Why do women opt for Br-east Reduction surgery?
- Women with macromastia are physically and psychologically distressed by the excessive growth of their br-easts. They experience distaste and a sense of shame towards their br-east.
- Apart from the fact that the large-sized br-easts limit their choice of clothing, they also alter the choice of their sporting activities. These women are usually underconfident and shy away from social presentation. They are subject to uncomfortable glances, mockery, and face rude comments.
- Large br-easts are also physically disabling and most women seek treatment because of physical symptoms like chronic neck and back pain, shoulder pain, br-east pain, and the change in posture. They develop deep grooves on their shoulders due to bra straps. They sweat a lot under the creases of the br-east, feel smelly, and are prone to skin infections.
- Some women may naturally have gross asymmetry of their br-easts so they choose to have the larger br-east reduced to match the other one.
If a few or most of the concerns mentioned above have been bothering a woman, it’s time to consider reduction mammaplasty.
