Breast Reduction for Greater Comfort

A woman's bust can be a source of confidence. On one hand, some women who are not well endowed long for a boost in size, whether through implants or some other measure. On the other hand, there are women who have exceptionally large breasts and they spend most of their lives trying to lift, hold up, and disguise the attributes that encumber their wardrobe and physical comfort each day. In an age of bigger being better, there are some women who seek a breast reduction in order to feel the comfort and elevated esteem that other women get from enlarged breasts. There are many reasons for a woman to consider breast reduction. First, she may feel unattractive with a noticeably large and heavy bust. She may believe that they make her look overweight. She may wish to fit her clothing better. Second, the patient may need the surgery to reduce intense pain in her back or shoulders from the weight of her chest. The weight may also be causing breathing difficulty that she and her physician are concerned about. So, she seeks out a talented plastic surgeon in order to trim down her size while maintaining the beauty of the natural feature. The surgical techniques for a breast reduction include the T-scar technique, inverted T outline, lollipop, and keyhole or donut incisions. The method applied is truly dependent upon the size of breasts the patient is trying to reduce. Some methods are inappropriate for an extremely large chest size or elderly patients. Overall, the techniques are similar to the performance of a breast lift, except there are more options available to the plastic surgeon and, of course, more tissue and skin that needs to be removed. The breast reduction procedure can be accompanied by the lift procedure in order to help provide a well-rounded experience for those patients who have noticed the pull of gravity cause their figure to droop and sag over time. Post operation, patients feel lighter and enjoy shopping for smaller shirts, dresses, and jackets. They feel free of the burden of back pain, being short of breath or appearing to weigh more than they actually do. Large breasts may be ideal to some but it can be cumbersome for others. Women who require breast reduction answer the question as to whether can one's breasts ever be too large. For these women the answer is yes.
