Look and Feel your Best with Breast Reduction in Atlanta
Breast reductions are fantastic procedures for women who have breasts that are out of proportion to the rest of their bodies, and they are some of the happiest patients Dr. Amy Alderman cares for. Women with large breasts often suffer from back and shoulder pain, posture issues, as well as difficulty participating in sports. However, breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) can make breasts smaller and create a more proportionate figure, while increasing comfort.

What Breast Reduction can do for your Health and Happiness
Dr. Alderman’s patients are so happy because of the cosmetic and functional benefits of the surgery: 1.) the breasts are lifted and reshaped, while the nipple is reduced and raised; 2.) patients experience less upper back and neck pain, have fewer rashes under their breasts, and have less shoulder grooving from their bra straps. Dr. Alderman loves seeing the smiles on patients’ faces when they tell her that they can now buy a regular bra off the shelf and not the million-dollar, heavily engineered bra contraption of the past.
Patients in all stages of life come to Dr. Alderman for this procedure. For younger patients, she makes sure their breasts have stopped growing before recommending a reduction. A great transition time to perform the reduction for younger patients is before college or before entering the workforce. Professional women, especially those who work in a male-dominated field, often desire a smaller breast size so that their breasts look in proportion to the rest of their body and do not draw attention – and older women are just over them! They tell Dr. Alderman that they were fun when they were younger, but now they are tired of the discomfort with exercise, tired of not finding normal bras to fit, and tired of looking matronly due to their large breast size. Dr. Alderman has never had a patient regret having breast reduction scars, and the procedure is associated with minimal postoperative pain.
Bottom line, breast reduction patients are always happy, happy, happy!
