Overly large breasts can definitely be a burden that can cause both health and emotional issues for some women. In addition to self-image issues, the pain and discomfort caused from having overly large breasts can include back pain, a hunched posture, and stress injuries to the shoulders and upper extremities.
With breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin is removed to achieve a breast size in proportion to the rest of the body to alleviate stress on the back. For many women, this surgery not only provides benefits to their physical health, but also their mental health.
