Should I Get a Breast Reduction?

Breasts of all shapes and sizes are beautiful, but sometimes choosing beauty over comfort is not the best thing for a woman’s body. Large, heavy breasts can sometimes make a woman feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, making her wonder if breast reduction surgery should be in her future.

Besides the fact that cumbersome breasts may affect your confidence levels, they can also cause unwanted attention, back and neck pain, and other problems, like finding clothes that fit properly.

What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction removes excess skin, tissue, and fat from the breasts. The breasts are then reshaped to a more proportionate and desired size, and the nipple and areola are repositioned on the breast.

Am I a Candidate?

Candidates for breast reduction have realistic expectations, have overly large breasts, and experience some or all of these symptoms:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Back and neck pain
  • Chafing under the breasts
  • Difficulty fitting into clothing
  • Poor self-image

Results

Breast reduction results will be visible immediately; however, it is important to remember that it can take a couple months for the swelling to subside completely and for surgical scars to fade.
Results are meant to be permanent; however, breast size and shape can fluctuate with weight changes and the normal aging process.

Can I Combine My Breast Reduction Surgery?

Yes! Breast reduction surgery can be combined with breast lift surgery. Undergoing a lift with reduction will place your breasts at a more aesthetically pleasing position on your chest.
