Are your breasts weighing you down? Full voluptuous breasts are a goal for many women we see at Form and Face, but for others, less is definitely more. Patients complain about physical discomfort such as back, neck and shoulder pain, and skin irritation beneath the breast crease. Others say the weight of excess breast tissue restricts their ability to lead an active life. Still others feel very self-conscious about their large, pendulous breasts.

On the emotional side, women with voluptuous curves may find themselves overly sexualised in ways that are detrimental to their work or personal lives. In this article, we look at a range of problems associated with overly large breasts, as well as a surgical procedure that can solve them.

Wardrobe Malfunctions

Beyond wanting relief from the physical discomfort associated with their breasts, women consistently tell Dr Norris that they want breast reduction surgery to make clothes shopping a more fruitful experience. Women with large breasts complain that they have to

Say good-bye to button-down shirts – the buttons gape open, anda you basically look half naked.

Say hello to granny bras – stylish bras simply do not exist in larger cup sizes. You need a supportive garment with wide straps.

Give up blazers – like button-down shirts, they gape open at the bottom, making your torso looks like a big bell.

Cross-body bags are out – the straps snuggle up under your breast and into your armpit.

Questionable Questions

Women whose breasts have been unnaturally large since childhood tend to be victimised by cruel and ignorant questions. Among them:

What bra size do you wear?
Is it hard for you to work out with a chest that size?
Does your back hurt all the time
Have you ever thought about getting a breast reduction?

While this last question may be posed with all good intentions, it is intrusive and truly crosses the lines of good taste. After all, would you ask a small-breasted woman if she’s thought about implants? Probably not.
