Excessively large breasts can cause significant functional and psychological distress in women. In addition to restricting mobility, they can lead to health problems such as posture disorders, back and neck pain, sores under the breasts, shoulder indentation, rashes due to sweating under the breasts, and long-term spinal deformities. Additionally, large breasts tend to sag due to gravity. For these reasons, breast reduction surgeries are as functional as they are aesthetic. Performing this surgery at an early age, after the completion of puberty, can be beneficial both physically and psychologically.
In modern times, surgical techniques have been developed that leave much less visible scarring on the skin and preserve the breastfeeding function of the breast. In this surgery, the breasts are reduced to a size that is proportionate to the individual’s body and the nipples are repositioned to where they should naturally be, taking into account the effects of gravity. Having breast tissue that is disproportionately large in relation to body size can restrict a person in many ways. Large and sagging breasts can make a person appear heavier and older than they actually are, and can also hinder achieving a fit appearance. Sagging breasts often accompany large breast size. Correcting breast sagging and reducing breast size are the primary goals of this surgery.
