If you have struggled with overly large breasts, you may have considered breast reduction surgery. But how do you know if this procedure is right for you? Understanding who makes an ideal candidate can help you determine if breast reduction is likely to meet your needs and goals. Here are some of the signs that this surgery may be right for you.
Your Breasts Are Causing Physical Discomfort
One key factor that indicates you may benefit from breast reduction is if your breast size is causing ongoing physical pain or discomfort. Large, heavy breasts can strain your back, neck, and shoulders, resulting in chronic headaches, pain, and posture issues. If you find yourself struggling with grooves from your bra straps digging into your shoulders, rashes under your breasts, or simply difficulty finding bras and tops that fit properly, a breast reduction could reduce this discomfort. The surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, creating smaller, lighter breasts that place less strain on your neck, back, and shoulders.
Your Breasts Are Disproportionately Large
In addition to causing physical discomfort, disproportionately large breasts for your body frame are another sign you may wish to pursue breast reduction surgery. The procedure can reshape your breasts so they are more balanced with your overall figure. If you feel your bust size overwhelms your proportions, making you self-conscious about your appearance, breast reduction can help align your upper body into better proportions.
You Have Emotional Difficulties Due to Your Breast Size
Along with physical issues, disproportionately large breasts can also take an emotional toll. You may feel self-conscious about unwanted attention or difficulty finding clothing that fits properly. Breast reduction surgery could vastly improve your self-confidence and body image. If you experience emotional hardship due to your breast size, breast reduction can offer new freedom and confidence. By creating a better proportion, this surgery helps your appearance align with your inner vision of yourself.
