Reduce Pain with Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction

There are many potential causes of back pain. For women, having large breasts can be a big one. Rather than just living with the pain, it may be a good idea to look into breast reduction. One procedure can help take the strain off of your back, helping you breathe easier and improving your quality of life.

The Connection Between Large Breasts and Back Pain

The problem with large breasts has to do with their weight. There is not enough support from the surrounding muscles, putting all of the strain on your back and shoulders. This causes many women with larger breasts to slouch, which can cause further pain and eventually spinal deformities. Some women are bothered by the appearance of their large breasts, causing them to hunch forward to hide them. This also can contribute to posture issues and pain. The medical term for large breasts is macromastia.

Breast Reduction Surgery

Although there are some non-surgical things that can be tried, such as special bras and medication, a more permanent solution is a breast reduction, which is more technically known as reduction mammaplasty. This surgery can permanently ease the strain on your back, allowing you to stand up straighter and live pain-free.

A study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgery found that over half of the women they surveyed with breasts size DD or larger experience back pain. After breast reduction surgery, this number dropped to only 10%.

Other Benefits of Breast Reduction

On top of alleviating back pain, there are other perks of having a breast reduction, including:

  • Reducing nerve pain
  • Improving self-image
  • Reducing difficulty finding tops that fit
  • Treating chronic skin irritation underneath the breasts
  • Reducing limitations to physical activities due to breast size
  • Reducing neck and shoulder pain

Large breasts can lead to excessive sweating, decreased nipple sensitivity, tingling in the hands, and other unpleasant symptoms. Women with large breasts also have to deal with their bra straps digging into their shoulders and causing extra pain. Once you are no longer weighed down by your chest, you may find yourself exercising more and leading an overall healthier lifestyle. Having the size of your breasts reduced can be a step toward a healthier, happier life.
