Will Having Big Boobs Be Popular Again
I have to go something off my breast (pun intended): Having big boobs kind of sucks.
I first developed breasts when I was 9 years old. Past the fourth dimension I was fifteen, my breasts were a DD on my minor girl frame. I was young, and big boobs made me look and feel more grown. I felt lucky to have them.
Over time, I've developed a more mature hourglass shape and today, at five anxiety alpine with breasts size DDD or E or F (depending on the bra shop), the tiptop of my hourglass has become a little besides total. When I go shopping for $80-plus brassieres, or try to clothing a button-up shirt or turtleneck, or go in to awkwardly hug a co-worker, or when strangers optics' (or, let'south be existent, easily!) wander to my chest, I don't feel and so lucky anymore. I feel kind of cursed.
I become it, big boobs —which I'll define every bit a US DD or larger — are seen every bit absurd and desirable. In 2018, over 300,000 women received breast implants or augmentations to lift their chests. Large breasts on women are typically sexualized and considered preferred by men. The hourglass shape has become an increasingly desirable body type, with women donning waist trainers and undergoing medical procedures to get bodies akin to that of celebs like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj or Kim Kardashian.
But for some people similar me, it can be a pain in the cervix ― literally ― and the bad heavily outweighs the good.
"When patients come to me, the symptoms that they tell me include neck pain, back pain, grooves in their shoulders or rashes underneath their breasts," Dr. Melissa Doft , a New York City plastic surgeon and assistant professor at the Weill Cornell School of Medicine, told HuffPost. "[They have] difficulty finding the correct bras, difficulty feeling comfortable in the workplace, difficulty in social situations and it doesn't change if they lose weight. In fact, they could exist trying to become to the gym but it'southward hard to exercise wearing two or three bras."
If your first reaction is to tell these women to get a reduction ― which over 43,000 women did last year ― Doft points out the run a risk that changing your body won't change your mind near how you expect and feel.
" Non all breast reductions are beautiful. People are agape of [having] large scars. And sometimes you discover things yous didn't actually notice because your breasts were distracting you," she said. "People who are unhappy in their torso, you always run the risk of being unhappy after you make a modify."
I wondered, then, how other people cope with the weight on their bodies and the weight of societal pressure on their self-image thanks to their chest size.
Twenty-two women told HuffPost (some of whom requested anonymity) how they feel about having large boobs, how they deal with the highs, the lows and the opinions of others, and how they're learning to love themselves while living big (that's definitely the last pun!).

My breasts are both my best asset and my worst depending on the day I am having.

The assumption that you're being sexual just for having big boobs is absurd and dangerous.

If I could get them cutting off tomorrow and cease upward with nothing, I would practise it in an instant." ―Bearding
