Will losing breast size reduce your broad shoulders?

Question

Michael S. Beckenstein, MD · Answer

Breast reduction will alleviate pain and strain on your shoulders. It will not reduce the dimensions or broadness of them

Ellen A. Janetzke, MD · Answer

A breast reduction will only change the size of your breasts and will relieve some of the strain on your shoulders. The broadness of your shoulders is determined by your bone structure.

Jennifer Greer, MD · Answer

Breast reduction removes breast tissue only. Broad shoulders are caused by the width of the underlying skeleton. Breast reduction will have no affect on this.

Josef Hadeed, MD, FACS · Answer

Having a breast reduction can help to decrease the strain on your shoulders if your breast size is large, but it likely will not reduce the size of your shoulders.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Broad shoulders are broad because of you underlying anatomy. Reducing your breast size will not likely change that for you.
