Ms Ng endured persistent neck, shoulder, and back aches that started in 2017 after her bra size expanded to a 36E. The disproportionate chest size forced her to wear heavily structured imported bras that cut painful grooves into her shoulders. Although non-surgical efforts including an eight-kilogram weight loss yielded no relief, surgical intervention resolved the chronic issues she had hesitated to address due to scarring concerns.

For years, Ms Rebecca Ng endured judgmental comments and chronic pain due to her large breasts. After undergoing breast reduction surgery, she realised just how much her breasts had been affecting her life.
I've had large breasts since secondary school, but a growth spurt after I gave birth to my first child in 2017 saw my bra size rapidly increase from a B cup to a D cup. By the time I had finished breastfeeding my second child, I was a 36E.
I did not realise how much my breasts were affecting my everyday life until I began thinking about all the things I had stopped doing or learnt to work around.
For example, I gradually gave up many physical activities.
Swimming? Maybe next time. Running? Absolutely not. Golf? I couldn't do it at all because my chest literally got in the way of my swing.
Funnily enough, I had never thought of myself as someone with a medical problem. I was simply a woman with very large breasts who had learned to adapt to them.
