Does A Breast Reduction Make You Look Thinner?
Breast surgery changes the shape, size, and/or projection of the breasts. However, these alterations can have effects on the other parts of the body. Many patients report that they get comments about their overall physique and many people cannot pick out that they even did something to their breasts. While it is common after breast augmentation for patients to look slimmer, many ask, “Does a breast reduction make you look thinner?”
In some patients, yes, a breast reduction can make them look leaner. Some patients have slim bodies, but larger breasts. This is common with a condition called gigantomastia which occurs for many reasons. If the breasts are reduced to a more proportionate and manageable size, this can mean that the patient can wear well fitted clothing that naturally makes them look thinner.
Additionally, when the breasts come into proportion with the rest of the body’s contours, it can create a more natural looking curve to the body that is often flattering. Therefore, while this is not true in all breast reduction, some patients may look thinner after a breast reduction procedure.
