Boob reduction for back pain

3 replies

Rocco85 · 25/09/2018 09:18

Hello.. has anyone had a boob reduction to reduce back pain? I'm so sick of my neck hunch and continuous back pain. I have a 30/32 back and an currently in a G/GG but can't seem to find a bra which make me feel supported, comfortable and not middle aged and saggy!! I also just hate my boobs, especially since having my little one. Does anyone have any success stories of getting a reduction in the nhs and it alleviating pain and helping with a hunch/bad posture? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm sorry you're at that point. I am interested in this topic too. My dil is undergoing reduction surgery in a couple of weeks. We don't live in the uk, but hers is covered by insurance as the constant pain is too much and her doctor referred her for it. A friend of a friend who had it done back in the '70's said her only complaint was not doing it ten years sooner.☺
Other than that I only other that know (of) is the actress on Modern Family who plays Alex, she had it done on summer break a few years ago.
What I was going to post was, has anybody who has had it done have any helpful tips on recovery? I was wondering about how I can help dil as she recovers. Hoping some who have been through come to your thread.

I know you have to keep your arms down below breast level, you can't brush your hair even...and not lift over 10 lbs. And only showers, not bath for ? amount of time. She will be of work for weeks.

If she does decide to go private I can recommend this surgeon

The NHS wouldn't do me so I went private. Surgeon was brilliant. Only needed paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief and was back at work in 3 weeks. (office job).
