Long-term studies have found the satisfaction rate of breast reduction surgery is an astounding 95%, even when women were surveyed ten years after their initial procedure. So, what makes so many women thrilled about their breast reduction results? These four extra perks that tend to come along with a breast reduction leave the vast majority of patients with no regrets.
1. Relief From Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain
Carrying around extra weight in your chest puts added pressure on your back, neck and shoulders, leaving many well-endowed women with chronic pain. Breast reduction surgery can significantly ease this pain by, literally, lightening the load your shoulders have to carry.
If you often notice that your bra straps dig into your shoulders, leaving painful red marks, this could be a sign breast reduction may be right for you.
2. Improved Posture
Also caused by extra weight in your chest, poor posture often goes hand-in-hand with larger breasts. Over time, slouching forward can cause back and neck pain, premature joint degeneration, and weakened abdominal muscles.
Once the extra weight is removed from your chest, you will likely notice how much easier is to sit and stand straighter.
3. More Comfortable Exercise
One of the most common complaints from women with very large breasts is that physical activity is uncomfortable or even downright impossible. After a breast reduction, women report being able to engage in activities like jogging, swimming, or playing sports that were uncomfortable or even painful before.
4. Renewed Self-Confidence
Many women with overly large breasts have spent years feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable in their skin. Breast reduction can provide a renewed sense of self-confidence — not to mention a new wardrobe!
