When you start to think about having a breast reduction and take a step toward this procedure by booking a cosmetic surgery consultation, you'll almost certainly be dreaming about how your breasts will look after the surgery and recovery period are complete. If your breasts are very large and hang lower than you like, you'll be thinking about how they'll be more of a desirable size and be positioned farther up on your torso. What you might not know, however, is that breast reduction surgery can lead to some additional visual changes that you'll almost certainly find appealing. Here are three differences that you'll notice.
Improved Nipple Angle
One of the challenges that many women with excessively large breasts face is that their nipples point toward the ground. This can especially be true as they age. Although some women may not mind this look, there are others for whom this situation can be embarrassing. In some scenarios, nipples that face downward may give the breasts the appearance of being farther down on the torso than they actually are. Breast reduction surgery can change the angle of the nipples so that they point away from your body, which may be more pleasing.
Higher Areolas
In a similar manner, the position of your areolas can change when your breasts are of an above-average size. In many women's breasts, there's a significant amount of normal breast skin between the bottoms of the areolas and the bottoms of the breasts. However, in breasts that are very large, it's common for the areolas to appear at the bottom of the breasts with no breast skin visible beneath them. This can further make your breasts appear saggier than they really are. A positive visual change from breast reduction is that you'll once again have skin visible between the bottom of each areola and the bottom of the breast.
Better Side-To-Side Symmetry
Even if both of your breasts are extremely large, it's possible that one is smaller than the other. A discrepancy of this nature can be subtle or pronounced — but, either way, it's apt to have you feeling a bit embarrassed about how this part of your body looks. As your cosmetic surgeon performs your breast reduction, they will ensure that both of your breasts end up being the same size. This will give you a high degree of symmetry between the left and the right breast.
