It is true that breast augmentation is on a high these days as large breast size is considered a highly favored feminine factor. However, having excessively large and out sized breasts can be a cause of a large number of problems. Some of them could be:

· Neck pain

· Upper back pain

· Breast pain

· Shoulder pain

· Painful grooves over the shoulder because of bra straps

· Under the breast rashes due to friction and sweat

· Bad posture

Other than these physical issues, there are some other difficulties also that a woman has to face:

· Restrictions during some exercises

· Self consciousness

· Going through teasing, feeling embarrassed and emotional stress

· Major discomfort and easy target of jokes

· Difficulty in finding clothing and bras that fit your size.

In light of these problems, it is not surprising that breast reduction techniques are extensively used these days. According to a study with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, about 106,790 breast reduction surgeries were carried out in 2007. That accounts for a 25% hike since the year 2001. Cosmetic surgery for breast is no doubt the last and final resort to reduce your breast tissues. It is considered as one of the most effective methods but it poses high risk.

Therefore, it is better to try other resorts to reduce the size of one’s breasts. These include:

· Diet: It is natural that if one reduces overall weight than breast size will also be reduced naturally. But this method is restricted to people who suffer from over weight issues.

· One may try wearing two bras. Not only will it give extra uplift to the breast, it will give a small breast look by pulling the breast.

· Get yourself a good quality minimizing bra. Though it is little expensive, but it works amazingly. Even if you are wearing a normal bra, make sure that it fits properly.

· Doing right chest exercises can be helpful. Find out about the right exercises. Doing wrong exercise can instead increase the breast size.

· Breast reduction pills: There are a variety of pills that boast of reducing breast size but these have to be used cautiously. One must check for all the side effects before taking these pills. It is better that one uses herbal pills which do not have any side effects.
