Are Your Breasts Too Big? Let’s Talk About Your Breast Reduction Options

If you often feel that your breasts are too big, you’d probably benefit from a reduction. Many women have concerns about regretting the decision, but very few actually do. You have many options when it comes to breast reduction, and you can find a breast size that makes you happy without getting in the way of your life. 

At DiGeronimo MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Doral, Florida, Dr. Ernest M. DiGeronimo offers breast reduction for patients struggling with back pain, unwanted attention, and other unpleasant side effects of overly large breasts. 

Breast reduction options

There are many reasons you might be unhappy with large breasts. They get in the way while sleeping, exercising, and even looking down at your own body. They make finding clothes difficult, and buying a bra is an investment of time and money. They put stress on your shoulders and spine, causing pain and postural problems that will only worsen with age. 

A breast reduction can change how you live your life, improving your health and self-image. 

You can decide relatively how large you want your breasts to be, and your surgeon will help you decide where the scars will be placed. There are three options when it comes to incisions: 

• Periareolar, or around the outer nipple 
• Keyhole, or around the areola and down to the crease
• Anchor, or around the areola, down to the crease, and across the inframammary fold

Dr. DiGeronimo will evaluate your breasts to determine which placement is most appropriate. 

When to consider a breast reduction

If you struggle to find clothes that fit your figure due to your breasts, try to minimize them behind your clothes, and suffer from shoulder and back pain due to the weight, your breasts are likely too big for your body. 

Getting a reduction will not only spare you pain and hassle, but give you perkier and more youthful breasts proportional to your body. This can significantly improve your life, and give you better health and self-esteem both now and for years to come.,

However, it’s important to understand the recovery and aftermath of this surgery before making commitments. A breast reduction might require a longer recovery period than a simple lift or augmentation, and the scarring may be more visible. Dr. DiGeronimo works hard to hide all scars to minimize visible marks.

There is also a high likelihood that you will be unable to breastfeed following a breast reduction  procedure. If you plan on having children and breastfeeding them, you should postpone the procedure until you’re finished nursing for good.
