To explore the indications and benefits of breast reduction. The investigators suspect all of the patients in this population suffer from neck/back pain and limitations in function. The investigators also want to review the patients in this group to determine if the amount of breast tissue removed or previous breast size affects outcomes for these patients. Patients will then be contacted for outcome data and satisfaction information. Ultimately, this information may lead to improvements in management and education of patients with macromastia.
