subject: Breast Reduction Pills: Do They Really Work? [print this page] Breast reduction surgery is very common in the US, with over 88 thousand women undergoing the procedure in 2008 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Most patients undergo the procedure for very good reasons.
Breasts that are too large can cause a host of problems for women, including ill-fitting clothing, back pain and discomfort, neck pain, difficulty finding correctly fitting bras or having to pay extra for custom sizes, plus the inconveniences and live interruptions that come along with these issues. Added to physical issues are the emotional and self-esteem damage that can come with being unhappy and affected by the size of your breasts.
Are reduction pills the answer?
Many women would be happy to have a treatment as simple as a pill available to them to reduce the size of their breasts, but there is some debate as to whether or not the currently marketed products fulfill their claims.
Firstly, you should always consult with your doctor before deciding to take any pill that claims to aid in reduction. Some may be dangerous or contain ingredients you may be allergic to, and not all are approved for use in the US by the FDA.
Safety warnings aside, some women report success with certain treatments, while others have tried them with no benefit. Only you and your doctor can decide which, if any, solution is right for you and your situation. Pills alone typically cannot cause the dramatic size difference that many women with issues associated with large breasts are hoping for, so always make sure to keep your expectations in check and accept that surgery may be your only option.
Some manufacturers do offer money-back guarantees if the treatment does not work for you within a certain period, usually two to three months. If you see no difference, you may be able to return the unused portion for a full or partial refund. Be wary of companies that may provide an international return address or give a very strict time limit. Additionally try to avoid any that make claims and promises that sound too good to be true, such as "works 100 percent guaranteed".
Surgical Option
If you have tried oral supplements with little or no success, it is best to seek the advice of a professional cosmetic surgeon. The surgery may be expensive, but it should be a one-time cost that will provide you with dramatic results and fast and lasting relief. Some health insurers will cover the surgery as well if it is causing other health issues such as back problems.
