Patient Satisfaction Soars after Breast Reduction

How breast reduction can change your life Ariel Winter, the star of ABC’s “Modern Family,” recently made headlines when she announced she had undergone breast reduction to alleviate the physical and psychological pain of her F-cup sized breasts. The 17-year-old told Glamour magazine, “The feeling of not having so much there was such a relief … I feel like a new person.”

Ariel’s experience is not unique. Dr. William LoVerme, a plastic surgeon at Accurate Aesthetics, has worked with many breast reduction patients whose lives change for the better after surgery. Studies have shown that breast reduction patients have some of the highest satisfaction rates after their procedure. Here’s why:

Alleviates Physical Pain

Women seeking breast reduction often have paralyzing pain in their back and neck. They may have permanent grooves on their shoulders because of their bra straps digging into the skin. Exercising is usually difficult because heavy, oversized breasts hinder movement and put extra stress on the body. Sometimes it is even hard to stand up straight because of pendulous breasts. By removing a substantial amount of breast tissue, the procedure literally lightens the load on the rest of the body; this improves posture and alleviates pain and discomfort.

Eliminates Psychological Discomfort

It is also common for women with large breasts to feel self-conscious, embarrassed and even ashamed of their bodies. For teenagers like Ariel, large breasts cause unwanted attention (often sexual in nature) and teasing or bullying from peers. Ariel mentioned to Glamour that before her surgery, she felt like her peers were talking about her breasts behind her back.

Breast reduction brings oversized breasts into better proportion with the rest of the body. Patients usually feel a sense of confidence and peace about their appearance and natural beauty after surgery.

Improves Quality of Life

In her interview with Glamour, Ariel shared some of the ways her life has improved after breast reduction — many of which Dr. LoVerme has heard from his patients, too.

  • The breasts look proportional to the rest of the body (neither too big nor too small).
  • It is easier to shop for clothes and find flattering styles.
  • Self-confidence skyrockets.
  • Posture improves.
  • Exercise and sports become fun again.
