You Don’t Have to Allow Larger Breasts to Minimize Your Life
We love helping a variety of patients who come to our office find the right solution for their cosmetic goals. A patient might want a mid-life ‘upgrade” to help move toward the future with a brighter outlook.
Others desire to get their body back after a pregnancy or rapid weight loss. There are many typical reasons for seeking plastic surgery here in Beverly Hills.
Some Los Angeles locals come to our door for a different reason. Their bodies have changed in a way that they no longer feel comfortable doing the things that bring them the most joy. A top issue women come to talk to us about are unreasonably large breasts.
Huge breasts can happen during certain life stages, like puberty, or occur during a milestone moment, like pregnancy. At other times, the problem is hereditary, grandma an aunts had the same big bosoms. There is also a rare medical condition called breast hypertrophy, also called macromastia or gigantomastia . This condition is specific to women and can lead to severe physical discomfort like back pain, headaches, and poor posture. It also impacts their physical abilities and self-image.

Sometimes women might wonder what a good reason for a breast reduction is. Shouldn’t I just ‘live with it,’ like other women do? We might respond with our own question: Is doing nothing worth a lifetime sacrifice?
Here are two examples to think about:
Jessica played soccer her entire childhood, and she thrives in the competitive arena. She loves her teammates and dreams of getting a sports scholarship for college. When Jessica reaches middle school, her body experiences puberty, and her breasts keep growing beyond the size of her teammates. Even with a sports bra, her huge breasts make it difficult to perform at her best. And the sweat under her breasts causes rashes and pain, too. Her ability to perform and her confidence take a big hit. She comes to believe those scholarship hopes will only remain a dream.
Emma discovered tennis in high school and has developed a passion for it. She favored one arm over the other, which led to one breast becoming smaller than the other. Emma didn’t think it was a significant enough issue to address and went on with her life. In adulthood, after giving birth, the hormones made the lopsided breasts more evident to everyone. Form-fitting clothes, including swimsuits, are now out of the question. When she and her mom friends hang out poolside, she stays in a cover-up and refuses to swim with the kids. Emma is missing out on participating in these heart-felt moments.
Both Emma and Jessica have minimized their lives because of their large breasts. They can benefit from plastic surgery, and their situations might even mean a PPO could help cover some of the costs. Dr. Ourian and the staff are ready to hear your story and help you get back to the things you love.
