Yahoo Lifestyle: Sherri Shepherd Breast Reduction

Sherri Shepherd Debuts ‘New Boobs’ After Complaints About Posture & Pain.

Dr. Anna Steve of Neinstein Plastic Surgery was recently featured in a Yahoo! Lifestyle article cover Sherri Shepherd’s breast reduction. An excerpt from the article can be found, below.

“I was a 42DD and I have to tell you,” Shepherd continued, “they were so heavy, I was slouching all of the time because of the weight. It started becoming really, really painful. My back was hurting very badly.”

According to Dr. Anna Steve, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and a breast specialist at New York-based Neinstein Plastic Surgery, Shepherd’s complaints aren’t uncommon.

“Women seek breast reduction for a variety of reasons, ranging from functional to aesthetic concerns,” Steve tells Yahoo Life. “Functional concerns include back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooving [bra straps making shoulder indentations], difficulty fitting bras and clothes, and skin breakdown or recurrent infections between the breast skin and abdomen. Aesthetic concerns may include large areolas, droopiness, extra skin, disproportionate size or asymmetry.”
