Breast reduction gives overly large breasts a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, but its benefits are not just cosmetic. This transformative procedure is also well-known for enhancing a patient’s physiological, psychological, and emotional well-being. Large, heavy breasts can make even simple daily tasks more difficult and uncomfortable, forcing many women to live their life dealing with back and neck pain, shoulder grooving (bra strap indentations), skin chafing, and limitations on your ability to exercise, among other symptoms. Dieting and exercise do nothing to target excess breast tissue, and chest-related workouts are ineffective in reducing the actual breast size. Fortunately, breast reduction surgery provides women with a solution to remove excess glandular (breast) tissue, skin, and fat, thereby restoring more comfortable breast proportions while rejuvenating the breast shape. In turn, patients enjoy adjunctive health benefits after breast reduction, including:
- Greater mobility, making exercise, sports, and physical activities much easier and more enjoyable
- Reduced (or even eliminated) pain in the neck, back, and shoulders
- No more trouble with deep grooves and indentations in the shoulders, which is caused by the bra supporting the weight of overly large breasts
- Improved posture and less stress on the spine
- A more positive self-image and increased confidence
- Less rashes, chafing, and skin irritation
- Easier ability to fit into clothing and swimsuits
Although benefits may vary from person to person, most breast reduction patients feel they’ve been given a new lease on life after their procedure and become more optimistic and active.
