Breast reduction options are the surgery itself and natural ways to reduce the chest size.

Options
Herbal treatments are among the first line of options that many women can turn to as an alternative to breast reduction. Most of the mass that makes up breasts are fat and glandular tissues. Losing weight is one way of actually reducing the chest size and going down a bra size or two. A combination of green tea, fruit extracts and plant resin has shown to be effective in reducing a woman's chest size. The problem with this option is that the desired results are slow in the making and the patient usually gets disappointed or frustrated with the slow outcome. It can take anywhere from six months or more before any noticeable results are seen with the taking of herbal medicines. The slowness will not greatly impact the back and neck pain that many women suffer due to their excessive bra sizes.
Doctors respect their patient's need to try out other options before going for a breast reduction operation. In some cases, trying out the other options is encouraged because the surgeon can see that the patient is not actually ready to undergo any major invasive operation. Some patients have the desire to undergo an operation but may lack the conviction to do so. Patients with underlying conditions may also not be suitable for the operation due to health risks.
