Large Breasts

The size of a woman’s breasts differs from one female to another, and whether a woman feels they are too large is her own perception. While this may be considered desirable in certain societal contexts, their impact on a woman’s body appearance and well-being varies individually too. Large breasts can contribute to back pain, discomfort and poor posture, which can affect a woman’s overall well-being. Societal ideals may also influence body image, emphasising diverse beauty standards that appreciate various breast sizes and shapes.

The size of a woman’s breasts is primarily influenced by genetic factors, determining the amount of glandular tissue and fat deposited in the breast area. Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, and menstrual cycles play a crucial role in breast development. Oestrogen, in particular, promotes breast tissue growth and fat deposition, and is a consideration for the overdevelopment of the breast during these times. Some medical conditions, such as hormonal imbalances or certain medications, can also contribute to breast enlargement. Weight gain may lead to an increase in breast size, as breasts contain a certain amount of fatty tissue. While genetics and hormonal factors are predominant, lifestyle, diet, and overall health can influence breast size to some extent. Embracing the diversity of body shapes and sizes is essential, as individual experiences and perceptions of large breasts vary widely.

Breast reduction is a safe and effective procedure that addresses these issues both aesthetically and with physical comfort. Mr Waseem Bhat conducts a thorough examination of the breasts prior to the procedure, tailoring his techniques to produce natural looking results that creates smaller, lifted breasts. Nipple correction can be combined with this surgery, if required, improving the overall appearance.
