What is a breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is a cosmetic surgery that reduces the size of the breasts by removing excess breast tissue and skin. Surgeons can also reposition the nipple so it's in proportion to the new breast shape.

5 Signs you might benefit from a Breast Reduction:

1. You suffer from pain.

Living with very large breasts often means more than just carrying extra weight. You may suffer from back, neck and shoulder pain, needing to take medication to ease. The weight of your breasts may also be causing your bra straps to dig in and leave shoulder grooves, leaving you in discomfort.

Breast reduction surgery offers relief from this physical discomfort. Imagine a day without being in discomfort or having to tighten your bra straps!

2. You suffer from irritation.

Having larger breasts can lead to uncomfortable chafing, rashes, and skin irritation, particularly in and under the breast crease. This is due to friction and moisture retention.  In more severe situations, these issues can escalate into painful infections.

Fortunately, breast reduction surgery offers a solution. By skilfully removing excess breast tissue and skin, particularly from underneath and around the breasts, the surgery significantly lowers the risk of such irritations. This not only enhances your physical comfort but also improves your overall quality of life.

3. You have difficulty when it comes to physical activities.

Larger breasts can make it difficult or painful to participate in sports, exercise or other physical activities, especially high intensity workouts!

Removing the excess fat and reducing the overall volume of the breast tissue will make it much easier and more comfortable to exercise. This will also have a positive impact on your general health, as it will help you achieve your fitness goals.

4. You struggle for clothing options.

Big boobs makes shopping for a new wardrobe a nightmare. It can often be difficult to find suitable clothing when you have larger breasts, especially if your breast size is not in proportion with the rest of your upper body.  Don’t even get started on underwear shopping! Finding a bra that fits bigger than a 40DD makes high-street stores and popular brands like Victoria secret a no go!! Especially if you suffer from a small back size as well as larger breasts!

A breast reduction can make it easier to find comfort and confidence by wearing tighter clothing and can make shopping much less complicated.

5. You battle with low self - esteem.

Living with larger breasts can cause individuals to be self-conscious and impact their self-esteem. With larger breasts causing such negative impact for some peoples mental health, breast reductions aim to improve confidence and help individuals feel more comfortable with their appearance and body shape.
