BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS
Excessively large breasts can cause a range of physical and emotional problems, self-image issues and physical pain. Common effects of large breasts include:
| Pain in the back, neck and shoulders | |
| Increasingly poor posture | |
| Soreness from bra straps digging into shoulders | |
| Difficulty finding bras and clothing that fit | |
| Rashes under the breasts | |
| Inability to participate in many physical activities | |
| Lack of confidence and self esteem |
Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, can help relieve these problems. Breast reduction surgery can be performed at any age, but most doctors recommend that is best to wait until the breasts are fully formed. Usually this is after the age of 20. There are times, however, when the surgery is performed on teenage girls, especially if the individual is feeling emotionally or psychologically stressed due to excessive breast size.
If you plan to have children and are looking forward to breastfeeding, you may want to put off the surgery until after you have your children. That’s because it may be difficult to breast feed after breast reduction surgery.
The pattern for breast reduction surgery is the same as a breast lift. In addition to the lift, excess breast tissue is removed. Liposuction may be performed with reduction to sculpt the surrounding areas for better contour.
After your surgery, you will feel tired and will experience soreness and swelling. Your doctor will prescribe medication to help you feel more comfortable. You should plan on taking at least one week off while you recuperate. Physical activity should be kept to a minimum for a week or two, and heavy lifting or pushing should be avoided for three or four weeks. Your doctor may suggest wearing a special soft surgical bra or athletic bra for extra support. Your stitches will be removed in 2-3 weeks.
