In addition to causing discomfort and pain, large breasts can be embarrassing, especially if their size is disproportionate to the rest of your body. Teen-agers and young women are sometimes too embarrassed to wear bathing suits or some types of clothing.
The surgical procedure to reduce the size and shape of the breasts could be a good way to make breasts smaller, firmer, lighter or more evenly proportioned. Women who have breast reduction surgery are often extremely satisfied with the outcome, according the WebMD.
There are things to consider before going forward with such a procedure. You might lose sensation in your breasts and nipples, which usually lasts a few months. You might not be able to breastfeed after surgery, but that isn’t always the case. And some women who are prone to scarring might want to proceed with caution.
Talk to your doctor to see if breast reduction is right for you.
