Typical Breast Reduction Patients
There is no one breast reduction patient that typifies the many reasons why a woman may seek breast reduction. Women who seek breast reduction surgery are often looking for relief from one or more of the issues associated with large breasts. There are a myriad of reasons, many stemming from the pain and discomfort of having big breasts and many others for purely personal or esthetic reasons.
Some of the reasons that you may opt for breast reduction surgery are:
- Experiencing pain involving the back, shoulder, or neck
- Indentations in the skin of the shoulder from strain of bra straps
- Tiredness and lethargy from carrying weight of oversized or big breasts
- Depression and feelings of low self-esteem and self-consciousness
- Difficulties in exercising or enjoying physical activities or sports
- Limitations in finding clothing that comfortably and esthetically accommodate for the size of big breasts
- Mammograms that are painful and require increased measures to ensure accuracy
- Having one breast that is larger than the other
- Heavy large breasts with nipples and areolas that droop
- Irritation of the skin under the large breasts
