When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, breast reduction surgery is a safe and effective way of enhancing your appearance and quality of life. You may be a good candidate for this cosmetic surgery if:
- Your breasts are too large in proportion to the rest of your body

What Is a Breast Reduction Exactly?
When it comes to discussing what a breast reduction is, it is very easy for people to fall into the trap of stating that it is a procedure that will reduce the size of your breasts. While not technically incorrect, this answer leaves out lots of critical information that is relevant to those who are deciding if a breast reduction procedure is right for them.
A breast reduction involves a surgeon removing excess breast fat and tissue so that the breast becomes a more manageable size for the individual. Often, breast reduction techniques are paired with liposuction to help make the procedure more effective. In special cases where the size of the breast is mostly a result of excess unwanted fat, liposuction may be sufficient to achieve the desired results all on its own.
What Are the Main Benefits of a Breast Reduction?
If you think that your breasts are too large and that having smaller breasts will allow you to look and feel better, then a breast reduction might be right for you. Some of the most common, profound benefits that patients gain from a breast reduction are:
1. Elimination of Pain and Discomfort
The most common reason women look to undergo a breast reduction is so that they can remove the physical pain that their breasts put on the rest of their bodies. Many chronic neck, back, and shoulder issues can develop because of the physical toll that comes with large breasts. A breast reduction procedure can do wonders to relieve the aches and soreness that you may be experiencing.
2. Start Living a More Active Lifestyle
In many cases, large breasts tend to get in the way of regular body movements. This can discourage many women from participating in sports, activities, and feeling confident enough to exercise. This can also lead to stress injuries due to the repetitive motions during many exercises and activities. After your breast reduction surgery, you will find it easier to participate in activities with improved balance, mobility, and flexibility.
3. Give Your Self-Esteem a Boost
Feeling unhappy or self-conscious about the shape or size of your large breasts is an awful feeling. Everybody deserves to love the body that they live in. Breast reduction surgery is an option that allows women to feel more comfortable in their own skin. If you are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts, a breast reduction procedure may be what you need to start to feel like yourself again.
4. Start Wearing More Clothes That Fit
For women with excessively large breasts, especially those with small frames, it can be a challenge finding clothes that fit them properly. Clothes either fit the chest region, or the rest of the body, leading to an awkward choice of where you are willing to feel more uncomfortable, in your breasts or the rest of your body. A breast reduction procedure will give you a more streamlined, proportioned physique, which means that you will have more clothing options, freedom of choice, and more savings.
5. Reduction in Chafing, Infections, and Rashes Under the Breasts
The main issue that bothers some women with their breasts is the chaffing, rashes, and infections that can develop under the breasts, or uncomfortable, improperly fitting bras. Skin irritation that comes from large breasts can be among the most painful feelings. A breast reduction procedure can help to remove this discomfort and allow you to live and move free of this pain.
Enjoy a Happier and Healthier Life
