Since then, a good amount of sagging has taken place, and the pain has increased dramatically. I have trouble sleeping, and though the doctor recommended that I excersize frequently, that is painful as well. I would like still like to avoid breast reduction if possible, and was wondering what my options might be. Any suggestions you can make would be very helpful. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Large breasts can be very uncomfortable for a person's frame to support.
The weight tends to drag on the neck and shoulders when upright. When on ones back, they can drag on the skin of the chest and shoulder. There are other sources for pain in these regions, breast reduction is not always the solution. I advise my patients to check out what water buoyancy does to their discomfort. Breasts tend to float.
