One pro is she will probably have less back pain if she has any. A con is she’s changing her body. If it is causing her backpain, there are excersises that she can do to reduce the fat in that are since breast a mostly fat. But if it doesnt cause her back pain, i say keep them because thats how God created her to be.
If the breast size is completely out of hand, such as it’s causing back pain or social issues, then a reduction can be good.
I don’t believe there are many cons to a breast reduction. Most people that get them are very happy with their decision.
A breast reduction removes fatty tissue and skin, and shouldn’t harm the important parts, so to say.
Of course every surgery comes with a risk, but most of those risks are very harmless/easy to fix.
I would say talk to a doctor about it, set up an appointment with your daughter.
PRONS:: no more back pain, proptianol to her body, higher self esteem CONS: problematic for future brest feeding
I’ve had breast reduction this week, and I’m 20. I have been planing this since I was 16 years, and went to visit a surgeon back then that convinced me to think about it, and the best thing would be that my breasts would be fully developed. I did so, but was still uncomfortable, and had a real bad problem with accepting myself, so I had them done. As with all procedures it hurts. I could/still barley go to the rest rooms and simple things..such us waking out of bed was painful, but I do not regret it.. Talk to a qualified surgeon and see what they say…
I’m 19 and I had my breast reduction surgery done 3 years ago tomorrow. I was a 36GG and I’m now I’m a 36C. I am 98% satisified with when I chose to have the surgery done & the outcome
Realistically there are several things to look at.
The pros for me were:
- No more back problems
- Able to wear smaller clothes (I was wear size large when the rest of my body was a small/medium)
- Self confidence
- No more crude jokes or negative attention from disgusting OLDER guys or boys from school
- Doing it while I was young so I recovered quickly
The cons for me were:
- Scars that can be noticeable, I can’t wear string bikinis
- Probably cannot breastfeed my future children
- Painful scaring on my sides that took 2+ years to completely heal
- Self conscious about the scarring around my areolas
- Bras don’t necessarily fit the same as the did before
Breast reduction was the right decision for me but it’s definitely not for everyone. Talk about all your opinions but I definitely wouldn’t wait until much longer. I know some people recommend waiting until you’re “fully developed” but after having it done my sophomore year of high school, school was much better for me. I no longer had people talking about me or guys trying to “date” me because of my breast size. In a way I became a new person because I was able to be appreciated for more than just my horrible breast size!
& don’t worry about the scarring! It shouldn’t be a reason to not go through with it. My mom always said I wasn’t planning “a career as a stripper so the scarring wasn’t something to worry about. My future husband would love my body regardless of the scarring.”
Hope this helped!
i had a very successful breast reduction in oct 2008. i cannot think of one Con to having the surgery. it was the best thing i ever did.
a con could be if complications arise post surgery.
i noticed the woman before me gave a lot of cons.
my surgeon told me there is no reason why a women today couldn’t breastfeed after surgery. the old way of doing the surgery was to completely sever the nipple and reattach. today, they just cut the skin and reposition the nipple.
also, healing does take a little time. my surgeon had me put paper tape over my scar lines to keep them flat and thin for about 3 months after the surgery. 1 year later, you can’t even tell. when i get out of a really hot shower, the scars are a little red. i asked a guy i was dating about a year and half after my surgery. he said he wouldn’t have even known if i didn’t tell him.
one con is losing sensitivity. i do not have sensitivity in my nipples like i used to. this does not happen to everyone.
overall, i had a wonderful experience. if i had to make the decision again, i would say yes in less the a heartbeat. any con i could have or will suffer would be well worth it.
