Do you suffer from chronic back pain due to excessively large breasts? If so, you may be one of thousands of women who opt for breast reduction rather than suffer this constant pain.
Breast reduction surgery is a safe procedure designed to eliminate unnecessary pain and return women to their active lifestyles. Many women find that after breast reduction, their back pains go away and they are able exercise again without the added soreness in their lower backs. As a result, their overall health and appearance improve.
Dr. Miguel Delgado, a breast reduction surgeon in the San Francisco / Marin/Oakland/Northern California area, comments, "A lot of people think breast reduction is a purely cosmetic procedure. However, this is not the case. Many times insurance will cover this procedure. An increasing number of women are choosing breast reduction in order to alleviate chronic back pain, as well as pain in the neck and shoulders. As a result, they not only reduce or entirely eliminate the pain, but they are also able to participate in a greater number of activities."
Breast reduction is performed through small incisions running from the around the areolas down to the breast crease. There will be bruising and scars will be visible although they will fade with time.
Patients return to work in just over a week and are able to engage in regular activities after six weeks.
Breast reduction has improved the lives of thousands of women, by providing much needed relief of pain caused by breasts that are too large in proportion to their bodies.
