Large breasts can cause back, neck and shoulder pain as well as skin irritation. Women with large breasts can be self-conscious and experience discomfort when exercising and may have difficulty finding clothing that fits properly. Breast size can increase due to weight gain, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or menopause.
Breast reduction surgery accomplishes several goals. It decreases the size of your breasts, lifts and reshapes them, decreases the size of the areola, and moves the nipples to a higher position. These changes can relieve your physical discomfort, while also improving the appearance of your breasts. Most women with large breasts feel more comfortable and confident following a breast reduction.
**If you are interested in having a breast reduction, please have your family physician fax a referral to Dr. Seal at (709) 754-8262. A consultation appointment will then be made for you to see Dr. Seal in hospital as this is an MCP-covered service. Dr. Seal does not perform breast reductions in the private clinic.
