Some women have too much of a good thing, and their breasts are large enough to cause physical problems like back pain. Disproportionately large breasts can throw a woman off-balance and, thus, affect her posture. Overly large breasts have also been linked to other conditions like chronic pain in the chest wall, neck and shoulders. They can affect a woman’s self-esteem and make it hard for her to find clothes that fit properly. While pain medication and physical therapy can provide some relief, the only permanent solution is breast reduction surgery for back pain.
What Does Breast Reduction Surgery Involve?
Breast reduction surgery for back pain is an outpatient procedure performed in the comfort of our surgical suite. During the procedure, our surgeon can remove some tissue, fat and skin an reshape the remaining tissue to give the breasts a more natural appearance. In many cases, liposuction is used to remove the fat.
What is the Recovery Like?
The patient will be given a special surgical bra to wear for a set amount of time following the procedure. It is important to follow our team’s instructions regarding healing during this time for optimal results. Take it as easy as you possibly can during your recovery. Once you have fully healed, you can enjoy your results for quite a long time. Of course, the recovery will vary from patient to patient.
