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.
