Overview
While many women seek to enlarge their breasts with breast augmentation surgery, there are many who wish to reduce the size because they feel they are too large and too heavy. These women often find themselves faced with problems, such as difficulty fitting into normal size clothing, unable to participate in sports or exercise, and back and neck pain due to the heavy feeling. Large breasts can make your figure disproportionate. With a breast reduction surgery from Frisco, TX (and surrounding areas, Plano, Allen, McKinney) plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera, the breasts can be reduced to a normal size, lifted for a more youthful shape, and made to appear youthful and healthy. This surgery can be instrumental for many women, decreasing the pain and embarrassment of living with overly large breasts.
