Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure to remove 
excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion
with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with excessively large
breasts (macromastia).

Disproportionately large breasts can cause both physical and emotional distress 
for patients. Patients with macromastia may experience physical discomfort resulting
from the weight of their breasts.

Some individuals may find it difficult to conduct typical physical tasks as a result
of the discomfort. Along with the physical ailments of macromastia, some patients
may suffer from emotional distress or more significant mental health problems as
a result of their large breasts.

In this procedure, an ultrasound scanner is utilized to precisely monitor the cannula
level and keep the injection (if needed) site in a safe plane, resulting in Safe
Mammaplasty Guided by Ultrasound Monitoring.
