A ^Retired Plastic Surgeon's Notebook

The big price of big bras

Seattle Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder, braves the crowds at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.

Bra shopping can be an exercise in frustration.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale is a great time to buy life’s little necessities, like well made bras at a price that doesn’t totally blow one’s clothing budget.  I was recently participating the lingerie department scrum and heard so much grumbling about how hard it was to find bras that comfortably fit the mature and , er, fuller figured woman and how darn expensive these large cup bras were.

Just looking at some of those G cup bras made my back ache and made me wonder if most women who suffer in the fitting room know how much benefit they could obtain from a breast reduction.  I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about breast reductions.  Reductions are often thought of as a purely unloading procedure rather than a nice shaping and lifting procedure.  Also, breast reduction doesn’t get nearly as much media attention as breast imlants do.

I think of breast reduction not as an unloading procedure but  as a mission to find the smaller, perkier breast in the overly large and saggy breast.  It is really about the closest procedure to sculpting that I perform.  Breast reduction is an operation that helps ladies feel and look better and may also make that spent in the fitting room a little less frustrating.

Thanks for reading!  Lisa Lynn Sowder, M.D.
