When is a breast reduction needed?

Large breasts can cause multiple problems, including neck, back, shoulder pain, headaches, shoulder-grooving (bra-straps digging in), interference with activities and exercise, rashes under the breasts, inability to find clothing that fits properly and psychological problems with self-image. As a result, women with large breasts are often in chronic pain, have little energy and may be overweight because they are unable to exercise, which prevents them from enjoying a higher quality of life.

Breast reduction surgery as an option.

While weight loss and exercise are often suggested by most physicians prior to surgery, these efforts are often futile. Weight loss usually does not alleviate the symptoms of large breasts. Medications may be of some benefit, but usually the effect is limited. Invariably, breast reduction surgery is the most effective, efficient and most successful way to treat problematic large breasts.

During the breast reduction operation, the nipples-areola complex is moved to a higher position on your breasts. This is usually accomplished without removing your nipples. The technique used to do this is called breast transposition, in which the nipple stays fully attached to the breast and only the surrounding skin is moved. As the nipple preserves its attachment, most women retain nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Only in cases where the breasts are severely enlarged do the nipples require free grafting (completely detached from the body). Childbirth and breast-feeding may have significant and unpredictable effects on the size and shape of your breasts. Nevertheless, many women decide to undergo breast reduction before having children and feel that they can address any subsequent changes later. If you plan to breast-feed in the future, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
