4 Reasons Patients Choose Breast Reduction
Breast reduction at New Jersey’s Burnett Plastic Surgery is a very personalized surgery, with patients choosing to have their breast volume reduced for any number of reasons. Dr. Carlos Burnett meets with every patient for a personalized consultation in order to understand what is driving the desire for breast reduction and learn how to best provide the ideal results. After years of performing this surgery, here are five of the most common reasons he hears form patients who their breasts reduced:
1. Discomfort
Overly large breasts can cause discomfort in multiple ways. The heavy pull downward on the chest can create back pain and a constant feeling of weight. Furthermore, large breasts straining in a bra can cause the straps to dig into the shoulders. Reducing their volume can bring relief that patients welcome.
2. Attention
It remains a sad fact that women with overly large breasts can draw unwanted attention from people who openly look at, point out, or discuss their breast size. It is very important to note that this is no fault of the patient’s! That said, some women choose to reduce their breast volume in order to avoid this situation.
3. Clothing Options
Women who have large breasts often complain about their clothing options, since not all shirts, tops, and outfits are made with their proportions in mind. What may fit well across the chest ends up baggy in other areas, while tops with better overall fits can be too tight in the chest because of the significant breast volume. Breast reduction surgery can create proportions that allow for better fits.
4. Activity
Sometimes, large breasts simply get in the way. Athletic women, those who like to play recreational games with friends, and people who are generally active—from jogging to yoga—can find that the weight and size of their breasts make certain activities more of a challenge than they should be.
