Signs You Need a Breast Reduction

Poor Posture
Although different factors can contribute to poor posture, poor posture is one of the tell-tale signs that you may need a breast reduction. When your breasts are larger than average, they can, quite literally, weigh you down. As your body tries to make up for the disparity between size and balance, your posture can be negatively affected.
Bra Strap Grooving
In combination with poor posture, another sign that you would benefit from a breast reduction is if you have consistent, painful bra strap grooving. Pain from bra strap grooving can be a result of large breasts pulling down on the cup of the bra and causing unwanted pressure on your shoulders. This pressure, matched with poor posture, can significantly increase the pain and discomfort you feel as a result of large breasts. When you have large breasts, it’s often difficult to find a bra that fits. Within a few months after getting plastic surgery for a breast reduction, you will be able to purchase smaller bras. Without the added weight of the heavy breast shoulder and bra strap pain often improve.Chest, Back & Neck Pain
Unbeknownst to some, oversized breasts can cause nerve pain that can leave your hands and fingers tingling or, in some cases, numb. This loss of feeling can occur as a result of oversized breasts pulling on your torso and doing damage to your neck where nerves emerge. In addition to numbness and tingling, back and neck pain is extremely common for those who have overly large breasts. The weight of the breasts can do damage to your upper back and your neck, as your body has to work extra hard to compensate for the weight.
