FAQs – Breast Reduction in Chicago

Large breasts are not always a blessing. Sometimes, they cause health-related issues. If this sounds like you, it may be time to get a breast reduction in Chicago. Schedule a consultation at aFresh® Med Spa & Plastic Surgery in Glenview to learn more.

What is a Breast Reduction?

A woman’s breast size should generally be proportionate to the rest of her body. That’s the purpose of a breast reduction. During the procedure, we can remove excess tissue, skin and fat. Afterward, the breasts are smaller and more contoured. The surgeon can reduce stretched areolas and large nipples during the same procedure.

Who is a Candidate for a Breast Reduction?

Some women with large breasts suffer from related physical problems. Large breasts can cause back and neck pain, for example. In addition, many women get frequent rashes underneath their breasts. It’s not uncommon for these rashes to get infected. Further, it can be costly to have larger breasts. A person with very large breasts may have trouble finding a bra to fit in a department store. Rather, they must buy bras at pricey specialty shops.

Generally speaking, good candidates for a breast reduction in Chicago:

  • Have realistic expectations
  • Have oversized breasts
  • Are in good overall health
  • Are at a stable weight
