Thanks for your question. Based on your description, you would benefit from breast reduction. Breast reduction is a great procedure if you have large breasts that give physical symptoms. During breast reduction, excess breast tissue is removed and breast tissue is re-positioned to give you perkier, better lifted breasts. Please consult with an experience plastic surgeon to learn about breast reduction. Best wishes.
Dear Philomena,It really sounds like you are struggling with painful symptoms of macromastia (large breasts). You sound like an appropriate candidate for breast reduction surgery. Typically, breast reduction is performed for headaches, pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back, kyphosis (forward neck), bra strap grooving, and rashes attributable to the breasts. Anxiety is another important consideration. Generally several months of therapy, NSAIDs, and specialized bras are trialled; if the pain persists, your best option may be reduction surgery. You should seek the counsel of a plastic surgeon or primary care provider- whichever is appropriate in the UK healthcare structure, and proceed from there. I really hope this helps and that you seek the help you deserve.
