Breast reduction can improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of your breasts in addition to alleviating the many annoying and even debilitating symptoms of overly large breasts.

Over time ALL breast reductions will "bottom out" or sag.  Bottoming out usually occurs more quickly when reduction techniques which use the skin envelope to shape and hold the reduced breast tissue are performed.

"Parenchymal" techniques which use the breast tissue itself to shape the reduced breasts have more lasting results.

Nonetheless, over time the weight of your reduced breasts will cause the tissues to sag or droop.
