The Miracles of Breast Reduction
In our society, large breasts are quite fashionable and emotionally uplifting to the patient. However, breasts can be too large causing multiple problems. The problems include shoulder strap grooving, back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and occasionally shortness of breath. Some patients complain of poor posture and an inability to exercise because of the pain in their chest areas.
With breast reduction surgery, most of the symptoms disappear or are markedly diminished. This surgery is covered by most insurance companies when there is evidence of these problems. This surgery is performed as an outpatient and the patient is back to work within two weeks.
The patient must must accept scars on her breasts but these scars fade nicely over one year. I am amazed how much this surgery changes a woman life. These patients are now able to exercise, fit in normal size bras, and live their daily life without pain. It is for this reason, that I have found this surgery to be one of my most gratifying procedures.
