Overly large breasts can cause much more unhappiness than small ones. The problems with excess breast tissue include back pain, shoulder pain, difficulty finding clothes that fit, and embarrassment. Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, has an incredibly high patient satisfaction rate of up to 95%, since it can resolve all of these issues in a low-risk procedure.
At DiGeronimo MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Miami, Florida, Dr. Ernest M. DiGeronimo offers breast reduction surgery to help you regain your confidence and reduce your discomfort.
Having macromastia, or overly large breasts, can cause a whole array of issues for both men and women. Being able to say goodbye to troubles that have been present since puberty can be a huge relief for patients who choose breast reduction. Here are a few of the biggest benefits of breast reduction surgery:
Heavy breasts can cause a lot of physical strain, stressing your muscles and pulling on your spine. Your breasts pull down and forward on your neck, chest, shoulders, and back, even damaging nerves in your shoulders due to bra strap compression. Breast reduction surgery removes a lot of the dead weight, leaving you with the ability to straighten up and take a deep breath.
A big bosom can make being active and athletic a real chore. If your breasts keep you from enjoying swimming, running, cycling, or playing tennis or golf, a breast reduction could give you smaller breasts that are positioned better for freedom of movement.
Both girls and boys can be picked on, teased, and bullied for the amount of breast tissue they have. This can lead to self-consciousness, bad posture (rounded shoulders and a hunched back), and unwillingness to be social. Breast reduction can prevent others from singling you out or only seeing your breasts when you meet them.
Finding clothes that will fit over a disproportionately large bust can be almost impossible. If you can’t afford custom-made clothing, you may find yourself forced into ill-fitting, baggy clothing off the rack. Many patients who undergo breast reduction surgery report that they can shop almost anywhere for clothes, and feel much happier and more attractive in clothing that fits well over their newly designed chest.
Breast reduction surgery has a high patient satisfaction rate, and long-lasting positive results with 80% of women ranking the appearance of their breasts as “good” or “very good” even a whole year after surgery. However, to get great results, you need a great plastic surgeon.
Dr. DiGeronimo has been performing cosmetic surgery on both men and women for years, and specializing in breast procedures. In addition to breast enhancements and breast lifts, he routinely performs breast reductions to get rid of excess weight and tissue and restore a youthful, perky look.
