According to recent onlineindustryarticle menopause can bring about changes to the breast that are significantly different than what patients may have expected. According to the article a patient, Rosemary told her personal story of the effects menopause had on her breast. Rosemary was experiencing negative side effects as a result of menopause and consulted with her physician, who prescribed estrogen. Within a very short time, Rosemary, who had always considered that she was small framed with double-D breast size, found herself with double-F breasts. She realized she had to do something; she consulted with her physician who suggested surgery.

Rosemary, however, procrastinated, because she didn’t like the idea of surgery.  Rosemary finally made the decision to have breast reduction surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon. She says that it has now been 10 years since her surgery, and she has no visible scarring, and, her breasts still look “perfect.” She found that this decision improved her life dramatically, and she says it was “one of the best decisions” she has made.
