Dr. Philip Richardson February 18, 2014

While some may perceive larger breasts as desirable, many individuals with a larger bust experience a range of unwelcome physical, emotional, and psychological effects. At Dr. Philip Richardson’s practice, individuals can explore the option of breast size reduction, a procedure designed to alleviate discomfort while maintaining a natural appearance.

Recognizing the Effects of Large Breasts

For those who feel their breast size is excessive for their body, or who are dealing with any of the following issues, a breast size reduction might be a beneficial option. These issues can include:

Physical Effects

Excessive breast size can lead to various physical discomforts, such as:

  • Persistent pain in the neck, back, shoulders, and chest
  • Indentations from bra straps
  • Circulation issues in arms and hands, sometimes causing tingling
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Migraines
  • Structural changes in the skeleton
  • Compromised posture
  • Skin irritations beneath the breast area
  • Exercise limitations, potentially leading to weight management challenges

Psychological and Emotional Effects

The psychological and emotional toll of large breasts can manifest in several ways:

  • Negative self-perception
  • Embarrassment and unwanted attention
  • Social and physical activity avoidance
  • Reduced self-esteem
  • Workplace challenges linked to psychological discomfort
  • Skepticism towards personal relationships

Emotional Distress

Emotional distress may also arise, characterized by:

  • Feelings of depression
  • Negative self-feeling
  • Frustration over clothing fit issues
  • Anxiety in social settings

The Role of Breast Size Reduction

For those experiencing these symptoms, breast size reduction offers a way to regain comfort and confidence.
