Large breasts can cause a number of different health problems. To address these problems, a woman can choose to have a medical procedure to reduce the size of her breasts. Breast reduction procedures can both reduce the size and lower the weight of breasts. The procedure can also change the breast shape. The reduction in size, lower weight and change in shape can all reduce the severity of a variety of medical problems.
1. Back Pain
Large breasts are very heavy. The weight of large breasts tends to pull forward on a woman’s back. To compensate for the weight, women must constantly use their back muscles to maintain a proper posture. The muscle stress can result in constant back pain. Over time, large breasts can even cause damage to the spine. A breast reduction procedure will lower the weight of the breasts and make them smaller. The reduced weight will reduce the strain on the woman’s back.
2. Self-Consciousness
Many women who have large breasts are self-conscious about them. The large breasts attract unwanted attention and make it difficult to do many tasks that require physical movement such as bending over, running and jumping. By having breasts reduced to a normal size, a woman can achieve a body that is in proportion which will make her less self-conscious about her appearance.
3. Nerve and Skin Damage
Large breasts can cause nerve damage that results in a constant sensation of pain. This is cause by the weight and size of the breasts compressing the nerves between the breasts and the rest of the body. Large breasts can also be harmful to the skin. Large breasts sag and lay against the skin. The area where breasts lay against the abdomen is a frequent location for rashes and other skin problems due to friction and moisture. The constant rash can also easily become infected and cause further problems.
Breast reduction surgery is not an ideal solution for every woman. For example, smokers and those who are very obese are not good candidates for breast reduction surgery in Phoenix AZ. For more information on breast reduction and other related services, contact the helpful staff at Ciao Bella.
