I am 5’2 115 pounds and I’m a full D to DD cup. I have had a child, so my breasts are not as dense as they once were. I have loose skin now, but I am very active and would like smaller breasts to accommodate for my lifestyle, as I have to double up on sports bras to hold them if I run. If I gain any weight, my breasts get big, fast. 125-130lbs I’m easily a DDD. Can I expect less pain with exercise with a reduction, and would a reduction also help lift my breasts?

Answer: Breast reduction Dear Addy1138, It is hard to tell but breast reduction will most likely decrease pain. Many women have overdevelopment of breast tissue and require reductions. Some of the questions you need to ask yourself are if you are willing to have scars from the surgery, take the risk of losing nipple sensation and other complications in addition to possible problems breast feeding if you plan to have children in the future. I would meet with a plastic surgeon to go over all of these risks and benefits to see if you would be a good candidate for surgery.

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery A breast reduction will do just that. It will help with back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooving, rashes under the breast, pain in the arms and allow patients to be more active.A breast reduction will also lift the breast up higher on the chest. This is pretty standard whenever a breast reduction is done, a lift is included in the procedure.Make certain you see a board certified plastic surgeon.Hope that helps.
