Introduction

At a point, many women do want their breast size to be reduced due to professional and personal reasons. Are you one of those looking to reduce your breast size naturally and effectively? I am Dr. Sandeep Bhasin, running Care Well Medical Centre. I usually come across a lot of possible patients wanting to reduce their breast sizes. But you should know that, as per studies, breast sizes are mainly linked to genetic factors. While hormonal changes and weight gains/losses also play a major role. Many feel comfortable with their natural breast sizes, while many feel discomfort, awkwardness, or self-consciousness, and they look for options for reducing breast sizes. 

However, there are surgical and non-surgical ways to reduce your breast size. But again, I find a lot of women wanting to reduce their breast sizes naturally. Did you know? There are a lot of people who face medical issues due to their large breast size. for example, posture disbalance, excessive back pain, and heaviness in the chest. 

In this article, you will learn about 8 naturally proven factors that will help you reduce your breast sizes. 

Top 8 Naturally Proven Breast Reducing Strategies

1. Surgical Breast Reduction Method

If you are looking to significantly reduce your breast size, then I would suggest you go for mammoplasty or reduction surgery methods. The surgical methods involve reducing your breast size by removing the unwanted fats, tissues, and skin to get the desired breast shape. 

Why Would You Consider Surgical Methods?

There are a few benefits of surgical methods. 

  • You Get Physical Benefits: As said, a large breast can cause back and neck pain. Taking up surgical methods can drastically reduce your breast size and remove your neck and back pain. 
  • You Get Improved Posture: Once your breast size is reduced, your body balance is improved, and any paint or stain is reduced drastically. 
  • You Have Better Confidence: If you have faced problems due to large breast size, then you will no longer face any problems like discomfort, self-consciousness, or awkwardness. 

Expert Suggestion: As a surgeon, I have found out that most of the people who go through surgical breast reduction methods feel better and remove their entire discomforts. But still, this is entirely your personal decision. I would always recommend consulting your surgeon. 

2. Inculcating a Healthy Diet Plan

Diet plan for breast reduction

You must ensure you have a healthy dietary plan. Since the breast mostly consists of fatty tissues, it is imperative to maintain a healthy dietary plan. Your overall breast size can be determined by your weight and overall health. 

Foods to Adopt in Your Dietary Plan

  • You can go for green vegetables that are rich in nutrients. For example, spinach or broccoli. 
  • You can also take fruits like apples for fiber intake and oranges for vitamin C. 
  • You can also intake proteins like salmon fish, chicken, and turkey.

Food that can be Avoided

  • Any processed food items, deeply fried junk food items, sugar-laced snacks and drinks, and any products that are high in fatty acids. 

Expert Suggestion: You could consider Mediterranean-style food habit. for example, those food items that are rich in proteins, nutrients, and whole grains to support entire body systems. 

3. Exercising Regularly to Remain Fit

Exercise for breast size reduction

To reduce your breast fatty tissues, you can exercise regularly. It will help you reduce your breast size. Exercise also keeps you healthy and fresh. Do note that exercise does not directly impact your breast size, but your overall body weight can determine the size. 

Exercises to Follow

  • Push Ups are the most common and underrated exercise. It helps improve your body posture and strengthens chest muscles. You should try to aim for 3 sets of 10 push-ups.
  • Dumbbell flies are also a good exercise option. Dumbbell uplifts and tones the breast’s lower area called the pectorals. 
  • Cardiovascular workout sessions are perfect for your overall body as they burn fat. Swimming, cycling, and running, for example. 

Expert Advice: I would always suggest you aim for the best by exercising at least 30 minutes regularly. Make exercise a part of your daily activity. It can help you reduce your breast size naturally. 

4. Choosing the Right Bra Size Matters

Choosing the right bra size for proper breast support and comfort

If you have the right bra size, it can drastically help you compress your breast size and appear and give you the desired comfort levels. Remember, bra’s do not reduce your breast size but help you compress and create a smaller illusion shape. 

What to Look for in a Bra?

  • Minimizer Bra Options: This bra type can help your breast keep compressed and widen your breast tissues. 
  • Full Cup Bra Options: This bra will help your breasts be in shape and give you better support. 
  • Wide Bra Straps Options: It will simply remove any shoulder pain you have due to your large breast size. 

Have you tried? Many lingerie stores give you an option to get bra-fitting services. This service helps you determine your perfect bra size. 

Having the right bra size can visibly reduce your breast size and overall appearance, but it cannot directly reduce your breast size. 

5. Herbal Options to Reduce Your Breast Size

Herbal Options to Reduce Your Breast Size

There are certain herbal options that can help in your breast reduction journey. For example, green tea acts as an antioxidant, reduces weight, and boosts metabolism. Ginger tea is said to also reduce body inflammations and support hormonal regulations. These herbal methods cannot directly reduce your breast size but will definitely complement it. 

What are the Popular Options?

  • Green tea is said to boost metabolism and support the fat loss journey.
  • Ginger tea is said to be good because it helps burn calories and regulate hormones. 
  • The use of turmeric helps you reduce body inflammation and balance your hormones. 

Cautious Advice: If you are thinking of using herbal remedies, you first consult your qualified surgeon. If you are pregnant or taking medication, then you should be cautious. 

6. Binding Methods for Temporary Relief

Herbal Options to Reduce Your Breast Size

The binding method provides temporary relief and makes your breast appear small. It helps compress the tissue using fabric with binders. Wearing a fitting dress or formal dress can make your appearance look fit. It can also make you look attractive physically and help you do sports activities. 

Safe Advice

  • Never bind your bra too tight; it could lead to breathing difficulties. 
  • Never wear your tight bra for a long time. This could damage your skin and cause skin irritation.
  • Always, as suggested, consult your qualified surgeon as and when required.

7. Managing Your Estrogen Levels

Did you know? If your estrogen levels are high, then it could contribute to bigger breast sizes. You should regulate your estrogen levels naturally because it can help you reduce your breast tissue over time. I suggest you take up a healthy diet by eating green vegetables and whole-grain food items. A study conducted in the year 2021 found that women who regularly exercise regulate estrogen levels. 

How can you Reduce Estrogen Naturally?

  • Excessive consumption of alcohol can increase estrogen levels. We recommend that we reduce or stop consuming alcohol. 
  • It is important to take up healthy dietary options. This will help regulate your estrogen levels.
  • Avoid taking estrogen-based medications because they could hamper your hormones and their changes. 

Research Observations: A reputed medical journal advised that dietary changes and weight management can drastically impact your overall hormonal regulation. 

8. Breast Reduction Using Yoga Techniques

Yoga has a significant impact on your overall well-being. Yoga asanas can help you reduce your overall breast size. Here are a few yoga asanas and exercises to perform. 

Few Lists of Yoga Poses or Exercises:

  • Practicing Uttanasana: This means you stand straight while bending forward, and you inhale and exhale. This is done by making your hands touch the floor or resting on your shins. You need to hold for about 30 seconds and then get back to a normal posture. 
  • Practicing Ustrasana: This yoga pose helps you keep healthy. Its prime role is to improve posture and strengthen muscles. This helps you regulate hormone levels. 

8 Natural Ways to Reduce Breast Size

Busting Myths About Breast Size Reductions

Myth 1: You can use spot reduction to reduce breast fat and size. 

Fact: Spot reduction cannot reduce your breast fat or size. Dietary and exercise can be done over a period of time. 

Myth 2: You can reduce breast size using herbal options. 

Fact: Herbal options cannot reduce breast size. It only helps support hormonal balance and weight loss journeys. 

Final Words

Are you trying to reduce your breast size in a natural way? If so, then you’ll need to be patient and take an organic & holistic approach. You should add regular yoga and exercise to your routine, consume rich and healthy food, always mind to wear the correct bra size only, and monitor your estrogen levels. You should know that the above mentioned methods could take time but not necessarily work for every individual. 

On the other hand, if you want an instant reduction in the size of the breast, a breast reduction surgical option is the best choice. However, breast reduction surgery is a proven method and should always be performed by an experienced and skilled surgeon.
