Many women struggle with the decision to have a breast reduction, but afterwards consider it one of the best decisions they ever made for themselves.
Women pursue this surgery for various reasons, but all with the goal of enhancing their overall quality of life:
Improved confidence and self-expression
Many women say that after a breast reduction they are more confident in themselves and more comfortable in their own bodies.
Easier to shop
Women often report that finding clothes that fit them becomes much easier and they can shop at almost any store they want.
Back feels better
Women almost always report that having smaller breasts significantly reduces back pain and gives them newfound energy throughout the day.
Bras don't hurt
By removing weight from their breasts nearly all women experience a significant reduction in bra strap pain.
Exercise with ease
Women frustrated with the pain and discomfort of having overly large breasts can finally exercise in the way they want.
Skin feels better
For women with very large breasts, skin irritation under the breasts is common; this is significantly reduced after a breast reduction.
Easier to breathe
Women find it easier to breathe with smaller, more proportionate breasts.
Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction is a highly individualized procedure. You should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
Overly large breasts can cause health and emotional problems. In addition to self-image issues, you may also experience physical pain and discomfort. The weight of excess breast tissue can impair your ability to lead an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness often associated with having large pendulous breasts can be as important an issue as the physical discomfort and pain.
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are:
- Bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too large
- Struggling with physical activity due to the size of their breasts
- Experiencing back, neck and shoulder pain caused by the weight of their breasts
- Suffering from shoulder indentations caused by bra straps and/or have skin irritation beneath the breast crease
- Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
- Nonsmokers/non-vapers
- Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for breast reduction
