While a curvy figure is a sign of femininity, some women have breasts that cause them discomfort and may find their curves cumbersome. Large breasts can be a burden, or even cause pain for some. Certain body types can make these symptoms worse. For women with larger breasts, a breast reduction may be an excellent solution. Some women feel reducing their breast size is a way to improve their quality of life. However, concerns about the breast reduction recovery timeline, breast reduction cost, or the uncertainty of whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure may be slowing your decision.

Fortunately, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery can help you decide if the procedure is right for you. Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery is a great option for plastic surgery in New York. Here are the four common signs you could benefit from breast reduction surgery:

1) Back, Shoulder and Neck Issues

The most common symptom that your breasts are straining your body is pain. Heavy breasts can cause regular strain on your shoulders, back, and neck, usually resulting in aching or pain. Another sign is uncomfortable indentations from your bra straps on your shoulders. Heavier breasts can also trigger paresthesias, an irritation of the nerves beneath your collarbone.

2) Breast Growth After Childbearing

Some women go from a manageable breast size to a more uncomfortable size after having children. Your body may be having trouble adjusting to your larger breast size. An increase in glandular tissue, triggered by milk production, can cause a permanent increase in breast size. The problem is common, and mommy makeovers often include breast reduction as one of the procedures available.

3) Clothes Do Not Fit

Manufactures typically create clothing meant to fit an averagely endowed set of body types. With larger breasts, it can be difficult to find clothing that will properly fit.  Some types of clothing may be considered immodest or revealing when you don’t intend them to be. It is also common for women with larger breasts to wear undergarments that are too small simply because it is what’s available.  Clothing and undergarments tailored to women with larger chests are often not typically held in stores or easy to buy.

 4) Feeling Self-conscious

Women with larger breasts can do very little to hide their chest.  It can make you feel very self-conscious. It can be tiring receiving unwanted attention and scrutiny over something you have naturally. Many women even experience not being taken seriously in business settings. These issues are often less about the narrow minds that perpetrate them, and more about how their actions may cause you to withdraw yourself. If you find yourself uncomfortable in certain settings because of how you are perceived, or how you perceive yourself, breast reduction may help you feel more confident.

Breast reduction surgery is a personal choice.  If you are looking for competent plastic surgery in New York, with a team you can trust, you’ve come to the right place.
