Women with very large breasts may suffer from pack pain, skin infections under the breast folds and breathing difficulties. During the operation extra fat, skin and breast tissue are removed and the surgeon designs a smaller breasts according to woman's proportions.

There are two ways to perform breast reduction: one with longer scar or an "anchor" scar, which is the procedure of choice in a case of very large breasts. The surgeon cuts through the nipple down and behind the breast folds. Afterward the surgeon lifts the nipple upward and shapes the breast. The second one is with a smaller scar, which is suitable for a medium size breasts. The cut is made only through the nipple and through the fold. Sometime the extra skin is not fully removed which leaves some skin folds beneath the breasts. Those usually disappear after 3-5 month (in case they persist afterward you might need an additional surgery to remove them).

  • Anchorage Get around

    Anchorage has a poor public transportation system. Buses do not cover the entire city, and they run often infrequently. Anchorage is also not very walkable, with the exception of the compact downtown area. As such, most people who want to travel in and around Anchorage rent cars.

    Anchorage International Airport is serviced by all of the major national rental car chains as well as a number of independents. A few companies have off-airport locations. Renting from these locations avoids the 11-12% airport concession recovery fee. If you're arriving in the summer, plan ahead, as most rental companies are pretty much sold out from mid-June through the end of August. In the summer, cars are often not available without reservations, and even if they are, be prepared to pay top-dollar for them.

    Three taxi companies serve the Anchorage area: Alaska Cab/Yellow Cab (they have combined service) and Checker Cab. The airport maintains a taxi stand on the arrivals level. The current municipality-set rate for all taxis is $2.00 for the flag drop and $2.00 per mile; the time-based rate is $.50 per minute. The average fare to downtown runs about $15 one way.

    Many hotels offer also courtesy shuttle vans that stop at the airport near the taxi stand. Several courtesy phone banks are located inside the baggage claim areas.


  • Anchorage Get in

    Anchorage is served by most major American airlines. Air travel is the cheapest and most efficient form of transportation in and out of the state. Non-stop flights are available from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Mineapolis, Chicago, and Taipei year-round, and more locations in the summer. Most arriving and departing out-of-state flights are late-night "red-eyes," but there are often many daytime flight to and from Seattle. Anchorage recently completed extensive remodeling and construction at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport(IATA: ANC) (ICAO: PANC)[2] to help accommodate the upsurge in tourism (unofficial sources have estimated the numbers for 2004 at some four million tourists arriving in Alaska between May and September).
