Breast reduction surgery for cancer patients and cosmetic treatment
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, serves two distinct purposes: therapeutic treatment for patients recovering from breast cancer and cosmetic improvement for those seeking relief from physical discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Both types of procedures can significantly improve a patient's quality of life, but the approach and considerations for each can differ.
