Breast Reduction Surgery as a Solution for Back and Neck Pain

If you live with heavy breasts, you know the strain they put on your body. Back pain, neck stiffness, and even shoulder grooves from bra straps are daily reminders of the extra weight you carry. 

Many women in Layton and Salt Lake City share these struggles, and it often feels like no amount of stretching or supportive bras can fully solve the problem. 

At Dr. York Yates Plastic Surgery in Layton, Utah, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Yates performs breast reduction surgery to help relieve this kind of discomfort.

How Breast Reduction Surgery Can Help

Large breasts can hold you back in ways most people do not realize, whether it’s skipping workouts, avoiding certain clothes, or living with constant soreness. 

Breast reduction lifts that weight physically and emotionally. You can move freely, choose clothes for style instead of coverage, and enjoy activities you may have avoided before. Even simple things can feel brand new, like sleeping comfortably on your side or standing tall without your shoulders rounding forward.

What Recovery Is Really Like

Most women take about one to two weeks away from work or heavy activity to rest. With Dr. Yates’ experience and his rapid-recovery anesthesia techniques, many women in Utah describe the process as smoother than they expected. 

Some soreness and swelling are normal at the beginning, but each week you should notice steady progress. 

You will likely return to most of your daily activities within a few weeks, though it can take several months for full healing. Having clear guidance from Dr. Yates and his team helps you know what to expect at every stage, which makes the recovery feel more manageable.
