Although breast reduction surgery isn’t the most popular plastic surgery procedure for suitable patients, it can certainly have the most significant impact.
Reducing the size of a woman’s breasts might help her to move more quickly, relieve chronic pain from her back and shoulders, and overcome years of frustration and discomfort.
Large breasts can harm a woman’s health both physically and emotionally, sometimes making breast reduction a medical necessity.
If you’ve been struggling with the size of your large breasts, perhaps a breast reduction surgery would be appropriate for you.
Good Candidates for Breast Surgery
Any potential patient of breast surgery should be physically healthy enough for the procedure and healing process.
When you meet with your plastic surgeon, you should be in good overall health without any conditions that could delay healing or increase your risk factors for complications.
It would help if you were not a smoker, as this can lead to post-surgical severe dangers. It would help if you also had a reasonable expectation for your final results.
Your Body Proportions
During your breast reduction consultation, your surgeon will discuss the proportions of your body, which can help him or her determine the approximate size that your breasts can comfortably be.
Heavy breasts can strain the body, especially if you have a more petite frame. You could have an excessive amount of strain on your spine, hips, knees, and feet due to this disproportion.
Working together with your surgeon to determine your breasts’ right changes can reap significant benefits across the board, but especially where your physical health is concerned.
Your Body’s Mobility
If you’ve ever felt that your breasts get in the way of your daily activities, a breast reduction surgery might be appropriate for you.
Overly large, heavy breasts can make it hard to jump up and down, run or walk long distances, reach or bend over, pick up your children, carry groceries, and other regular activities.
Not only is it painful and uncomfortable to live like this, but it can be incredibly frustrating not to be able to manage basic tasks day in and day out. It can also make it very difficult for you to live an active, healthy lifestyle.
Consulting with a plastic surgeon about breast reduction can be the first step toward a more comfortable way to participate in your life again.
Your Breast Size: How Large Is Too Large?
It’s possible to have large breasts proportional to your body, so how can you tell if yours are too large for you? It might be evident to some women, but others may hesitate.
The truth is that any breasts that are large enough to get in your way can be considered for reduction surgery, so it’s worth the consultation. These characteristics can help you identify breasts that could benefit from a reduction:
- Pain in the back, neck, and shoulders that is persistent or chronic.
- Two deep indentations beneath your bra straps that don’t fade.
- Pain or discomfort in the breasts from physical activity, even when wearing a supportive bra.
- Embarrassment about your body, specifically your breasts.
- Trouble shopping for clothing that is large enough to fit your breasts while doing the rest of your body.
- Breasts that are pendulous in shape with large.
The best way to determine if breast reduction is the right surgery to achieve your desired results is to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Together, you can plan the correct procedure for yourself and find relief from your discomfort, social anxiety, and other stressors resulting from your large breast size.
