Real Relief Starts With Breast Reduction Surgery in Paramus, New Jersey
Dr. Luis Zapiach has helped women across Bergen County trade chronic back and shoulder pain for lighter, more comfortable days. Insurance guidance and financing options are available, so cost never has to be a guessing game.
The Weight You've Been Carrying Is Real
Large, heavy breasts can affect far more than how your clothes fit. Many women live with constant back, neck, and shoulder pain, deep grooves from bra straps, skin irritation beneath the breast crease, and even numbness or tingling in the hands. Everyday activities like exercise, sleeping, and simply standing for long periods can become genuinely difficult.
Breast reduction surgery, known clinically as reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to bring your breasts into proportion with your body. A breast reduction will reduce the breast size and lift the breast at the same time.
Signs You May Be a Candidate
- Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain linked to breast size
- Grooves or indentations from bra straps digging into your shoulders
- Rashes, irritation, or chafing beneath the breast crease
- Numbness or tingling that radiates into your hands
- Trouble finding clothing or activewear that fits comfortably
- Breasts that feel disproportionate to your frame, or have begun to sag with age, weight change, or after pregnancy
- Headaches that may be caused by heavy breasts
