There are many reasons a woman might choose to have breast reduction surgery, and it's not always about aesthetics. Female athletes sometimes find that large breasts interfere with sports, and chose breast reduction surgery to improve their comfort, and sometimes their performance too.
Tennis star Simona Halep made news when she had a breast reduction from a 34DD to a 34C at age 17. In interviews, Halep said her breasts made her so uncomfortable she couldn't play tennis properly, and she's been very pleased with the results post-surgery.
ABC News did a recent segment on this issue - click here to view the story.
In our practice here at Savannah Plastic Surgery, we've performed several breast reductions on young female athletes looking for similar relief. The excessive weight of large breasts can lead to neck and back problems for any woman, but these problems can greatly interfere with the success and comfort of an athlete.
