Big breasts can be a big pain. Bra straps too tight, cutting into skin. Interference with sporting activities. Can't easily find nice clothes that fit. Not to mention just looking unusual.

Essentially, excessive breast volume arises from either too much glandular breast tissue, too much breast fat, or both.

Those with too much glandular breast tissue are generally best served by undertaking formal breast reduction surgery if they want a very substantial reduction and want to change their breast shape but don't mind the scarring that occurs with this surgery. On the other hand, those with a lot of glandular breast tissue will generally still have some breast fat tissue that can be removed. Modest reduction in breast volume follows liposuction in such cases.

Those with too much breast fat will generally get more substantial volume reduction from breast liposuction, the average reduction being 40% of breast volume. Such patients are typically, but not always, generally overweight at least to some degree. Others may not be overweight, but with age may have seen their previously full glandular breasts develop a less glandular and more fatty structure. Both are suitable for breast liposuction.
