Breast reduction surgery, officially known as reduction mammoplasty, can make a dramatic improvement to the lives of many women who have problems with excessive breast size. Breast reduction doesn’t get talked about in the public sphere nearly as much as breast augmentation, but it can offer even greater benefits to those who need it. By removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, a breast reduction procedure can improve your life, leaving patients with breasts more proportianate in size to their body frame.
If your breast size is proving to be a problem, here are five ways breast reduction can improve your life:
Fewer back, neck, and posture problems.
Only women with large breasts know this—large breasts can be a major problem for the body’s skeletal and muscular systems, throwing things off-balance and causing ongoing pain and discomfort. A breast reduction procedure can help decrease the load that your back and neck have to support on a daily basis, eliminating pain and soreness problems.
Enable you to participate in sports and other activities.
Women with large breasts are often limited in the types of activities they can participate in, and breast reduction surgery can help them be more active, with less discomfort.
Improvements in appearance.
Large breasts can often seem out of proportion with the rest of the patient’s body. They can also lead to other issues, like sagging. A breast reduction can lift the breast and bring it back in proportion with the rest of the body, leading to better aesthetics.
Easier to find clothes that fit.
Large breasts can often be a limiting factor when shopping for clothes, with every other part of the garment fitting except the chest area. A breast reduction procedure will make it easier to fit into conventional sizes.
Improved confidence.
Many women with excessively large breasts are self-conscious about that part of their bodies and spend a large amount of time worrying about getting adequate support and coverage to that region. A breast reduction surgery will help you move forward with confidence.
Many women who would make good candidates for a breast reduction procedure haven’t considered it because they assume there may be side effects. In fact, breast reduction surgery comes with a low risk of side effects, and you’ll be able to return home the same day as the procedure. Your plastic surgeon will be able to discuss the procedure’s risks with you during your initial consultation.
