The actual breast reduction procedure, also known as reduction mammoplasty, removes excess tissue (fat and gland tissue) in your breasts whilst your once sagging nipples are repositioned. The goal is to achieve a new breast size that is in correct, comfortable proportion to your body. Once that is achieved, any pain and discomfort you had been living with will be eliminated. Following surgery, dressings, or surgical bandages will cover the incisions. And, during the healing process, a support bra can be worn to support your breasts.
