Very heavy breasts can be a real annoyance. Back neck and shoulder pain can result from massive tissue on the chest wall. There are other causes for neck pain. Breasts tend to float somewhat in water, I advise my patients to see what it might be like to get some of that weight off their chests by getting into a pool. Most tell me that they get a feeling what contribution the heavy breast have to their discomfort.
Breast reduction is a name for a series of operations that removes part of the woman's breasts.
Skin, fat, and gland are usually removed. The discussion about breast reduction is too extensive for an E-mail response and is better explained during a consultation. There are additional costs for the hospital and anesthesia. Some insurance policies have coverage for breast reduction surgery, unfortunately others do not. I hope this information proves of some use.
