I have a really large bust size at 38E and it's causing me a lot of problems I can't run properly, my back and shoulders hurt constantly, and I don't even feel sensation in my breasts. I'm 5'3 and weigh 57 kg, and it's really affecting my self-esteem. Would breast reduction surgery be a good option for me? What should I consider before going for it?

I've struggled with weight loss through diet and exercise because of hormone issues, low motivation, and bad sleep patterns. Since I'm not morbidly obese, bariatric surgery isn't an option for me, but I'm considering liposuction even though I know it's not for weight loss. Could it still help me in some way?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Had gynecomastia surgery but there's still fat left in my chest area. The incision and excision method wasn't used and now the fat seems to be increasing every day. Why is this happening and what can be done about it?

It's possible for gynecomastia surgery to leave some residual fat, and the feeling of increased fat can be due to several factors, including swelling, scar tissue, and the way the skin has settled. While the surgery itself removes the breast tissue and fat cells, there can be some fat left behind, and the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there are changes in your diet or activity levels.
