Is Breast Reduction Right for You?

There are many women that are concerned about the size of their breasts. Not always because they are too small, but also because they are too large. While some women seek a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, others are looking for ways to reduce the size of their breasts. If you have larger breasts and wish they were smaller, there are options to surgically change their size.

Problems from Large Breasts

While small breasted women seek augmentation mostly for aesthetics, reduction in breast size is usually a health or comfort concern. Large breasts can be cumbersome and cause a variety of issues. Some of the physical reasons larger-breasted women seek reduction include:

  • Back pain
  • Inference with physical activity or sports
  • Skin problems
  • Neck and shoulder pain

On top of the physical problems large breasts can cause, many women also do not enjoy the look of large breasts. They can be the first feature that people notice and it can be difficult to find flattering clothes that fit correctly.

If any of these problems sound familiar, you may be a good candidate for breast reduction or mammaplasty. During this procedure, excess breast tissue and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped at a smaller size. You can discuss the exact size you would prefer with your plastic surgeon. An experienced plastic surgeon can often hide the scars from the surgery, like breast augmentations, so that the breasts look natural and the scars are unnoticeable.

If you are tired of living with the physical problems and aesthetics of large breasts, consult a plastic surgeon to learn more about breast reduction surgery. This surgery has offered relief for many women, making it worth the investment.
