Only someone who’s been possessed by a pair of oversized breasts will ever understand just how much of a tiresome burden they can be, both physically and emotionally.
By reducing oversized breasts to a more comfortable size and shape, we can take a weight off your mind as well as your shoulders, back and lower neck. This common procedure can also reduce skin irritation in the folds of your breasts, whilst allowing a greater range of physical activity. On top of that, it can improve your posture, the overall appearance of your breasts and, often, your self-esteem. Wouldn’t it be nice to start shopping for lovely, feminine bras instead of architectural engineering? Unless, of course, you’re a man and the jokes about needing a bra for your ‘man boobs’ are wearing a bit thin. In this case, you might consider gynaecomastia: the male breast reduction — find out more.
