Many women struggle to keep their back straight because of the extra weight on the chest. Over time, the pain can become chronic and discomforting. Usually, most women are unaware of what causes extremely large breasts. And once the breasts have grown to a certain size, the risk of getting backaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, etc. will only increase.
The good thing is there are several ways to manage breast pain and back pain, such as support bra, exercises, and especially breast reduction surgery. While the other non-surgical methods are quite helpful in most cases, they don’t provide a long-term effective solution. Breast reduction surgery is the most effective way to reduce back pain and other big breast problems.
If you are one of those women who are tired of carrying the weight of large boobs and thinking about getting breast reduction surgery, we are here to guide you. Today, we will discuss some important things related to heavy breasts and how breast reduction surgery can help you.
Why do Large Booobs Cause Back Pain?
Large boobs or macromastia are frequently observed in women. While some women don’t get big breast problems, others often find them difficult to deal with. But why do heavy breasts cause back pain?
When the breasts grow, the ligaments stretch, and the body weight shifts forward, thereby changing the body’s center of gravity. The excess weight on the chest puts stress on the extensor muscles of the back and the spinal discs. The back muscles try to keep the spine in the optimal position, which causes consistent tension, resulting in pain. Even after all the efforts made by back muscles to keep the spine straight, sometimes the spine gets curved, which ultimately leads to back pain and poor posture. Moreover, when a woman wears a bra to support the weight, her shoulders also start to ache due to extremely large breasts.
Psychological issues are also significant in women with macromastia or breast hypertrophy. Due to being conscious about the large boobs, women tend to hunch forward, which again complicates things for the spine and back muscles.

Symptoms of Large Breasts- Signs That You Need Breast Reduction
As the breast weight goes out of proportion to the rest of the body, it becomes harder for the muscles and the ligaments to support the neck, back, and spine. Occasional backaches is the first sign that the breasts are getting heavier than the size your back can support properly. Gradually, the backaches turn to severe symptoms like-
- Chronic pain in the upper and lower back along with spine and neck
- The spine becomes curved and the posture becomes really poor (even indicates deformity of the spine)
- Shoulders slouch in the forward direction, and the shoulder and arm joints feel strained
- Rashes and irritation are frequent under the breasts
- It gets difficult to run, jog, or perform any other physical activity
- The pain in the back and neck is constant
All these symptoms indicate that macromastia is affecting your mobility on a regular basis. Thus, proper management and treatment are required. Fortunately, with breast reduction surgery, you can resolve the big breast problems and reduce the size considerably.

How Breast Reduction Provides Relief from Back Pain?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is the surgical procedure to remove excess glandular and fatty tissues from heavy breasts. Over the past few decades, it has become a very popular plastic surgery due to the benefits it offers.
With breast reduction, not only the size of the breasts will be smaller, but their shape will also improve. Once the excess tissues are removed, you will get relief from back aches, neck pain, spinal pain, poor posture, self-image issues, and shoulder aches.
You will get the following benefits after undergoing breast reduction for back pain-
- The chronic pain in the back, shoulder, and neck will alleviate as there won’t be excess tissues to pull the muscles.
- Back posture will improve with smaller breasts and the body’s center of gravity will stabilize.
- Shoulders won’t be pulled in the forward direction to the large boobs, and the bra won’t hurt as much as it used to.
- Chafing, irritation and rashes in the breast crease will also become less frequent or zero if you follow proper hygiene.
- You can wear the clothing of your choice without feeling self-conscious about your body or your large boobs.
- Physical activities will become easier with less weight on your shoulders.
Although breast reduction is a cosmetic procedure, it has considerable physical benefits that improve the woman’s quality of life and overall health (social and psychological).
