Ideal breast reduction candidate:

In general, the best candidates for breast reduction are women: 18 years of age or older Mature enough to fully understand the procedure Whose activities are limited due to large breasts Experiencing physical discomfort due to large breasts Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding Not intending to breastfeed in the future In good physical and psychological health Wanting to improve their appearance and/or comfort Realistic in their expectations The above is only a partial list of the criteria that your surgeon will consider in determining whether or not this procedure is appropriate for you. Be sure to ask your surgeon if he / she considers you an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery. back to breast reduction questions

Alternatives:

Weight loss can often reduce the size of the breasts, and should be tried first, although some women's breasts are excessively large even when they are quite thin. Hormonal manipulation is not currently recommended. Liposuction of the breasts can reduce the size of the breasts without causing significant scarring, but most women do not choose this option because it makes the breasts sag more (since the size of the skin is not reduced). back to breast reduction questions Next >>
