Do overly heavy breasts weigh you down throughout the day? If you’re struggling with heavy breasts, it’s important to know that you have options. No one should have to feel limited in their mobility or feel like they can’t participate in daily activities due to their large breast size getting in the way. Feeling physically and emotionally uncomfortable in your body can take a serious toll on your overall well-being, so it’s important to address the root cause of these issues.
Breast reduction surgery provides significant relief to women struggling with overly heavy breasts. This procedure allows women to have a manageable breast size that doesn’t interfere with their daily lives. Aesthetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa offers breast reduction to help women restore confidence and regain control over their day-to-day activities.

Breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure that reduces the size of the breasts to a smaller, more manageable size selected by the patient. During the procedure, excess breast skin and tissue are removed, the breasts are reshaped, and the areolas are repositioned. After breast reduction, patients can enjoy their lighter, more proportionate-sized breasts.
This surgical procedure can be a great option for women who naturally have larger breasts and feel inconvenienced or uncomfortable with their breast size. Many patients who choose this procedure are women who have experienced physical pain, emotional discomfort, limited physical activities, and limited wardrobe options due to their larger breast size.
Breast reduction comes with numerous benefits that are both physical and emotional. Prospective patients may look forward to some of the following benefits:
Many women with naturally larger breasts face chronic pain on a daily basis. For many, this pain occurs in the neck, back, and shoulders. This is due to the chest having to carry a significant amount of weight, given the size of the large breasts.
It can be difficult for even highly supportive bras to properly hold the weight of the breasts, which can result in the bra straps digging painful grooves into the shoulders. Many women also find that their bodies naturally slouch forward due to carrying their breast weight. Additionally, lying on your stomach or sides can cause additional pain and put your back in uncomfortable positions.
With breast reduction, the breasts are reduced to a more manageable size that is proportionate to the patient’s body. With this smaller breast size, many patients experience a significant amount of pain relief.
It can be difficult to feel confident in your body when large breasts are causing you physical and emotional discomfort. Women with larger breasts often feel uncomfortable wearing certain tops, dresses, and other articles of clothing because they feel that their chests don’t properly fit in the clothes or that their breasts are overly emphasized. It can be challenging to pick out clothes, especially when you feel that certain clothes show too much cleavage or fit too snugly around the chest. In many cases, having an overly large chest can make your entire silhouette appear larger than it really is, which can also cause confidence issues.
After breast reduction, many women feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance. Navigating everyday life without chronic pain due to a larger breast size and increasing clothing options and physical mobility can do wonders for one’s self-esteem.
With larger breasts, many women find exercising and participating in other physical activities to be difficult and, in some cases, impossible due to pain. Activities like running, dancing, jumping, and doing push-ups can be challenging with a large breast size. Many women may feel discouraged from exercising or participating in activities they enjoy due to the inconveniences caused by their breast size.
Breast reduction allows women to regain control over their bodies and participate in the activities of their choosing. Many women feel a huge sense of relief and body autonomy restored after they have their procedure.
Finding bras, shirts, dresses, swimsuits, and other clothing that properly fit over large breasts can be extremely challenging. It is difficult to feel good in the way you look when nothing fits properly or flatters your figure.
Women who receive breast reduction surgery often enjoy having a wider range of clothing options. Many report that it is easier to find bras and other articles of clothing that properly fit their chests without overemphasizing their breasts.

There are a few main options for how your breast reduction will be performed:
Before you can begin the breast reduction surgery process, you must first meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a thorough consultation. This consultation is essential for determining whether you are a good candidate for the procedure and designing a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your breast reduction goals.
At Aesthetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa, you’ll meet with one of our board-certified surgeons for your consultation. During the appointment, your surgeon will review your medical history, listen to your goals, evaluate your breasts, and discuss your breast reduction options. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and look at more before and after photos to give you a better idea of what to expect for your results.
Breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Your surgeon will create marks around the breasts in the agreed-upon locations.
Incisions may correspond with one of the following techniques:
After the incisions are made, your surgeon will remove breast tissue, reshape the breasts, and trim excess skin. Once all the adjustments have been made, the incisions will be closed.
After breast reduction surgery, you’ll need to avoid strenuous physical activity and any activities that require raising your arms over your head. Your surgeon will let you know when it is safe to resume these activities, and it is essential to follow their instructions carefully to prevent straining or reopening your incisions. You’ll need to sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated to help reduce swelling and avoid additional pressure on your healing breasts. Wearing a compression bra throughout the recovery period is essential to reduce swelling and support your breasts as they adjust to their new size and shape.
Your surgeon will provide you with more detailed information regarding your recovery. It is best to closely follow your surgeon’s instructions to ensure a safe and smooth healing process.
Breast reduction allows patients to enjoy having breasts at a manageable size that suits their body type and lifestyle. Many patients enjoy not feeling restricted by their chest size and finding a wide variety of clothes that can fit over their newly reduced breasts.
When preparing for breast reduction costs, it’s important to understand that prices will vary based on several different factors. Some key cost factors include the extent of reduction desired and the expertise of your surgeon. Additionally, it’s important to consider additional costs such as surgical fees, anesthesia costs, compression garments, prescription pain medications, etc. During your consultation, you’ll receive a price quote for your procedure to help you prepare for the cost. Aesthetic Surgery Centre & Medical Spa also offers financing options to help you afford your procedure on a timeline that works for you.
