How much will my posture improve after my breast reduction? (Photo)

August 3, 2014
Asked By:milynicoa in Los Angeles, CA

More specifically, I have a hump of fatty tissue at the base of my neck from years of hunching over to hide my chest. An acupuncturist once told me that it was cushioning my spine's poor posture. So my question is - Will this little hump decrease or go away as I work on improving my posture post-surgery?
