Women with very large, pendulous breasts may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight-from back and neck pain and skin irritation to skeletal deformities and breathing problems. 

Bra straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. Unusually large breasts can make a women feel extremely self-conscious. Breast Reduction, or Reduction Mammaplasty, is designed for such women. The procedure removes fat, breast tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give a woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.
