Breast Reduction Before and AftersMost women have moved on from those uncomfortable middle school memories and the changes our bodies go through during the stages of puberty. The breasts painfully bud and hormones begin to alter our chemistry. As our body develops and grows, so too comes body changes that make life more stressful and cumbersome such as acne, menses, significant weight changes, and or increasingly larger breasts.

While some envy the women with naturally endowed breasts, the experience can be anything but sexy and comfortable. Larger breasts can bring all sorts of debilitations such as significant back pain, inhibited cardiovascular exercise, misaligned posture, self-consciousness or negative body image, gouges and red marks in the shoulders from bra straps, and or improperly fitted clothing. A surgical breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is the 5th most commonly performed cosmetic surgery says the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and is the answer to women seeking help.

Scores of these larger breasted women have complained of the pendulous shape, the inhibiting weight, or the constant unwanted attention to the chest unless hidden in misshaped, poorly fitted clothing. To rid the body frame of these undesirable heavily, weighted breasts by means of a breast reduction might be surgically sufficient to meet one’s aesthetic goals. For others, opting for an areolar or nipple reduction and or liposuction to the sides might be the winning combination.

It’s important to be your own educated advocate as a cosmetic surgical patient. It takes time and patience. There are endless blogs on the internet today of detailed accounts of what women experience from the moment they decide to be surgically proactive, to their consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in search for the one that shares their ideal aesthetics for a breast reduction.
