Breast reduction surgery has consistently been one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States. The reason being is that the symptoms correlated with large breasts are painful and damaging to a woman’s body.
Larger breasts are medically called macromastia, if large breasts cause pain this condition is called symptomatic macromastia. Some of the most common symptoms associated with large breasts are;
- Chest Wall Pain

There are a number of non-invasive options to treat the symptoms of symptomatic macromastia, however these are only temporary solutions and do not fix the underlying issue of macromastia. Some of these options to relieve pain include, ibuprofen, chiropractor, massage and physical therapy. Often times women look to better bra support to relieve pain and discomfort, but that can typically causes further problems with your neck, shoulder and chest wall.
