Tired of Back Pain? Breast Reduction Could Be the Solution

Anyone woman with large breasts knows the chronic discomfort they can cause. Back, neck, and shoulder pain are common complaints that make everyday life more difficult. 

Breast reduction surgery is a viable option that can help you live more comfortably and confidently.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Washington, D.C., Dr. Troy Pittman is recognized for his expertise in breast surgery. He has helped countless women find relief from pain and improve their lives through breast reduction surgery. Dr. Pittman focuses on alleviating discomfort and giving you aesthetically pleasing results that match your proportions.

Why Do Large Breasts Cause Back Pain?

The weight of large breasts places extra strain on your upper back, neck, and shoulders. Over time, this constant pressure can lead to:

• Muscle fatigue and sharp or aching pain in the back, neck, and shoulder muscles
• Poor posture, which can contribute to long-term issues like spinal curvature (kyphosis)
• Chronic headaches from constant neck strain
• Nerve compression, leading to numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms or hands
• Skin irritation and indentations from bra straps digging into the shoulders
• Limited mobility and restricted range of motion

For many women, the physical discomfort is compounded by frustration during everyday activities, such as exercising or finding clothes that fit well. This constant stress leads many women to look into breast reduction surgery to get permanent relief.

How Breast Reduction Surgery Helps

In breast reduction surgery, Dr. Pittman removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to give you smaller, lighter breasts. You can notice immediate relief in your back once you’re no longer carrying the extra weight. 

In addition to general pain relief, you’ll love the freedom of doing everyday activities like: 

• Exercising comfortably without added strain
• Sleeping better without discomfort
• Sitting or standing for long periods without pain
• Bending down or lifting objects with ease
• Finding bras and clothing that fit more comfortably
• Engaging in sports or physical activities with greater mobility
• Enjoying improved posture and reduced shoulder tension
• Breathing easier, especially during physical exertion

All of these things that once seemed difficult will become so much easier after breast reduction.
