Harmony is very important in life and nature. Breast size is not an exception to this rule. Size is mainly determined by genetics. The appropriate size is dependent on your height, weight and shoulder width. The body falls into disharmony when the breasts are too large and put extra strain on the surrounding body that supports them. The main complaint is back and neck pain. Women can also have bra strapping and shoulder pain. These factors can greatly reduce your quality of life by making exercise and daily activity more difficult, and even affect your ability to rest at night.

It’s important to realize that there are two factors that determine symptoms: the size of the breast and how the breast tissue is arraigned. With age, the breasts drop, and this changes how the breast tissue is supported. The same amount of breast tissue that was centered on the chest without causing symptoms can cause neck and back pain when it hangs down. A breast reduction operation addresses both of these issues.

First, the excess breast tissue is removed to make your breasts an appropriate size for your body. Second, and I think more important, the remaining breast tissue is rearranged and placed on the center of the chest so your body can support it much more easily. The added benefit of a reduction mammoplasty is that you attain more youthful and pleasing breast shape.
