Breast Reduction Surgery: Warning Signs You May Need It

If you’ve ever lived with an enlarged bosom you know what a hassle they can be. There are things you can do about the problem but figuring out what is best for you can be problematic. There is support bras and underwire to help alleviate some of the stress but there comes a point where that might not be enough. Breast reduction might be an option to consider but how can you know for sure?

The most popular reason that is cited for breast reduction surgery is pain. Most people don’t realize how much pain an enlarged bosom can cause on a woman. The weight that is associated with each teat can be 30 pounds or more. If you assume that each one weighs about the same amount that’s approximately 60 pounds or more sitting on her chest. The pull on the neck, shoulders, and back can cause her to be in excruciating pain all day long with little relief. Pain killers and muscle relaxers will only go so far and often are taken multiple times throughout the day. If you can associate how you feel with what has been described then this procedure may offer you a relief that you’ve only dreamed about.

While muscle fatigue is the most popular it isn’t the only reason. Many women who suffer from this condition find that they frequently have rashes underneath their teats. The rashes have a number of different causes. Heat, weight, size, rubbing of the areas against each other, and ill-fitting bras or shirts are just some of the causes. This discomfort can lead to other problems, especially if you continually break the skin by scratching. Broken skin can get infected if you don’t treat it correctly.

Women who seek breast reduction may also cite clothing as a possible reason. When you are disproportionally large you have the problem of finding shirts and bras that fit. Ill fitting bras can lead to problems such as rashes and pain from the straps being grooved into your shoulders.

You may also find that your large size prohibits you from exercising like you should. Because you can’t find a bra that adequately supports the excess weight doing exercises that require running, jumping, or jostling will be extremely painful. Not being able to exercise properly can lead to obesity which will make having a breast reduction more difficult than normal.

Breast reduction can help you get your body to its proportional size. It’s not just about ridding yourself of the excess weight and pain associated with the overly large bosom; it’s also about having a body that you’re not ashamed to have. Pain may be your biggest motivator but before you make your first appointment, as with any type of cosmetic surgery, ask yourself if this is what you really want. Are you doing this because you are tired of the aching, the ill fitting clothes, and even the rude comments or are you doing this because someone has told you to?
