Find relief with breast reduction

If you are living with large, heavy breasts, it is likely that you are weary of dealing with problems such as back and neck pain, deep bra strap grooves, rashes, or trouble finding properly-fitting clothing.

How does breast reduction work?

Breast reduction in Houston with Dr. Mohan can greatly help women who suffer the effects of large breasts. Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that effectively reduces the size and weight of the breasts, lifts the breast and nipple to the proper position, and tightens the skin. The result is much lighter, youthful, shapely breasts.

Imagine having the figure you want, rather than constantly dealing with overlarge, heavy, saggy breasts. Breast reduction surgery, when performed by Dr. Mohan, will reshape your natural breast tissue to create lovely, rounded, balanced breasts – at last. Please note that you must stop smoking for four weeks before and after all surgeries.
