Breast Reduction
Dr. Kris Reddy FACS, West Palm Beach, Florida
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, performs breast
reduction surgery, also known as reduction
mammaplasty, to remove excess fat, glandular
(breast) tissue, and skin to place breasts back
in proper proportion to the body. Importantly,
breast reductions can alleviate neck, shoulder,
and/or knee pain that can result from heavy
breasts. Additional benefits are the lifting of
sagging breasts (improves ptosis), as well as
areolar reduction.

with the breast lift procedure. Utilizing the

FACS, a West Palm Beach, Florida board certified
plastic surgeon can raise and firm the breasts by
removing excess skin and tightening the
surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new
breast contour. Dr. Reddy, a West Palm Beach,
Florida board certified plastic surgeon, can also
perform the breast lift to reduce the size of the
areola.

Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia comes from the Greek words gyne
meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breast." In
practical terms, this means abnormally large
breasts on men. Therefore, Gynecomastia surgery
is breast reduction for men.
