What Are Some of the Most Common Benefits of Breast Reduction?

Women will notice several very important benefits from their breast reduction surgery.

Physical Symptoms

Overly large breasts place a lot of weight on the chest. This imbalance not only impacts your posture and your breathing, but it can also cause changes to your spine and your muscles. Removing the burden on your muscles and skeletal structure will offer tremendous improvements to your upper body strength, posture, and your spinal health while also erasing chronic headaches, lower back, neck, and shoulder pain.

Exercise and Sleep

Women who don’t suffer from overly large breasts have no idea how difficult it is to run, exercise, and even sleep. Finding a comfortable position in bed is almost impossible. Exercising with extra weight on your chest can be exhausting–especially if your breasts make it difficult to breathe.

Improved Self-Esteem

This is one of the crucial reasons that Dr. Myers is so passionate about his practice. Women with large breasts experience social anxiety and low self-esteem because of their oversized breasts. With breast reduction, Women often feel better about themselves and experience a huge boost in confidence.
