How Breast Size Affects Your Spine and Posture

Oversized breasts can shift your center of gravity forward, placing extra stress on your spine and supporting muscles. This strain often leads to chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain, and may even cause tension headaches. Many people also experience bra strap grooving, skin irritation, and difficulty maintaining an upright posture. Over time, this physical burden can restrict mobility and reduce your overall quality of life.

What Breast Reduction Surgery Involves

Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a more proportionate size. During the procedure, your breasts are reshaped to achieve a balanced, lifted contour. The goal is not only aesthetic enhancement but also physical relief. Most patients report significant improvement in their symptoms shortly after recovery begins.

The procedure typically includes repositioning the nipple for a natural appearance and may also involve liposuction, depending on your body’s needs. Dr. Ferguson will evaluate your health and goals during a consultation to ensure the most beneficial outcome.

Benefits Beyond Pain Relief

Reducing breast size can have a profound impact on your daily comfort and activity level. After surgery, you may find it easier to participate in physical exercise, wear a wider variety of clothing, and maintain better posture. Emotional and psychological benefits are also common, including increased self-esteem and reduced self-consciousness in social settings.
