Health Risks of Large Breasts

While many women dream of having larger, fuller breasts, those that were born well-endowed are often plagued by issues that affect their health. Even those that enjoy the look and shape of their larger breasts are most likely dealing with health issues that are directly related to the excess weight they add to the front of their body. Here are some of the problems that large breasts can cause:

  • Back pain. The mere weight of larger breasts can cause excess stress on the back, especially for the active woman. Many women with large breasts complain of constant back pain from supporting this weight.
  • Nerve issues. Some women with larger breast have nerve problems in their neck and shoulders that can cause numbness in their arms and hands. This can be caused by poor posture from slumping forward due to the heaviness of their breasts.
  • Skin irritation. Large breasts can cause skin irritation from the rubbing of the bra under the breast or the pressure of the straps on the shoulders. Also, the moist area under the breast can become inflamed with rashes and become sore.

Some women are willing to live with these health issues to keep their large breasts. However, even a small breast reduction can make a large difference in reducing many of these symptoms. A woman can still have big, full breasts after a surgical reduction while ridding herself of the pain and other health issues.

If you are tired of living with the health issues of large breasts, consult an experienced plastic surgeon about breast reduction surgery. It could improve your quality of life and health.
