<h1>Breast Reduction Tips</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Jessie Penn.aspx'>Jessie Penn</a></strong><br /><p>I was blessed, or perhaps cursed, with large breasts. Throughout my adult life the large pendulum breasts were inconvenient to find properly fitting clothing or beach apparel. Since, my stature is petite-sized, the buxom breasts were completely out of form with my body frame. My shoulders were permanently indented from bra straps and the weight of my breasts. Neck, back and shoulder pain was routinely bothersome. Throughout the months of summer, annoying rashes would itch and burn. Going bra-less was out of the question, because jiggling and heavy breasts were embarrassing, to me. I had breast reduction surgery, and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I ever made!

The constant neck, back and shoulder pain is just a memory, and feelings of embarrassment and self-consciousness are gone! I am very happy with the result of my surgery, and my body has healed without ugly scars. Would I do it again? Unequivocally, yes! Obviously, I'm pleased with my surgery results.

Breast reduction surgery, also known as mammaplasty, is a procedure that removes glandular tissue, fatty tissue, and skin from the breasts. Women choose to under go breast reduction surgery for numerous reasons. Overly large breasts can cause chronic shoulder, neck and back pain, in addition to circulation and breathing difficulties.

But, if you're considering breast reduction surgery, here's a few tips for you to consider: Compression Bras (Post-Surgical Bras): Before surgery, purchase several good post-surgery compression bras.

Once your doctor says it's okay to unwrap the bandages to shower (about 48-72 hrs after surgery), you might be shocked! Under those bandages you will find an array of black, blue, red, purple, green, and yellow colors. Your breasts will, probably, be unrecognizable and appear unnatural or deformed because of the swelling. But, don't panic, this will change throughout the healing process. Tips For That First Shower After Surgery. Do NOT stand facing the shower head as you normally would. Instead, turn your back towards the water flow and only allow it to flow gently over your shoulders. Your breasts tender and sore, so don't even think of rubbing a washcloth over the incisions, stitches, and bruised breasts! Bathe yourself as you would a newborn baby; gently and tenderly. Don't lift anything heavier than a coffee cup, chocolate bon-bon, or a spoonful of ice cream! Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but lifting heavy objects is out of the question for awhile. Forget about carrying bags of groceries, or lifting children, all that is off limits! Think of your breast reduction as a mini-vacation. And, in a short while you will need to go shopping for new tops! The old tops will be too big – don't you just hate when that happens! Oh!
