Breast surgeries are the most popular cosmetic surgeries available in the United States today. While breast augmentation surgery is the most popular, there are many women who instead desire a reduction in the size of their breasts.
There are many reasons that some women desire a reduction in their breasts. Among these reasons are chronic back, shoulder and neck pain. In some of these instances, the procedure may even be covered by health insurance.
A breast reduction may be effective at alleviating the pain and discomfort associated with the following:
- Poor posture due to the weight on your chest.
- Breasts that are no longer proportional to your body shape.
- Back, neck or shoulder pain that can be attributed to added weight on your chest.
- One breast that is larger than the other.
- Breasts that are so large that the nipples point downward.
- Frequent skin irritations in the skin fold below the breast.
- An inability to comfortably enjoy everyday activities and exercise because of the weight of your chest.
