I plan on having a breast reduction (for many reasons) and am wondering how likely it is that this procedure will also help with migraines. Thanks!

Answer: Large breast and headaches Thanks for your question. Women with large breasts can suffer from chronic back, shoulder and neck pain, as well as headaches. Many of them experience immediate relief of their pain after breast reduction. Migraine headaches are a different type of headache and may not be directly correlated with having large breasts. Hope this helps...best of luck!

Answer: Is there any correlation between migraine headaches and being large breasted? I've never heard or read of any association between migraine headaches and having large breasts. Most large breasted women who would like to undergo breast reduction surgery note a remarkable improvement in neck shoulder and back pain. Improvement in musculoskeletal symptoms can be dramatic. I would not undergo surgery simply to hope for improvement in migraine headaches.Best wishes.Jon A Perlman M.D. FACSDiplomate, American Board of Plastic SurgeryAssociate Clinical Prof. of Plastic Surgery UCLA/Geffen Medical SchoolBeverly Hills, California

Answer: Is there a correlation between having very large breasts and chronic migraines? True migraine headaches are due to a vascular condition and have absolutely no relationship to heavy breasts. But it is quite common for women with large breasts to have headaches that are muscular in origin and get better after breast reduction.
