Should You Get A Breast Reduction?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and there is no time like the present to schedule a mammogram.  5-10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary and early detection is often the best line in defense: 93% of cases caught early can be beat within 5 years, post treatment.  However, on top of a yearly mammogram, your breasts can cause a number of other health concerns that may be addressed through a breast reduction.

If you have been considering a breast reduction in Houston, TX, you should be pleased to know breast reduction surgeries have come a long way and can offer a more aesthetically pleasing and lifted  look.  Even more important are the health benefits of getting a breast reduction: if you are experiencing significant back or neck pain, your breasts could be to blame.

By reducing extraneous breast volume, the back and neck no longer have to support extra weight, relaxing the back muscles, easing the strain on the neck muscles and thoracic vertebra.  Not only are patients no longer experiencing pain due to the weight of excessively large breasts,  many have reported that they have found the energy to resume exercise and can begin to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Breast reduction patients are one of the happiest subsets of our patients – they no longer feel pain in their back and neck, their clothes fit better and they can enjoy working out without worrying about the extra weight that they have no control over.  If this procedure sounds like something you may be interested in, please contact us for more information or to schedule a consultation!
