Dr. Shaw explains which women are good candidates for a breast reduction.
Dr. Shaw:
A good candidate for a breast reduction would be obviously when the breast is larger than you would like. Oftentimes the large breast, or a sagging breast as well, can lead to neck problems, shoulder problems and other physical problems that would necessitate that. So, other than the cosmetic appearance, there’s a health benefit to reducing the breast.
