How Breast Reduction Surgery Can Change Your Life

When someone thinks of a "boob job," what many of us typically think of first is someone looking to enlarge their breasts. However, that is not always the case; in fact, sometimes the reverse is true. There's actually a wide variety of reasons that a woman might seek to reduce her breast size. That's where breast reduction surgery comes in. Let's dive into some of the most common reasons and benefits behind this lesser-discussed cosmetic surgery!

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

The technical term for breast reduction surgery is a reduction mammoplasty, and the purpose is to change the size, weight, and/or shape of a woman's breasts.

During a breast reduction procedure, your doctor may remove extra skin, fat, and breast tissue. The breasts are also typically lifted higher to create symmetry. The areolas may also be adjusted in size to match the new breasts.

Why Choose Breast Reduction Surgery?

There are many reasons a woman might decide to reduce the size and weight of her breasts - often the decision is based on multiple of these factors.

For many, the choice is less aesthetic, and more practicality-based. For example, the most common reason women undergo breast reduction surgery is to alleviate back and shoulder pain. Others find that the weightiness of their breasts often gets in the way many day to day activities, such as exercising, and would rather go with out this daily difficulty. Some women, however, simply want a smaller, younger-looking chest.

• Displeasure with having large or heavy breasts

• Constant back and shoulder pain

• Uncomfortable workouts due to large breasts

• Rashes underneath the breast crease

• Bra straps digging into your shoulders, causing irritation or nerve issues
