Stupid sayings, intrusive looks: a big breast can really unsettle a young girl. Especially when it is much smaller with your best friends. If you think that you are not attractive because of your big boobs, or that guys only care about you because of your boobs, it scratches your self-esteem. But it is quite normal that every girl's body changes rapidly during puberty. Buttocks and hips will be round, armpit and pubic hair will grow - and also the bosom. With some girls more, with others less. And you become more aware of these changes during puberty.

Spice up self-confidence

You probably wonder now and then whether everything is okay. Most girls go through puberty like that. It takes a while to get used to your new curves - no matter how pronounced they are. But sometimes you also perceive something in your body as a defect or flaw that no one else sees. The best remedy for insecurity and for making you feel comfortable in your own skin is a strong self-confidence. If you wear your bust with pride, you can just let stupid comments roll off you.

Admittedly, becoming confident is easier said than done. Perhaps it will help you if you take a careful look around your surroundings and ask around.You're pretty sure to find out that you're not the only one at your school who has big boobs. Probably even some girls with little bosom will envy you for your bust size. And some women even put a lot of money on the table to get your measurements!

Counter skillfully

A lot of guys also think big breasts are great - and often they don't hide this interest very well. It's understandable that you might feel uncomfortable when a boy blatantly stares at your breasts or makes a stupid remark. But try not to take it personally. The boys are also unfamiliar with the girls around them becoming women, especially since their bodies are also changing and the hormones are going crazy. The best thing to do is to think of a few sayings with which you can counter in such a situation, for example: “Hey, my eyes are a little higher up” or “Better to have a lot of chest than little brain”.

Care, support, tighten

If your breasts are getting bigger quickly, stretch marks may form in the skin. There is nothing to worry about. The stripes often fade by themselves after a few months, so that they can hardly be seen. Otherwise, you can keep your skin supple with jojoba oil. Eating a healthy diet and exercising will also help you tone your chest. The breast itself cannot be trained (it consists of glands and fatty tissue), but the muscles around it can. And: you can also strengthen your back with special exercises. This makes him strong and he can better balance the weight of the breasts.

Breast reduction

Large breasts only become a problem if they are so heavy that they cause health problems, for example back and neck pain or painful inflammation in the fold between the breast and stomach. Some young people also suffer from very severe mental problems. Breast reduction can only be useful if the breasts are really emotional or physical.

It is important that you seek advice from a doctor beforehand. He should already have experience with breast reductions. It is best to involve your parents as well. Before you start this step, your breasts must be fully grown. The size should have remained unchanged for at least half a year.

Plastic surgery can help you feel more comfortable with your body and regain your self-confidence. But it cannot make everything possible and it does not always guarantee that you will be satisfied with the result afterwards. Inhibitions and dissatisfaction with oneself cannot be operated on away. And a new bosom is also no guarantee that you will suddenly be satisfied, lucky and successful.

This is how a breast reduction works

If you actually decide to have a breast reduction, the doctor will remove enough skin and breast tissue that the breasts will eventually be the size you want. The nipple must then be moved upwards. The incision is usually made around the nipple and vertically downwards.

A breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery may cause infections to develop in the wound area, the wounds to heal slowly, or scars to form. Sometimes the breasts can be asymmetrical after the operation or the nipples are too high. In rare cases, milk ducts are injured so that the woman can no longer breastfeed.

A breast reduction is no small matter. You should think very carefully about whether you really want to take the risk.
