What are the Benefits of Breast Reduction?

If you have extremely large breasts that make you feel uncomfortable or self-conscious, a breast reduction can change your life for the better. Breast reduction reduces the size and weight of the breasts and can be done for cosmetic or functional benefits.

At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery, we understand that the decision to undergo breast reduction is a personal one. Consequently, Dr. Coville will work with you to create a surgical plan based on your unique needs, so you can achieve the breast reduction benefits you desire.

What’s Involved in Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction surgery reduces the size of the breasts by removing excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue. The procedure takes 2-3 hours on average and is typically performed on an outpatient basis.

The technique used to perform breast reduction will vary based on the amount of reduction required, the condition of the breasts, and skin tone.

5 Incredible Benefits of Breast Reduction

1. Alleviates Physical Discomfort

Having large breasts is more than a cosmetic issue. Carrying around all that extra weight on the chest can cause a range of physical problems including, neck, shoulder, and back pain, poor posture, breathing problems, and skin irritation. Breast reduction surgery alleviates the physical discomfort associated with having overly large breasts.

2. Improves Body Proportions

Many women with large breasts have a small frame, and this means their breasts are out of proportion with the rest of their bodies. Reducing the size of the breasts improves body proportions and creates a more balanced figure.

3. Freedom to Enjoy An Active Lifestyle

Women with overly large breasts are often unable to engage in certain physical activities because their breasts get in the way. The problem is often aggravated when they cannot get the supportive bras they need to exercise comfortably. Breast reduction gives women the freedom to participate in new adventures and enjoy an active lifestyle. 

4. Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem

Women with large breasts often feel awkward because of their breast size,  and this contributes to low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. The enhanced body image they experience after breast reduction boosts their self-esteem, and makes them feel more confident in their appearance.

5. Easier Finding Clothes That Fit

Shopping for clothes and finding the right fit can be challenging for women with large breasts because clothing options are limited. Clothes that fit their breasts are often too big for their frame, so finding the ideal size is often impossible. Breast reduction surgery opens up new clothing options, which is a wonderful benefit of breast reduction.

Women who undergo a breast reduction are generally satisfied with their results and happy they made the decision to downsize their breasts.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you are bothered by the size of your large breasts or experience physical discomforts such as pain in the neck, shoulders, or back.
