Large breasts don’t mean your breasts are any more pleasing. Shape and proportion come into play too. Your feelings about your breasts also impact how you and others see them. Overly large breasts can sometimes leave a lasting negative impression. They can also cause back pain and make it difficult for you to find clothes that fit well.
There are many physical, health-related and psychological reasons for breast reduction surgery. Regardless of age, women who’ve had this surgery report a high degree of satisfaction. In fact, these former patients stated that breast reduction improved their quality of life. And your breast reduction surgery in NJ or NYC may even be covered by your health insurance.

All these factors affect you physically, mentally and emotionally. Factors that shape your body image and self-esteem may include:
