Denver Breast Reduction Surgery

Women with very large, often pendulous, breasts are candidates for a breast reduction. We call the condition of very large breasts "gigantomastia."

Medical complaints of women with gigantomastia include:

Pain – Of the back, neck, shoulders, and breasts themselves

Headaches – From neck strain secondary to the weight

Stretching and thinning of the breast skin – Traction of gravity eventually stretches breast skin making it thin and fragile

Numbness – Skin stretching can cause loss of skin sensitivity

Grooving of shoulders – Where bra straps cut in from supporting the breasts; may cause permanent skin discoloration in the grooves

Arthritic changes – Of the neck and upper back

Difficulty breathing – The weight of large breasts can be a lot of work for an older person with existing heart or lungs problems

Poor posture – Caused by the breast weight, with rounding of shoulders

Rashes, skin inflammation, & irritation beneath the breasts – Drooping breast skin resting against skin of upper abdomen creates perspiration, bacterial growth, irritation; worse during warm weather.
