Question

Are there ways to reduce breast size without surgery?

Answer 1

Breast Reduction: Large breast can cause significant discomfort and inconvenience. In many cases, breast reduction surgery is the most predictable method available to reduce breast volume and provide an aestheetic breast shape. No surgical methods, such as diet and exercise can help if you are over weight, but for congenitally large breasts, this does not always work.

Answer 2

Lose weight : Breast are mostly fat. Weight loss will lead to smaller breasts. If you are normal weight or have very large breast compared to the rest of your body consider surgical breast reduction.

Answer 3

At times yes...: Fibrocystic breast can have different characteristics- you can feel something that feels like a small "bb", a rock, a pea or just and area of irregular thicness and tenderness. However any new breast finding or change in breast warrants eval by your doctor and possibly mammogram and/or ultrasound. It is important to be assessed- so make an appointment.

Answer 4

Yes: In fact, it's not uncommon for the breast to feel "lumpy".

Answer 5

Can be helpful: At this time there is much controversy about need for self breast exam. Guidelines recommend against. However, the possibility of you finding a lump or change on your exam can help make a diagnosis of a breast condition- more quickly. Your risk of breast problems should also be a guiding factor. If you are properly taught to do SBE there is no real harm to do them- and may help.

Answer 6

Focus on your normal: Focus on learning what's normal for you and your body. Then if there's something different or drawing your attention particularly if it's persistent then contact your doctor and let them evaluate.

Answer 7

Agree with Dr. M: An addition item to address is hydration. Drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless.

Answer 8

Reduction: Natural ways to decrease the volume of your breast size is healthy methods of weight loss. The only other way is to surgical reduce the breast- this is called a reduction mammoplasty. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this invasive method.

Answer 9

Weight loss helps.: But really, the only other proven method is surgery with a breast reduction. Also - avoid Estrogens & phyto-estrogens.

Answer 10
