NAVIGATEBreast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is an increasingly common procedure as women are recognising that having large breasts can be detrimental to their health, confidence and self-esteem.
Whilst the female breast has represented femininity in all societies through the generations, in those women who have very large breasts, what may be thought by others to be a blessing may in fact be a curse.
The most common concerns of women requesting breast reduction are:
- Back, neck and shoulder discomfort or pain
- Shoulder bra strap grooving
- Inability to exercise or play sport as a result of breast size
- Feeling self-consciousness, embarrassment or shyness because of breast size
- Difficulty in buying clothing due to imbalance in body proportion
Breast reduction surgery can relieve symptoms by correcting excessive breast weight, size and droopiness. This procedure provides better proportion whilst very importantly still preserving sufficient breast tissue to retain femininity.
At Cosmetic Surgery For Women, we know that this procedure has dramatically improved the quality of life for many women. By being more 'in proportion' the notion of femininity is immediately increased as has self-confidence, all because a more 'natural' look has been achieved. After their procedure women literally have had the weight relieved from their shoulders. Women often ask us, "Why didn't I have this done years ago?"
