Will Breast Reduction Improve my Posture?

July 20, 2011
Asked By:improve78 in San Diego, CA

I'm 33 years old at 5"0 and now weighing around 130 lb. I've always been uncomfortable with my breast size which always fluctuated between 34C - 36B causing horrible posture and low self esteem. I've gained 15 lbs in the last two years and my current breast size is 36C. I am considering breast reduction surgery because of my posture which I can see has curved around my upper back and sometimes I systematically round my shoulders. I have frequent back, neck and shoulder pain.
