Breast Reduction

This woman needed a breast reduction desperately! At my New York practice, she complained about terrible back, neck, and shoulder pains, as well as bad rashes under the folds of her breasts. Interestingly, her nipple sensation improved with the operation. Plastic surgeons think this happens because there is less tension on the nerves with the reduced breast weight.
