Is Breast Reduction Surgery Right for Me?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Choices in Southeast Texas

While the majority of Texas women who want to enhance their breasts often think about increasing in size, many could benefit from a breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty. Some women suffer from a condition called breast hypertrophy that can develop during puberty, with weight gain, or during pregnancy. Medically, there are a number of reasons why a woman would want to reduce the size of her breasts. Oversized or disproportionate breasts can often lead to serious health issues, including:

• Extreme back and neck pain
• Severe headaches
• Skeletal deformities
• Decreased mobility
• Difficulty breathing
• Sleep disruptions
• Hygiene problems
• Skin irritation and chafing

No woman should have to let these medical issues take over her life and keep her from doing the activities and living the life she desires.

Social, Emotional, and Personal Concerns

Oversized or disproportionate breasts can also lead to non-medical, but no less debilitating social problems. Finding comfortable or well-fitting clothing can be an almost impossible challenge, while the pain from bra straps might be too much to handle. Plus, the social stigmatization can be just as painful, with breast reduction surgery providing a much-needed boost to self-esteem, confidence, and appearance. The improvement in size and shape, often accompanied by a breast lift in conjunction with the breast reduction, can significantly improve almost every aspect of a woman’s life, giving her back the life she used to lead.

The Procedure for You

If the size of your breasts is causing any or all of the physical and emotional pain listed above, you might be a candidate for breast reduction surgery. Breast reductions are best performed on women with fully matured breasts, since if the breasts have not completed growing, a follow-up procedure may be necessary.

Gynecomastia

One of the most popular male cosmetic surgeries is gynecomastia reduction. Gynecomastia is a condition in which a man’s breasts overdevelop, leading to larger, over-sized breasts that resemble female breasts.

Breast reduction surgery is the only known way of relieving gynecomastia, which affects between 40-60% of men. If you suffer from gynecomastia and its related health and esteem issues, you may be a candidate for breast reduction surgery.

If you or a loved one would like to know more about being a possible candidate for breast reduction surgery, please contact the breast reduction experts at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Southeast Texas to schedule a consultation.
