Breast Reduction
While many women seek to enlarge their breasts with breast augmentation surgery, there are many who wish to reduce the size because they feel they are too large and too heavy. These women often find themselves faced with problems, such as difficulty fitting into normal size clothing, unable to participate in sports or exercise, and back and neck pain due to the heavy feeling. Large breasts can make your figure disproportionate. With a breast reduction procedure from our Frisco plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera, the breasts can be reduced to a normal size, lifted for a more youthful shape, and made to appear youthful and healthy. This surgery can be instrumental for many women, decreasing the pain and embarrassment of living with overly large breasts.

“ Went back for the 2nd time under the knife for had a breast reduction with Dr Najera. Im very happy with both procedures 10yrs apart but i can only trust him. I have not experienced any pain on neither my tummy tuck nor my breast reduction. I was back at work 3 days after. Highly recommend!”
