>>200049>>200061In general, the more nuanced version of my opinion on BRs (and what worked well with my own partner) I think is that it should be a true very last resort, outside of rare and unfortunate cases like cancer, legitimate spinal maladies, etc., of course.
I think if a woman is having a genuinely hard time as a result of being large-breasted, that the medical philosophy and infrastructure should ideally favor:
------ ------
✷ Guided physical therapy/training for pain
✷ Education on bra sizing/styling and choosing/fitting/caring for a properly supportive bra - as well as medical re-classification of bras above a certain size as pain relief devices as opposed to apparel.
✷ Much better education on nutrition/beneficial exercises for those who also desire to lose weight (or even if they don't -- like many of the women in /ssbbw -- in case they ever do desire to in the future for other health reasons).
✧✧ Weight loss can be useful for those whose breast size decreases with weight, but it is criminally overemphasized as the main/first recommendation (both online and in most medical offices), when it's realistically the most difficult/long-term lifestyle option for most people (especially if they have big boobs), while everything else I mentioned are things that are almost as important if not moreso.
✷ Counseling/therapy for mental health issues resulting from peer pressure, self-insecurity, sexual harassment, etc.
✷ And in a TRULY ideal world, we'd be better as a society at educating people about the deleterious effects of harassment and negative judgment of others' bodies
✧✧ (especially things like insulting/shaming/dehumanizing others or looking down on them due to jealousy, projection, stereotypes, etc., Which makes it important that body positivity and acceptance [which I prefer to think of as body neutrality and body respect] goes both ways and includes all people of all shapes, sizes, colors, etc.)
------ ------
This all comes not primarily from my attraction to large breasts, but because I sincerely think it would be the best approach for the person with large breasts herself. Surgery should always be a last resort for any issue in my mind.
Many people don't understand the reality of how invasive, imperfect and extreme surgery truly is. I do understand, having seen it firsthand after the numerous surgeries my close family members have had, and suffered through, and ended up worse off due to.
It bugs me how surgery is seen as this commonplace, quick fix now when it's literally having your flesh/blood sliced into and removed, all while being put in an artificial, temporary coma while your entire life and being is at the mercy of others.
It's just fucking insane we live in times where people instantly recommend THAT to someone whose breasts are (or aren't lol) causing them pain, as opposed to literally anything else first.
