Breast reduction is not a primarily aesthetically motivated operation. It is the physical complaints such as back and neck pain, daily incision of the bra straps and skin irritations in the lower breast crease that make women think about breast reduction.
It is not unusual for large breasts to lead to significant physical restrictions in everyday life. Sporting activities in particular are usually impossible for women with large breasts. This can often lead to severe psychological stress and even social withdrawal for the affected patients.
Breasts that are too large can have a family disposition and be pronounced already in young women. Weight gain or pregnancy and breastfeeding can also lead to an increase in the size and weight of breasts.
