Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu explains the reason for back pain and posture disorders frequently seen in women.
Working long hours at a desk in daily life, incorrect sitting positions and a sedentary lifestyle are among the main reasons for posture disorders commonly seen in women. However, many women ignore an important factor that affects spinal health and leads to chronic pain over time: Breast size.
Breast size can cause these problems
Having large and disproportionate breasts can change the body’s center of gravity and cause posture disorders. Leaning shoulders forward, constantly tense back muscles and excessive load on the waist area can cause pain to increase over time. The following problems are especially common:
- Back and waist pain: Large breasts put extra load on the spine, causing muscles and connective tissues to strain.
- Neck pain and headaches: Pulling the weight forward can cause constant tension in the neck muscles and tension-type headaches.
- Shoulder collapse and posture disorders: Constantly carrying the shoulders forward can cause a hunchback posture.
- Difficulty exercising: Large breasts can cause discomfort during physical activities and limit mobility.
- Skin irritation and diaper rash: Especially in the summer months, irritation and fungal infections can occur in the skin layers under the breast.
Can you get rid of these problems with breast reduction surgery?
Postural disorders and chronic pain can seriously reduce the quality of life over time. At this point, breast reduction surgery offers an important solution in terms of health, beyond being just an aesthetic operation. Bringing the breasts to a size proportionate to the body with breast reduction surgery can improve posture and relieve pain by reducing pressure on the spine.
Benefits of breast reduction surgery:
- Relief of back, neck and waist pain by reducing the load on the spine,
- A more upright and balanced posture,
- Being able to do sports and physical activities more comfortably,
- More freedom in choosing daily clothes,
- Prevention of problems such as skin irritation and diaper rash.
If you are experiencing constant back, neck and shoulder pain and loss of self-confidence due to posture disorders, you can consult an Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery specialist for detailed information about breast reduction surgery. With the right intervention, you can step into a healthy and comfortable life.
