Many women have overly large breasts that pose considerable physical and/or psychological distress. It also restricts their choice of clothes and affects their social life. Liposuction breast reduction could be the solution to addressing this concern and improving self-confidence. The procedure can resolve issues associated with large breasts such as back and neck pain, skin maceration, skin changes, infections, inability to exercise and/or bra straps digging in. However, if you are considering the procedure, there are some important things that you should know.
- This procedure is not recommended in early teen years as the breasts are still growing. You should wait till your breasts are fully developed before having the procedure. The ideal time may be after age 21.
- You may be asked to lose excess body weight before the surgery because this can help in providing the best results.

Self magazine reports that a Finnish study found that up to a third of women who seek breast reduction surgery suffer from anxiety, depression, or both. However, the researchers also found that women who undergo the procedure report significantly less depression and higher self-esteem. Another study in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported that 80 percent of women who had the procedure rated their results as “very good” or “good” a year post-procedure.
Men have breast reduction surgery too to address gynecomastia, a condition that can cause male breast enlargement. Usually, gynecomastia is caused by certain medications, weight gain, or hormonal imbalances. The impact is largely psychological as those who have the condition feel uncomfortable wearing tight clothing or exposing their bare chests.
