Many women develop large breasts that are out of proportion to their body size after puberty or pregnancy. These women can have symptoms that include neck and back pain, rash, painful bra strap marks, difficulty fitting into clothes, tingling in the hands, and, in younger girls, difficulty adjusting socially. In these women, the breast can be reduced to a more normal size with complete relief of these symptoms. Dr. Hammond has developed a short scar technique that reduces the amount of scarring and greatly improves the post-operative aesthetics of the breasts. Insurance typically covers this procedure.
