Are you looking for shoulder pain relief so you can get back to your daily activities?
If so, it's time to consider the benefits of having breast reduction surgery at Pall Mall.
This comprehensive guide explores how breast reduction surgery can be a weight lift of your chest - metaphorically and physically!
How Breast Reduction Surgery Can Provide You with Shoulder Pain Relief
Excessively large breasts can lead to a host of physical discomforts, such as:
- Chronic shoulder pain
- Ill-fitting bra straps painfully digging into shoulders
- Problematic exercise routines
- Upper back discomfort
- Posture issues
The shoulder discomfort is often caused by the lack of inadequate bra support, due to larger breasted women often finding it difficult to buy a well-fitting bra.
80% of women wear a poorly fitting bra, which can aggravate their discomforts and even lead to significant health problems like poor posture.
In a study that assessed the bra fit of women wanting breast reduction surgery, all were wearing an ill-fitting bra!
When the weight of larger breasts isn't properly supported, it places additional strain on the muscles, increasing shoulder discomfort and pain.
Plus, ill-fitting bras with narrow straps concentrate the weight in a smaller area. This can cause permanent changes to the body, such as deep grooves in the shoulders - adding to the discomfort. Breast reduction surgery allows you to finally experience shoulder pain relief and live life to the fullest.
The Key Benefits of Undergoing Breast Reduction Surgery for Shoulder Discomfort
Beyond the aesthetic benefits of cosmetic surgery, breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, plays an important role in alleviating many women’s shoulder pain and discomfort.
Some key benefits our patients found after having this surgery are:
Pain Relief
Breast Reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the breasts to achieve a more proportional size. This effectively relieves the strain on your shoulder muscles by reducing the weight and volume of your breasts.
This results in reduced pain and discomfort in your day to day life, allowing you to get back to the things you love to do.
Improved Posture
Large breasts can contribute to poor posture, due to their heaviness and size making it harder for women to sit up straight. This can cause further strain on your shoulders and back.
Many of our patients undertake breast reduction surgery for preventative health reasons, such as improved posture.
The procedure helps restore a more natural posture, with less weight being carried around the chest area, reducing the risk of chronic pain.
Enhanced Mobility
People with fuller busts find it difficult to purchase activewear that correctly supports their bust during exercise.
Breast reduction surgery will allow you to experience increased mobility and flexibility thanks to lighter and more proportionate breasts.
You'll be able to engage in exercise activities you once enjoyed without pain or limitations.
Boosted Self-Confidence
Studies have shown that breast reduction surgery not only improves physical comfort but also enhances self-esteem and body confidence.
Many women feel after this surgery that they can finally wear the clothes they want, such as low cut tops and dresses without feeling self conscious or being sexualised by others.
Patients feel more comfortable in their own skin and enjoy a renewed sense of self.
