Breast reduction surgery is a common outpatient procedure in which the surgeon removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the breast. This not only balances the patient\u2019s body proportions, but it can also correct multiple problems associated with larger breasts. You may be considered a good candidate for a breast reduction if you answered yes to any of the following questions.<\/p>\n
If your breast size keeps you from exercising, performing tasks at work, participating in sports, or playing with your children, it may be time to think about a reduction. Large breasts may cause pain or discomfort when exercising or being active. Is it difficult to fasten your seat belt in the car? Do you shy away from hugging people? Is jumping up and down something to avoid? Common activities in everyday life may increase anxiety and stress if you have to look for ways to avoid them.<\/p>\n
Large breasts can cause chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Headaches may also result due to tension along the upper shoulders caused by deep bra strap grooving. The skin located beneath the breasts may become red, irritated and develop rashes from the constant chafing. Unbalanced weight dispersion can cause poor posture that may result in further issues due to your body alignment.<\/p>\n
Heavy, pendulous breasts with nipples that point downward or breasts large in proportion to your body frame may cause some insecurities. Avoiding mirrors or trying to hide your breast size with undergarments can be exhausting. If the size of your breasts affects you in an intimate setting then it may be time to consider a reduction.<\/p>\n
Shopping for bathing suits, bras, and blouses may be difficult depending on the size of your breasts. Rather than finding clothes you love, you may find yourself looking for anything that hides your chest. Clothing may not fit correctly or you may find yourself wearing larger sizes to accommodate your larger breasts.<\/p>\n
