When the breast is very large, redundant skin can be an issue. If obese, weight loss will help reduce fat in a general fashion. Unfortunately dieting can not be directed towards specific parts of the body and residual breast fullness often remains.

As the chest muscles become very large, breast gland and fat are pushed toward the surface becoming more obvious.
Surgical sculpture can remove excess gland and contour surrounding fat.
I prefer a combined approach when there is gland. Excision of the glandular mass through a small incision hidden at the junction of the areola and the chest. I then liposuction the surrounding fat restoring about the same thickness of the uninvolved chest. Liposuction uses high suction and a narrow long tube to remove fat cells. In cases where the problem is only localized fat, liposuction alone is effective.
