I am a 20-year-old female
who has large breasts. Can I undergo surgery to reduce the size of my breasts? Part
1
Having large breasts is
something most women want. However, there are some women who do have large
breasts and they are not happy. Having large breasts is not always sexy, better
or beautiful. Some women with large breasts feel they are always ridiculed as
being “loose women” , "sex objects" or women who like to "sleep
around'.
For women with large
breasts, there is an option. Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammoplasty
is a refined art and can produce great results. While there are several
techniques for performing breast reduction, all of them have super to excellent
results (unless you select a bad surgeon).
In the USA, close to 100,000
women undergo breast reduction surgery. While many women undergo surgery
because of the poor cosmesis from large awkward breasts, there are also a fair
number of women who undergo surgery to relieve the physical symptoms such as:
- Neck pain that can be
moderate to severe
- Constant back pain
- Pain along the bra straps
- Deep grooves from bra
straps
- Unable to maintain an
upright posture
- Embarrassment and being
ridiculed
- Laughed at by both
genders
- Development of recurrent
infections/skin rash underneath the breast crease
- Having low self esteem
- Low confidence and
feeling isolated
- Have difficulty finding
proper clothes
- Finding appropriate bra
wear
